I had a nice conversation with the older of mom's two brothers. This uncle is my god father--though to be honest, I hadn't had all that much to do with him prior to his move to Florida back in the 1980s; and only in the last couple of years had we started texting on our phone.
He told me a story of the day mom introduced him to my dad. At the time, my uncle had lost a lot of weight. He took a shower and put on some loose pants without a belt and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. Mom and dad were in the kitchen and when my uncle walked in, mom introduced him to dad. As she said, "And this is my brother--" she yanked my uncle's pants down (and yes, my uncle was COMMANDO under his pants).
I couldn't even laugh. I blurted out, "My god, you HAD to have been mortified!" and my next words were,"Pretty predictable for mom!"
The remainder of my conversation with my uncle was very nice, and he talked about how much he really enjoyed my dad--and I like to think my dad enjoyed this uncle, as they had so much in common.
The fact that mom "pantsed" my uncle does make me wonder what on earth would make her think that was acceptable, or what OTHER equally mortifying things she did or were done to her while she lived with her parents.
WHO DOES THAT?
