"They were mine"

Your heart races and your face feels hot with embarrassment. "Mom, they were mine," you admitted, trying to keep your voice steady.

"Why are you wearing girls' panties?" she demands for an answer with her sharp tone.

You took a deep breath before explaining, "They're more comfortable, Mom. The material is softer and airier. It's hard to describe, but they felt better against my skin, especially during hot summer days. You know how uncomfortable it can get when it's really humid? My groin area doesn't get as sweaty or chafed when I'm wearing these. I like how they breathe better and keep everything cooler. It's a lot less irritating than regular men's underwear."

Your mom's eyes narrow. "Where did you get them?"

"Sarah gave them to me," you say honestly. "She's a colleague from work. She thought they'd be more comfortable for me, especially since we've been working long hours on this new project."

Your mom raises an eyebrow. "Why would Sarah give you panties?"
