I had treated myself to a package of new underwear, Hanes knit boxers, one blue, one gray.
And I had dropped the gray in my laundry basket where, unbeknown to me a busy rodent was gathering stuff for nesting and ate holes in my brand new skivvies.
When I discovered this mishap I was left with some tough decisions.
Should I go against the admonitions of Mothers everywhere to always wear clean and whole undies, just in case of accidents or hospital stays or other calamities where people might see your undies and point fingers at you if these were not clean and whole, or should I ignore all that and still use the new but now holey undies.
I took the chance and I am still taking the chance, although the holes have gotten progressively larger.
So I wonder if this is frugality, or just me being cheap.
