In Melbourne, Fl. one of the radio stations paid money ($100-$500) for
people to tell their most embarrassing stories. This one netted the
winner $300.....
I was due later that week for an appointment with the gynecologist when
early one morning I received a call from his office: I had been
rescheduled for early that morning at 9:30 am. I had just packed everyone
off to work and school and it was around 8:45already. The trip to his
office usually took about 35 minutes so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I'm sure, 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 dressing
gown, wet the washcloth and gave myself a wash in "that area" in front of
the sink, taking extra care to make sure that I was 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 only a few minutes when he called me in.
Knowing the procedure, as I am sure you all do, I hopped up on the table,
looked over at the other side of the room and pretended I was in Hawaii
or some other place a million miles away from here. I was a little
surprised when he said: "My...we have taken a little extra effort this
morning, haven't we?", but I didn't respond. The appointment over, I
heaved a sigh of relief and went home.
The rest of the day went normal, some shopping, cleaning and the evening
meal, etc. At 8:30 that evening my 14 year old daughter was fixing to go
to a school dance, when she called down from the bathroom, "Mom -where's
my washcloth?" I called back for her to get another from the cabinet.
She called back, "No -I need the one that was here by the sink. It had
all my glitter and sparkles in it."
