Recently we went shopping to get Jason some new dress pants. He tried on a pair that was missing the button at the waistband. He also pointed out that they looked kinda dusty/dirty down at the cuffs. It kinda seemed like they had been worn and/or purchased before (maybe a sloppy return?) Since they fit very well, which is a needle-in-a-haystack accomplishment when it comes to my husband, we decided that sewing on a button and a cycle through the wash was totally worth it! We even got an additional 10% off for the flaws.
Jason wore them for the first time yesterday to church. At some point during the morning, he noticed that something was in the back pocket of the new (and newly washed) pants. He reached in and pulled out a wad of ripped up paper pieces! It was some kind of note that someone intended to destroy, but it ended up in this strange pair of pants and eventually landed in our home.
Well Jason simply could not resist! He got straight to work sorting through the pieces and putting the "puzzle" together...
At first we didn't think we had the complete note. The pieces were rather rumpled from being torn and then being washed. It was obviously a male's handwriting, and whoever it was didn't seem happy. My best guess is that this is what he wrote after someone just broke up with him (hee hee.) After working on it quite a bit yesterday, this is our completed product. This is as close as we are going to get, anyway.
"YOU DON'T HAVE 2
HIDE FROM ME OR
PRETEND YOUR BUSY
I WILL STAY AWAY
FROM YOU DO WHAT
YOU WANT THIS IS
WHAT I ALWAYS IMA(...?)
YOU TO DO ALWAYS (....?)
AND AVOIDING ME
THANKS FOR PLAYING
WITH ME LIKE THAT
GET ALL THE SPACE
YOU WANT
LIKE I SAID YOU
WANT TO BE ALONE"
Whoever wrote this has apparently never heard of punctuation.

Hysterical! And if I found a ripped up note in my pants, I wouldn't be able to resist either. Who knew pants could offer so much entertainment!
I hope someday when the great powers of the universe come together you can get the full story. . . and his English grade.
Weird! And funny, too. Great to have gotten good pants and a mystery to boot!
That is SO funny. I don't know why, but it kind of creeps me out to wear the clothes of people I don't know. I can't buy things from second hand stores even if I wash it a million times. If a friend or someone I knew gave me some hand me downs then I totally wouldn't care. My point - If that happened to me I don't know if I would think it's cool or if it would freak me out even more.
I will forever be disapointed each time I buy a new pair of pants and don't find a note in the pocket. Ha.
That is funny! I love that you guys put it together. That takes a lot of patience. You wonder about who wrote this and who he was writing to?
I would totally put it together too! Maybe that guy wore those pants on the night his lover told him he/she wanted more space. So he wrote the note and then returned the pants the next day. Ha ha! That's so funny though!
