Whoops...

My beloved godmother is like a brunette Bette Midler. She's bawdy and brash and every inch adorable and irresistible. Here is a brief look back at two of her greatest moments:
When I was a youngun, our neighbors were Dick and Mary Coffrey. Whenever my family threw a shin dig, they'd always be invited. Well, at one of our mid-autumn events, the ladies were in the kitchen gabbing, while Dick was out back pushing the kids on the swings. Well, Aunt Bette looks out back and says, "Mary, isn't your dick cold out there?" Okay, Dick may have only been wearing a t-shirt, and Aunt Bette's concern was warranted, however...it came out really wrong, thus leaving the room in a very awkward silence.
Not one to learn from her mistakes, the following year at the Memorial Day party, the gals were once again chatting together. This time they were watching the kids play in the front yard. Aunt Bette notices someone leaving Mary's side yard and asks, "Isn't that your dick across the street?" Oh, lord....Thankfully, the Coffrey's moved soon after that and we have yet to experience another faux pas of that magnitude from dear Aunt Bette. But her legacy continues on in so many other ways....

No wonder Aunt Bette said that if all he was wearing was a T-shirt. Put some PANTS on, man!
