This was a great story and romantic comedy.It is about Jack Laskin, who everyone seems to call Henry which was his father's name. Jack is happy just working in his hardware store and living his life and going out with his girlfriend. He does not need a lot of excitement. But that is what he is about to get.One day his mother gives him a pair of his grandfather's pants. Jack just sees a pair of Khakis with a stitched up bullet hole in the one knee. But he takes them from his mom. Later on he tries them on, certain they will not fit. But he squirms and squeezes his way into them and they fit! And they are super comfortable on top of it.  And the first funny thing that happens is when he goes to reach for a blue shirt, the pants itch. When he stops reaching, he stops itching. This continues until he grabs a white shirt, and than no itching. And this is the start of everything.He is soon dealing with his mother and her croonies who feel they must be in Jack's love life because of a long hidden family secret. They keep interfering with him and his girlfriend but think they are helping. They always are around and find a way into Jack's house when he is not expecting it. One is a big mouth who is an oversexed senior with a cigarrette hanging out of her mouth all the time and the other friend is the quiet one. But between them and Jack's mother, they are making Jack crazy. And emabarrasing him.Then there is also a very old family secret that I cannot tell or else it will be a spoiler. It is wacky and great and sends Jack on a crazy ride. And it has to do with his father and his grandfather, etc. and the pants.There is also another family secret that comes out when Jack is asked for a favor by an old friend of his fathers. But at this point Jack just is going with the flow because things are too crazy for him to believe.It was paced well and not to wordy. It seemed like it could be possible. It was very readable and enjoyable. I think everyone wouldlove it The humor was fantastic and the story line was very good. I would read it again.
