Oh, there was much laughing. I think tears might have been rolling at one point I laughed so hard. And then, to make matters worse, three or four years later, we were visiting his grandmother for Christmas and his sister came out of the closet where his grandmother stores her bedding with a half-burnt pillow-case and a (again) WTF look on her face.
"Nana, WHY are you keeping this?"
Apparently the hubby's "quick thinking" skills told him to HIDE THE PILLOW CASE instead of, you know, throwing it away.
The story HAD to come out then, because I laughed so hard I thought I was going to put myself into early labor.
