One Friday a month me and my boys have a game night. Sometimes we play poker, sometimes we just play a good ole round of Phase 10. It is always pretty casual, we just meet up at someone's house and have a few drinks and play a game or two.
Our last game night changed everything.
It was the first time for our friend Parker to host. He set up a game table in the livingroom and set up chairs around it. The December game night always had the lowest attendance with everyone getting busy for the holidays, so there were only 4 chairs tonight, and one friend bailed. It was just 3 of us. We decided it would be a good Phase 10 night so nobody was losing their Christmas budget on poker.
It started our as a pretty regular game. We had played a couple rounds and it was so hot in Parker's house!
"Do need to pay a cover fee so will turn the AC down?! Damn, it's hot in here," I said jokingly but also I was burning up in my sweats and hoodie.
"I can turn the air down but it will take a while before it cools down. I can loan you some shorts and a t-shirt if you want," Parker replied.
"PLEASE! That would be awesome!" I said.
"Let me get some too if you got enough" our friend Dylan said.
"Sure thing" Parker said as he stood up and went to grab us both some clothes to change into.
I had never really noticed how short Parker's shorts were. On him they came about to his mid thigh but me and Dylan were both taller than him so this could be interesting.
Parker came back into the room and handed us both a set of clothes. Dylan went into the guestroom to change. I headed toward the bathroom.
As I got into the bathroom and slid down my sweats I starred at my reflection. I had forgotten to put on underwear. Was I going to go commando in my friends shorts or just put back on my sweats and say the shorts didn't fit. I picked up the shorts Parker had provided. The built in underwear had been cut out. I wonder if he had just done that... it did take him a little longer than I expected to grab the clothes for me and Dylan. I wanted to know if Dylan was having the same experience.
I texted him hoping he had taken his phone with him to to change "Hey did the shorts Parker gave you have the underwear cut out of them?"
