A Series of Embarrassing Mini-Stories

Here's a few short stories...embarrassing but don't take long to tell.

It was 1999 and I had lost weight. I was down to just under my goal weight, and was loving it. I had went out thrift store brousing and bought clothes, but I drew the line at buying my slips and such there. Until I could afford new ones, I was making due with my old, rather loose slips. Though I'd only lost a couple of dress sizes, they were in no way form fitting. But I thought, "Who cares? Who's going to see them?"

On that note I went to Sam's Club, to shop for groceries with Rob. We were walking down a very busy aisle, and I was pushing the cart. The wheel of the cart got caught on something, so I jiggled the cart and went on. A few minutes later, I felt like I was tripping on something, so I looked down at my feet. Around my ankles was my slip. I looked up. Rob was walking right beside me and hadn't noticed a thing. I looked down the aisle and saw a man and his wife staring at me. With as much composure as I could muster, I stepped out of the slip, hooked it with one of my toes, and very quietly dropped it in the trash can at the end of the aisle. I kept on going.

This story again proves that MY HUSBAND NEVER REALLY LOOKS AT ME! ;)

My second short story for the day:

We were in church, and at that time, we went to a very large church. My baby, Jo, was about two at the time. He wasn't fond of going the nursery, so we always sat in the back of the church. He was in the middle of potty training, and a back row seat insured a quick exit if needed.

During the singing, he indicated to Rob and I that he had to "go potty". Rob decided to take him, and I stayed behind, singing away. By the time they got back, it was prayer time. All was quiet in the huge church.

I looked over at the two, walking back to our seats, when all of a sudden, Jo started running to me, excited and very animated. In a voice that was just under a yell, he exclaimed, "MOMMY! I PEED!"

The entire church turned around and started cracking up laughing. Suddenly the back row didn't seem quite obscure enough for me. :)

That's it for today. I won't stop writing until I don't have an ounce of pride left inside me. HAHA! Who am I kidding? I lost all of my pride years ago! :)
