One of the stressful-awkward-interesting-fun things about Rufus getting going with school is that it is a chance for us to meet a whole new set of families. Living in a small town as a "newcomer" (we've lived in this area for over 14 years) is awesome because you get to know "everyone" but without being part of the small-town gossip BS. We just keep our noses out of it as much as we can and so remain on the fringes of the drama.
Boudreaux has been in school long enough that not only does he have an established set of ~6 close friends but also we as parents have made friends with many of those families. Some of those families have kids in the same grade as Rufus, but most of those younger siblings are actually girls, which means that Rufus is making friends outside of this established circle. One such friend is named Lucas. Lucas has an awesome Mom named Margaret, who I like very much. She is fun and smart and has excellent perspective...partially because she is Mom to three boys, ages 8, 10, and 15. Good lord bless her.
Lucas was over playing the other day. He is the one who taught Rufus about loving Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. They are brothers in '70s rock. Margaret told me this hilarious story that I had to record for posterior.
Margaret had sent Lucas to his grandma's house. Lucas and grandma had decided to go Christmas shopping, to buy something for Margaret from her son. Suddenly, Margaret received a phone call, with her Mom (grandma) frantically whispering on the other end.
G: "I have a very odd question that I need to ask you."
M: "Okay...?"
G: "Do you need some new underwear?"
M: "Uh, no. I just bought some last month when they were on sale. I have plenty of underwear..........but that is a very strange question. Why are you asking me that?"
G: "Because Lucas is determined that he must buy you some new underwear for Christmas."
M: "Why would he care about buying me underwear for Christmas?"
G: "He is insistent. He says that all your underwear are worn out...that they are 'broken' and 'the butts have fallen out.'"
Margaret wears thongs.

"Broken"..."Butts fallen out"...LMAO!! That is classic!
I am a-thinkin that Rufus needs to ask his friend's mother a few questions about her underwear choices - like why she feels the need to wear a rope in her crack and what happens if you fart and accidently poop in your pants. There are just things a boy needs to know......
We gotta poop fetish at Y.M.'s casa cause we gotta Pooper in house. And she don't wear thongs.
Good thing! Wunner if Fatty or Cat Crap got any them thong things,
Y.M. will sleep better tonite if the answer B. negative. Don't need any poop problems amongst what living relatives we got.
