Gross Money
When I was growing up most of the kids on my block had mothers that kept money in their bras, including my own mother if I remember correctly. What was up with that? Do women still keep rolled-up 5s in their undergarments? There was one time in particular when my friend’s mother asked us to go to the store for her, and inevitably out came the cash, all wrinkled and sweaty, and I remember thinking nothing of it. It was as if money from a bra was completely natural. Why, of course money didn’t come from trees, it came from bras! Maybe subconsciously I thought that someday — when I grew big boobs like all those Italian and Portuguese mothers — maybe I too would have a bra stuffed with cash.
Alas, it didn’t come true — I didn’t grow big boobs.
If you’re interesting in seeing some of my New Yorker cartoon rejections look here.
LOL… I didn’t see that one coming!
Yeeeee….!
That’s just wrong on so many levels!
Yes, guys… but wouldn’t you totally lap it up if it was a c-note?
ha
Huh. I got me a pretty healthy bust, and I STILL don’t have a lot of money. What’s up with that? Am I wearing the wrong kinda bra?
Maybe get the kind with a money-belt attached.
My mother has always kept not only money but a whole array of items in her bra for as long as I can remember. This at one time included – I kid you not – a small caliber handgun. (During her “freaked out from listening to the police scanner” years.) I was soooooo relieved when she got rid of that thing and went back to stuff like money and lipstick
Anne…. A handgun and lipstick? OUCH!
PS– your mother sounds fascinating!
Whoa. Anne’s mom sounds uber cool. I bet nobody messed with her in her neighbourhood!
Yeah, pretty much no one ever messes with my mom in ANY neighborhood. Including me
Seriously, I was always afraid she was going to shoot one of her boobs off!
“but wouldn’t you totally lap it up if it was a c-note?” Ewww…I might take it but I certainly wouldn’t “lap it up”
How about that used handkerchief along side the money – now that was ewwwwww!
Ha! I totally forgot about the handkerchief! God knows those bras didn’t need extra stuffing! Thanks for the gross memory, “ritz”…. hee hee
Where do these women keep their loonies and twonies?
I don’t know how you set it up to catch me off gaurd, but it did!… Lmbo!..
