Somehow LESS gay than the other Chippendales.
Because it’s Throwback Thursday, I’m going to recount a conversation that took place, last year, between myself and my, then, nine-year-old. We were discussing his new teacher, who had a strong Texas accent, which apparently reminded him of the twang of a contestant on The Amazing Race.
Liam: “His voice sounded like that Chippendale from Amazing Race.”
Me: “Um…please don’t tell him that.”
Liam: “Why? And what IS a Chippendale anyway?”
Me: (pause…calculating my options, before giving in to the truth) “They are men who dance in their underwear. It’s inappropriate.”
Liam: “Why do they dance in their underwear?”
Me: (hating my life) “For money.”
Liam: “Then why are they named after chipmunks?”
Me: “They’re not…I’ll explain it when I’m not driving.”
Liam: “Maybe it’s because none of them wear pants.”
