Oh.my.word.
Ya’ll.
THIS……..
I kid you not this happened right before church started this past Sunday. I noticed Randy wasn’t in his usual spot during the announcements. I figured he was talking to someone and was simply running late which would have been unusual so I was confused. This was the first time in a long time we had not connected right before the service so I hadn’t even seen him at all that morning. He gets to church at like 5:30-6:00am and while I love Jesus and all the church peoples you won’t see me at church that early.
Apparently he had a little wardrobe malfunction going on and didn’t know it. Our preschool teacher noticed as he was walking over to the sanctuary. Her words were, “Oh, oh no. No. You have to go home right now.” I still can’t stop laughing. If you wanted anybody in your church to see your husband’s ripped britches it would be this lady because she is so down to earth and non-judgmental.
So unbeknownst to anyone he ran home and changed his pants while announcements and opening worship was happening. He eased on in with a different pair of pants and nobody knew. Not even me.
When he got home from church he showed us his pants and we all died of embarrassment of what could have happened in front of the entire congregation.
I sent these pictures to Randy’s parents, with his permission, and to my Mom and said, “I feel like I need to show you these for accountability purposes. LOL!” Randy’s mom texted back with a similar story of Randy’s Dad. It runs in the family. Same thing happened to his Dad right before the service and he didn’t have time to go home and change and so……wait for it…….his mom STAPLED his pants in his office and told him to be careful when he sat down. I die! Right now I die thinking about this.
My husband has a great sense of humor and has allowed me to share this story. He will probably share it from the pulpit next week. LOL. His Dad asked me on Sunday if Randy told the congregation. No, not yet. I think he’s saving it for the perfect preaching moment – “the devil is sneaky; he can rip your life at the seams and you not even realize it. Be sure to listen to others when they tell you that you need to head back home.”
Praying nobody rips their pants today and if you do may you have a kind soul who will speak the truth.
This is so hilarious Melody! I am a clinical counselor & therapist. I was running a bit late to work one day because of road works & so just got in the door before my first patient arrived.
I went about my entire day seeing patient after patient until I realized I had left my sunglasses on top of my head & had my prescription eye glasses on as well!! Oh dear! Lol!
You’re welcome to join me in a cuppa,
Bless you,

That’s awesome! I can’t believe nobody told you. I attended a fund raising banquet one Fall and the stage decorations of leaves got stuck on my butt and I went through an entire long buffet line with nobody telling me until I got to my seat and then a lady told me. We’re talking a garland of leaves on my BUTT. Okay, it was like a short strand of three leaves but still…..leaves on my butt in front of hundreds of people. Not cool.
Hilarious!! Staples! So glad he had the chance to change! Thanks for sharing!
Oh goodness! As a preachers wife, i have stories, but not this one. We have fixed clothing mishaps with a stapler as Liz (above) mentions.
Oh goodness! These are the stories you tell for years to come! 😂 Bless him!
Yes indeed!
