Walmart Pants

When my husband and I took an overnight trip to visit family and go to a Billy Bob Thornton concert last week, we also got our first canoe ride courtesy of our grandson. All we had to do was sit there and relax. Unfortunately the canoe only had a “seat” for two people on either side, but enough space to fit someone in the middle. So I got the seat up front, and clutched the sides as he paddled along. My husband got to sit on the floor of the moving craft. By the end of the adventure, the back side of his pants were soaking wet and “filthy!” Since this was the only time he didn’t bring along a spare pair, we decided we better stop somewhere and get something! So we drove to Walmart and we dashed in. Our grandson said no one would notice. And if they did, they would probably ask “how was the fishing?” As he was searching for school supplies with his mom, we found the men’s department and took the first pair that was the right size - without trying them on. They ended up being fine, but probably a size too big. So when we got back to the house, he threw his good jeans in to the washing machine and came out looking great. Now he has an extra pair to wear around the house. They are probably not exactly what he would have gotten in less stressful shopping excursions, but you can’t go wrong at $16.99.
