Drawing Challenge 9

Underwear 


Dit keer gaat de Drawing Challenge over ondergoed.Stefanie kwam met dit woord. Dank je wel, het bracht een herinnering boven die ergens ver weg verstopt zat.
Dit plaatje gaat over een meisje met een grote, rode onderbroek. Ik dus. Op een mooie zomerdag had ik een uitje met de klas. Het was zo warm dat de meesters en juffen besloten van het originele programma af te wijken en lekker te gaan zwemmen. Daar hadden we natuurlijk niet op gerekend. Niemand had zwemspullen bij zich. Geeft niks, zo zeiden ze, dan gaat iedereen toch lekker in z'n/haar ondergoed zwemmen? Goed idee, het was behoorlijk warm en een lekker afkoelen in water zagen we wel zitten. Nu had ik die dag een nieuwe, grote, rode onderbroek aan. M'n moeder kocht graag kleding op de groei..en toen ik uit het water kwam zat íe dus op m'n knieën. Pffffff ik schaamde me dood. Wil je lezen wat andere deelnemers bij dit woord hebben gemaakt, klik dan op de naam Stefanie.

This time the Drawing Challenge is all about underwear. Stefanie came with this word. Thank you, it brought back a memory that I'd hidden.
This picture is the story of a little girl with a big, red underpants. It's me. On a beautiful summerday I had a trip with my class. It was sunny and hot and the teachers decided to change their program and go for a swim. We had not calculated that . Nobody had their swim shorts with them. It doesn't matter, the teachers said. You all can swim in your underpants. That was a great idea, it was really hot and in the water we would cool down. That day I weared a new, big, red underpants. My mother liked to buy clothes big and when I came out of the water, the pants was sitting on my knees. Pffff.... I was ashamed.

  3. Oh, I know exactly how you felt that day! I was brought up by my Granny and she always insisted on bying stuff at least one size bigger than needed. I was 16 and had to wear a pair of trousers to my very first party (!!!) that was way too big. I still remember that I wore a Long Cardigan the whole evening, because the Jeans made my bum look the size of Everest! Horrible!

  6. Oh no! Poor little you. Oh well, now you can laugh about it. Mostly, when my children and I were in Europe over the summers, they were swimming and running around naked. I loved those free days. That doesn't happen so much in North America, except at my cabin which is pretty isolated.

  10. you've reminded me of a similiar story, happening to me when I was a child. back then it had not been funny at all, but it is good to know, that some wounds do heal with time. and that I can smile about it now.

  12. We've all had embarrassing moments but maybe not due to our underwear! Love the bright red..... probably matched the colour of you blushing cheeks! Happy week to you Joke.
