Connor and Lynne (Chasing the Wind) take the Great Underwear Challenge

Lynne: First of all, let us say thank you to Riley and Michael of Beth Muscat’s Remember the Eyes trilogy for inviting us to participate in this fun game. 
Connor: You call this fun?
Lynne: Humor me, love.


1. What do you call your underwear? Do you have any commonly used nicknames for them?


Connor: I call them unnecessary.
Lynne: I call mine lost, because they usually are. I’ve often wondered if you throw them away.
Connor: Not my fault! Talk to your son.
Lynne: Kiwi’s always my son when he’s doing something wrong.
Connor: If that were the case, he’d be your son ninety percent of the time.
Lynne: Only ninety percent?
Connor: He’s a perfect angel when he’s asleep.

2. Have you ever had that common dream of being in a public place wearing only your underwear?


Lynne: Actually, I had that dream the night before we met. I had to give a lecture in London–that’s how we met, remember?
Connor: How could I forget?


3. What’s the worst thing you can think of from which to make underwear?


Connor: Duct tape!
Lynne: Duct tape!


4. If you were a pair of underwear, what color would you be?


Connor: This is absurd!
Lynne: Play along. You might actually enjoy it.
Connor: Black.
Lynne: Sapphire blue.


5. Have either of you ever thrown your undies at a celebrity? If so, which one? If not, who would you throw them at, given the opportunity?


Lynne: No, but I’ve thrown them at Connor on occasion.
Connor: That’s how she lets me know she’s in the mood.


6. You’re out of clean underwear. What do you do?


Lynne: I borrow Connor’s.
Connor: I go commando. And that’s the reason why.


7. If you could have any message printed on your undies, what would it be?


Lynne: Come and Get It!
Connor: Don’t Start What You Can’t Finish.

8. Are your old enough to remember Underoos? If so, did you have any?


Connor: Under–what?
Lynne: They still make them, don’t they? I think Kiwi would enjoy them.
Connor: Kiwi would probably throw them out the window on the interstate in rush hour traffic….


9. How many bloggers does it take to put underwear on a goat?


Lynne: Five. I know because I participated in a goat makeover in college. It was the night before the biggest game of the year, and the opposing team’s mascot was a goat. They were completely humiliated when their mascot ran out onto the football field decked out in Victoria’s Secret!
Connor rolls his eyes….
Lynne: Now, wasn’t this fun?
Connor: Oh, of course it was….
Lynne: Now to pass the challenge along to the next participants–

At that moment, their two-year-old son, Daniel, nicknamed “Kiwi,” comes running through the room with one of Lynne’s bras on his head. He’s laughing as Connor and Lynne start chasing him….
