Mr. No Pants

Katelyn and Emmy love to keep their eyes open for particular sites/stores whenever we are on the go. Our outings have recently become a little more interesting, thanks to a new novelty in town...

Mr. No Pants. We first spotted him a few weeks ago while we were driving past Sugarhouse Park. A gentleman perhaps in his 60's, wearing a long jersey that extended past the length of his extremely short shorts, giving the illusion that he was jogging pantless. My eyes shifted to the rear view mirror, hoping Katelyn's eyes wouldn't catch glimpse of him. But my little radar notices everything, and sure enough, she exploded into giggles.

"Mom, that man is jogging with no pants on!" I had to burst her comical bubble by assuring her that the man was in fact wearing pants (er, bottoms of some sort). Katelyn dismissed my notion; the thoughts of a pantless jogger was much more amusing in her mind.

As luck would have it, we have been fortunate enough to come across the old jogger at least half a dozen times on sunny days the last couple of weeks- he always appears to have forgotten his trousers. The sight of him never fails to send the girls into a full blown chuckle fit, and I just can't help but snicker along with them, because I am that mature. They have affectionately named him "Mr. No Pants".

Yup, it's gonna be a great summer.

  1. That's hilarious. And, I actually think I've seen him too...

    Just realized I don't have your email address, so I'm just replying on here. We're south of 39th, so a different stake. Glad you survived the move. We should meet up at a park, or the zoo sometime...if it ever warms up!
