It reminded me of a Tupperware party that I had attended in the 90's.

Like Karen, I too hate these types of parties.  
(Tupperware, Pampered Chef etc)
Back when I lived in my hometown I got an invitation to a Tupperware party at my cousin Janet's home.  It said to bring what you wear to bed for a game. She said there would be food and booze.  Knowing my cousin I knew it would be more fun than most but I hate these things.

I read this piece of mail and moaned. Rick asked what I was reading. I handed it to him and he said, "Oh I would love to go to this." 

"Seriously?"

"Hey it's about food and I can eat and drink. We always have fun at Jan and Frank's why should you get all the fun?"

Yes, but they aren't having a party per se Rick. This is boring shit you have to sit through and then pretend you care. Everyone ooh's and aah's at all this plastic shit like it's something special. Then you must buy something"

"Oh it won't be that bad I can use some containers for leftovers."

"We wouldn't have so many leftovers if you didn't make everything by the vat."

He ignores me.
Since Rick was the cook in the family it made sense that this would be more fun to him.
But honestly, I didn't want to go. Because it was my cousin I called her and said I would attend and asked if I could bring Rick?  She laughed and said, "hell yes!"

First of all, I don't sleep in anything when I sleep.  I know, I know TMI.
I hate being encumbered while I slumber.
But for the sake of this game we were to play I threw a big old T-shirt in the bag but then at the last minute decided to take it out and leave the bag empty.

We were leaving when Rick got to the door with his bag.
For some reason, I never even thought about him doing this.
I asked what was in the bag since I knew he slept naked as well.
He laughed and said, "you'll see."

"You mean you put something in there?"

"You'll see."

Oh Lord help me.

We got to the party and a lot of Janet's friends knew us so Rick being there was no big deal.
Besides everyone always loves Rick because he's fun.
He had a few beers, he mingled, he ate.

The older woman who was Ms. Tupperware started the game. We had to guess who's bag belonged to whom by what was inside.  Now a lot of these women put in sexy lingerie. 
Yeah, right. We all know full well they don't sleep in this stuff.
She would open a bag, take out what was inside and hold it up for all to see.
We then had to write down on our paper our guess for who might wear this item of clothing to bed.

We were all laughing and commenting and having a nice enough time for such an event. 
Then the woman got a bag, she looked inside and burst into the biggest, loudest guffaw ever. She did not take out what was in the bag. She looked around and shook her head. 
Her face was now pink. I looked at Rick instantly and he looks like Mr. Innocent.
He never is innocent.

She opens the bag again and says as she clears her throat, "Well I can honestly say I have not seen this item before in a bag at one of my parties"

She reaches in and pulls out an unfurled condom.
Everyone laughs and one gal says, "Well at least we'll all have one correct now won't we?"

My cousin comes over and kisses him on the cheek and say how she loves him. 
Rick ends up winning the game getting the most matches of who wears what to bed.   Scary, huh?

Everyone had a fun reaction so I didn't have to kill my husband from pure shame and embarrassment. The women were all howling.  Thank goodness. 

He thought the party was fun.  Oh, of course, he did.
I think it had to do with all the women flirting with him, the food, the booze and who had the party.
If he had to attend a normal one he would hate them like normal women do.

Do you like these stupid parties?
