I was just reading a Twitter friends blog and she mentioned Knickers. We call them panties or underpants here in USA; this immediately brought to mind a funny and embarrassing story about my dear Mother In Law, Margaret. She was a first generation Italian. He parents came from Sicily and it was an arranged marriage. I always enjoyed her stories about growing up Italian in Chicago. Margaret was a short lady, only four foot nine inches tall, and she had a loud deep voice. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She was very hard of hearing which is why she spoke loudly.
One day she told me of her visit to see her Physician, Dr. Salerno, who was Italian also. His patients were mostly Italian. He also would make home visits if needed. Rose was his Girl Friday. When the exam was completed Margaret dressed quickly so she could catch the next bus to go home. When she got home she found out she forgot her panties/underpants at the Dr.'s office. She immediately called the Doctor's office. Well, lo and behold, instead of Rose answering, Dr. Salerno answered and he said hello, and said, "Margaret......did you forget something?
Rose had gone home and Dr. Salerno found her underpants in the exam room! At this point Margaret said she would pick them up at a later date. I don't know if she ever did.
Someday soon I will write about Margaret and Sam Giancona, the Mob dude.
