A little while ago, I wrote a post called My dad’s underpants. Late on, there was another called My brother’s underpants. This being the Internet, both posts were wildly popular, so it is only natural that I should do another one about my sister’s underpants.
But what do I write about? I have never taken much interest in her underpants. I mean, this is my sister we’re talking about.
I could, I suppose, call her and ask her to send me a pair. I can imagine the conversation now:
“Hey do you have a spare pair of underpants you can send me?”
“Er – why?”
“Well … you know …”
The other thing I could do is tell some tangentially related family anecdotes. But I can’t think of any that are a) tangentially related to sister underpants and b) suitable for public discourse.
About the only thing I can tell you is that because she belongs to the family she’s in, she is in the habit of wearing underwear until it quite literally falls apart. It’s an old family tradition.
I suspect the word “underpants” only applies to male underwear anyway.

I read the title of this post and immediately thought “oh gawsh…he really did get her to send some over after all…”
for the sake of your sister and those of us who dont get the same thrill in reading about such things, thankfully it wasnt so…
=p

Maybe she’ll read this and send some down on her own initiative. We live in hope!

Markk, I think you should desist right now or you could have a lawsuit on your hands! This is your LAWYER sister we’re talking about here…

Sarah (the sister)
that’s RIGHT! you just watch out..
although.. um.. that bit about family tradition is so true!! hehe. Even now I still think to myself ‘can I really afford this’.. this is just after I have spent $40 on lunch without thinking twice. But my head tells me that it is expensive and it is a purchase that must be deliberated on for several weeks beforehand.

Heh. So now I can take the ‘truth’ defense when the defamation lawsuit comes out. Thanks, Sarah, for scuttling your own case :p

It’s just the word “underpants”… it conjours up so many and varied thoughts, responses and memories… the blogs I could write about about
_MY_ sister’s underpants (I am the eldest of four kids, including two younger sisters)… now THAT would be a series of posts.
Post away, Markk…
