Skimpy Delicates

A few years ago Marcus noticed that Mason was playing with a fragile mug at my mom's house. He yelled, "Grandma, Mason is playing with your delicates!" Grandma rushed in to the dining room expecting to find Mason with her underwear, then realized that Marcus had misused the word. We all got a good chuckle out of it. Today there was a similar episode. Marcus was explaining to me why he had dumped trash into the wrong bin. He said, "I was in a hurry...I was out here in my skimpies." I assume he meant skivvies, but it was great for another giggle.
