Who Wears Short Shorts

I thought I heard him wrong. Surely I heard him wrong. I am 50 years old, no one would ask me this question, would they?

He asked, "Do you have a pair of booty shorts?" My head swung around and I said, "What?" I was sure he had said something else.

He said, "Do you have a pair of booty shorts?" I laughed, hard. I did not even want to imagine me in booty shorts, not even when I was young enough to wear them.

I said, "Do you know what booty shorts are?"

He said, "Yeah, they're the really short shorts" while he moved his hand to demonstrate how short they would be.

I laughed again.

I told him that no, I did not have any booty shorts.

But I was surprised by the question, especially since it came from my 7-year-old grandson.

Where do they pick that stuff up at that age?

OK, let me get this straight...Your seven-year-old grandson asks you if you have a pair of booty shorts. My seven-year-old granddaughter TOLD me my hair was so blonde that it was white. Hmmmmm.....

I think it's a girls vs boys thing. When I objected and told him that it would not be a good thing for his grandmother to be wearing them, he said,"They don't show your WHOLE booty. They just come up high." I told him I knew that but I still didn't think it would be a good idea for me to be wearing booty shorts.
