Here’s a funny one that she pulled:
When I was in Army Basic Training at Fort Jackson, SC, it was a RULE at Mail Call that if you got a ‘Goodie Box’ sent to you from home, you had to pass it around and SHARE it.
I had called Mom and told her I needed a few more bras because that red sand in SC gets into everything. So, she baked me a batch of cookies, put them in a zip-lock bag, put the bras in the bottom of the box and sent it on.
I was in the first Co-Ed Training Platoon in 1979. The guy that had the box passed to him LAST for a COOKIE had a LOT of fun with my bras, waiving them around and putting one on his head, LOL!
If mom had put the bras on top and hid the cookies you could have kept them all for yourself :) Oh well.
