The half-slip that fell to the floor while in the hallway. I stepped out of it and neatly over it, pretending it was not mine.<BR/><BR/>2.) The bra pad (remember Wonder Bra) that fell out during an interview with a detective. <BR/><BR/>3.) The camisole I took off at work and stuff in my desk drawer after getting annoyed with a slipping strap. Weeks later, while looking for a notepad, my editor pulled it out of the drawer and held it up disbelievingly. The entire newsroom cracked up. <BR/><BR/>4.) The thigh-highs that slithered down my legs the first time I wore them to my summer office job. My dad was picking me up at noon for lunch, and by the time I reached the car, my stockings were flapping jauntily around my ankles and my dad was hunched over the steering wheel, laughing so hard that tears poured from his eyes. I was wearing a short, tight mini-skirt, just to give you the complete visual.Cathy, Amy and Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472486650115997239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-71639796525302333182007-11-15T22:57:00.000-06:002007-11-15T22:57:00.000-06:00ok, that bra fitting session story had me laughing...ok, that bra fitting session story had me laughing and laughing...<BR/><BR/>and, not to make you jealous or anything -- well, maybe just a little ;) -- school here doesn't start until 8:30am.

I am lmao!!<BR/><BR/>Totally needed the guffaws and it brings up the recollection of walking into a drycleaner and getting exceptionally good service. The whole day had sucked and I was feeling like the universe was finally smiling on me. Alright then.<BR/><BR/>I get back in the car and notice as I pull the seat belt across my chest that the flap from my nursing top was still up from givng one of the kiddos a wheeze or two before we ran into the cleaners-- afraid we would be late. <BR/><BR/>Yup that nice young man was the one next in line with the Universe...not me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-49827739208331159852007-11-15T17:49:00.000-06:002007-11-15T17:49:00.000-06:00we'll not call it running to keep from being tardy...we'll not call it running to keep from being tardy, we'll call it multi-tasking. and, apparently, enterainment. :)painted maypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446625015003854710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-84448777642480191872007-11-15T17:41:00.000-06:002007-11-15T17:41:00.000-06:00And so now you've got all of us laughing.

My little guy was in the NICU for a month after his birth. I went every day and my life was certainly up side down. One day the social worker was making rounds checking the mental pulse of each parenting unit. She came to me and we had a very brief exchange. I guess I passed her "test" but instead of getting up she leaned forward, then a little further - I thought, Dear Lord she is going to kiss me?!?!?!?!? Instead she leaned over to my ear and whispered, " Mom, your shirt is inside out!". I burst out laughing!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a great post!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122365458052947125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-82892326047701678152007-11-15T16:00:00.000-06:002007-11-15T16:00:00.000-06:00At least you're all getting some good family excer...At least you're all getting some good family excerise!
