There is not a woman alive today who won’t appreciate this one!
I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the
week.
Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor’s office to
tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am.
I just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already
around 8:45 am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn’t
have any time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra
effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn’t going to be
able to make the full effort.
So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was
sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in ‘that area’
to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the
clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to
my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called
in.
Knowing the procedure, as I’m sure you do, I hopped up on the
table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in
Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the
doctor said, “My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven’t we?”
I didn’t respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.
The rest of the day was normal … some shopping, cleaning,
cooking, etc.
After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called
out from the bathroom, “Mommy, where’s my washcloth?”
I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, “No, I need the one that was here
by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.”
Oops!
