CLEAN UNDERWEAR

MY MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT WHENEVER I GO OUT, THAT I SHOULD ALWAYS
REMEMBER TO WEAR CLEAN UNDER CLOTHING BECAUSE IN THE CASE OF AN
ACCIDENT, AND I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL, THEN THE DOCTORS
AND NURSES WOULDN'T THINK I WAS FROM A POOR FAMILY, AND THEY ALSO
WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT ME AFTER I WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL.
