So…I decided to go to a nearby Kohl’s Department Store since I had just received a 30% discount coupon in the mail. I needed to re-stock my Jockey String Bikini underwear. (I’ve been wearing those for years, and they’re really comfortable!) I headed to the lingerie area. The store was unbelievably busy with shoppers, but I finally found the free-standing display of the female Jockey underwear. The problem, however, was that there were two petite elderly women rummaging through ALL these shelves, and there was no room for me to find my size and style. They were chattering up a storm, comparing this price to that… this style to that…did they want the French cut…the Bikini Modern…the Hipster…whatever! I finally managed to edge myself in, and they started a conversation with me. One of them said, “We’re twins! Did you realize that?” I politely said, “Well, not really! You must be fraternal…not identical.” They confirmed that. Then one of them asked, “So how old are you?” I was surprised, but hey…it is what it is…and so I said, “I’m 72!” Then the other asked, “How old do you think WE are?” Well, I knew they were older, but I didn’t want to insult anyone…so I said “75?” They both laughed really loud and said at the same time, “WE’RE 94!!!” Wow…94 and shopping for bikini underpants! YOU GO GIRLS!

I left the store with a big smile on my face…not just because I saved $11.40. What a pleasure it was to meet the Underpants Twins!!! And I’m still smiling…
