An Unusual Compliment

An Unusual Compliment!
It was Christmas, and my wife, Jean, had baked several pies in preparation for company we were expecting for Christmas dinner. The evening was a success, and everyone had a good time.
The following day, the guests had all gone home and everything settled back down to a normal pace. That morning I was dressing to go to work and found the most unusual item in my underwear drawer. When I asked Jean what it was and told her where I had found it, she burst out laughing.
She said when she finished baking, she had cleaned up the kitchen, leaving a few items out on the counter for the maid to clean up the next day. However, since this item required being washed in the laundry, she had thrown it with the pastry mat and dish towels into the laundry hamper, not thinking to mention it to the maid.
Apparently when the maid washed and dried that load, she had no idea what the cylindrical thing was or where it should go. After carefully examining it, she must have decided it was something that I used personally, so she did the logical thing and placed it carefully in my underwear drawer! (Actually, it's part of a set: it goes over the rolling pin and is used with the cloth mat to prevent the pastry from sticking, being easy to wash after use.)
This knitted tube is about a foot long and would probably stretch out to at least 6" in diameter. In examining it, we could imagine her thought process, bringing her to the comical conclusion as to where it belonged! Even though I am over 6' tall and well over 260 pounds, I'm not that well-endowed! Just Sayin…RJS

I don’t think she spend too much time in a kitchen!
