When you're a kid, you're excited about anything new. I had a new pack of panties that were white with teddy bears on them. Each pair was trimmed in either pink or purple. When we were going inside with the purchases, I told our neighbor (who was a nice teenaged boy) "look what I got!". He just said "yeah" & went on his way. Once we were inside, I got it good because apparently you're not supposed to show anyone, especially boys, your underwear whether they're in the pack or not. For the record: I was 5, it was the 1st I'd heard of that rule, & he was never inappropriate. You know how some people are just nice to kids that they see often in passing.
Jill- wow, talk about an overreaction from your mother.
girl, you didn't grow up with an Southern "old school" mother. You know, the "I brought you into this world and I will take you out". I turned out pretty damn good, if I don't say so myself.
It is funny now, but wasn't so funny back then.

Not just Southern mothers did that. I used to get similar punishments from my Mexican grandmother & from my mom.
My grandma used to scare us with her meat tenderizer (you know that big metal square tool w/ things sticking out the side). She always said that if we got outta line, she would use it. (FYI: she never did use it) We used to call it the "waffle head" cause that is what it would do to you.
