Last evening, when I was walking back to my car after meeting a friend for dinner, I was stopped by a stranger who told me with a smile:
"Excuse me, you have a hole in your backside."
OMG! I was taken aback!
I looked at him and I didn't know what to say to that.
I mean, how would you react if you were in my shoes?

Black hole? |
Of course, I have hole in my backside.
All of us do, don't we?
I wondered if he was trying to be funny.
Anyway, I must have stared at him long enough for him to feel uncomfortable after that.
He gave a weak smile and pointed at the back of my pants.
I turned to look and found a big tear in the seat of my pants!
So, that was what he meant.
I smiled and thanked him for telling me.
It must have happened very recently as I didn't see the tear when I did the laundry over the weekend.
I have had this pair of pants for almost 10 years.
I knew it was getting a bit threadbare and even ratty looking in some parts but this particular tear makes it (possibly) indecent to wear out from now on.
Looks like I will have to part ways with another old friend.
Feeling a bit sad but what to do?
