She did what??

I just got the greatest call from an old friend that had me rolling on the floor so I had to share. I tend to be the subject of such funny stories so the fact that I am not in this one is really a nice change. LOL

I have a great friend who lives way down south and has been fighting off rumors that she is gay for a very long time. Well a few years ago she came out to all her friends. We of course always knew but were proud of her step. She didn't come out to her family though.

Her mother is by far one of the most caring and heartwarming women I have ever known. She has always considered me family and treated me as such. When I came out to her she didn't bat an eye. She said whatever I was, as long as I was happy, she was happy for me. So I am not sure why my friend would be afraid to tell her mother. But, that's her call.

Here is the story:
My friend was out riding horses and having a good time. She had some friends over and they were all showing off. She decides to race one of the guys. I am not sure what spooked her horse but everyone who was watching said she was winning the race one minute and then flying through the air the next. Everyone ran to her side to see if she was ok when they notice the very odd angle her leg is in. She tries to stand up and screams. There is something very wrong with her leg. So off to the ER they go. Here is where I should point out that she is very masculine in how she carries herself and how she dresses. She had the annoying moment when the nurse called her Sir. And then was even more bothered when she found out her mother had been called.

Her mom shows up just as they are drugging her. They then tell them both she is going to have surgery and are going to cut off her jeans. My friend goes crazy. She keeps telling them she can get them off just give her some privacy. They won't let her stand up now that she has all those narcotics in her system and don't want to risk her further harming her leg. So they start cutting. Her mom tells her she will buy her new jeans so just relax. My friend is still going crazy. She pulls the nurse in close and whispers something to her...the nurse asks her to repeat it and when she does the nurse says out loud, "What is packing?"

I of course am laughing my ass off when I get to this point in the story..my friend has to wait for the tears to stop rolling so she can tell me the rest. I guess the meds really take over at this point and she is out....so they cut off her jeans. She goes to surgery and wakes up in recovery. She doesn't remember much right off and seems ok. Then her mom goes back in there to see her...she asks how she feels and all that jazz....then she wants to know why she had a plastic penis in her pants. I would have begged for more drugs at that moment.

So, my dear friend, came out to her mother and defined "Packing" (see definition in previous post)to her. Her mother was actually very cool about the whole thing....and then said this would be worse then her having had on dirty underwear.

A few months later it's my friends birthday. Again her mother is super cool and very understanding.....what did mommy get her for her big day??? A gift certificate to a naughty store, some break away pants, and new...clean underwear. What a mom!!
