Acts 12 4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
When looking for something clever to write about regarding the above lost word of the day, Google directed me to adult trouser guards. AKA - adult diapers. This made me giggle.
Last summer in our quest to do as much as possible for the low, low price of FREE my family signed up for all kinds of free samples. And when we were offered adult diaper samples we said sure -- and promptly sent them to my father. Needless to say, he was royally pissed. (Pun totally intended.)
My mother promptly (and rather sarcastically) thanked me for the hissy fit that my dad pitched upon pulling the package from the mailbox. Apparently he was not quite appreciative as we'd anticipated. I'm guessing he probably wasn't fond of the hair replacement, AARP, or motorized scooter literature, either.
In my defense, I was just trying to help. He was turning 60! That's a milestone birthday. Some men don't even make it to age 60, so it was more like "Congratulations!" than an effort to rub it in about his birthday.
When he finally brought the incident of receiving the adult diapers up in conversation, I managed not to giggle. I looked him in the eye and, mustering all the sympathy I possessed, said the only thing that I could think to say about the situation. I blamed my brother.
