My back tensed painfully.
My abs were aching.
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
I couldn’t breathe. I said, “Oh my God, I can’t breathe!”
Not too long ago, The Mister picked me out a blouse at the store. It was bizarre in that 1) my husband actively shopped for me 2) the blouse was full price and 3) the blouse had more than two colors. The Mister has a sorta two color maximum about clothes. This is generally fortunate, because I don’t really care for prints, and when I do, I lean toward monochromatic, not that The Mister would agree on the definition of monochromatic. I doubt he even knows what that means. *asks* No, he doesn’t.
Anyway, I couldn’t believe he picked out the blouse, which is predominately blue, of course, but it has what looks like stippled paint in assorted colors. I’m shocked he picked out a clothes for me. I honestly don’t think he’s ever done that. It’s all silky and pretty and I love it.
I thought I’d wear it to work the other day…
Lemme tell you, I had a good gigglesnort, because um, the what-appears-to-be-a-modest-slit at the yoke on the hanger is actually quite the deep V on me. Whoa boobs.
It occurred to me that The Mister may have surmised this cleavage feature before me. But did he? Cause I know he knows I won’t take my boobs to work.
I sometimes take my boobs to parties, but I do not take my boobs to work. This may or may not have anything to do with why I was the world’s worst waitress…
I took off the shirt, pinned it closed, and put it back on. All good. Modesty, check. Ready for work.
At a later date, I put on the shirt to wear to dinner.
I was standing behind him when I asked, “Did you know this shirt was like this?”
He turned around, “Like wha– Oh! Hello!”
I laughed.
“No Baby, I didn’t.”
I wore the blouse out to dinner. I managed to eat a bowl of clam chowder and some crab cakes without any spillage, but the wild rice did me in. I shook out my napkin, “Too bad the dog’s not here.”
Then during dessert, I felt something hit my torso. I looked at Sassy and she looked back at me and I indicated for her to be quiet so as not to attract The Mister’s attention, because he does so love to make fun of me being a bad foodie who can’t even get all the food into her mouth.
Sassy and I failed.
He noticed.
I didn’t notice him noticing until he’d already noticed.
I discreetly felt myself up, checking to see where what part of my dessert landed…
It was inside. I could not discreetly reach into my blouse for it, but the booth was shielding me from any non-Motterns, soooooo — that slit came in handy.
*swoop swoop*dig dig*
The Mister said, “Oh suuure, when I do that at a restaurant, I’m being inappropriate, but when you do it, it’s okay! I don’t even get to kiss you, but you get to give yourself a little treat!”
I lost it. Just lost it.
I was overtaken in a fit of laughter.
Had we been at home, I may have fallen onto the floor, clutching my stomach and kicking my legs. I was trapped in a booth with The Mister, rollicking with spasms of laughter.
My back tensed painfully. “My back!”
My abs were aching. “My abs!”
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
I raised my arms over my head, “I need to yoga!”
I couldn’t breathe. I said, “Oh my God, I can’t breathe!”
For several minutes we all laughed like that.
I never did find what fell, but I found the best laugh I’d had in a long while.
Happy Friday Everyone!
*cackling like a hen and trying to catch my breath* Oh, gurll, you do so crack me up!

Finally a post about boobs that I can actually comment on. Thanks for the good laugh on a Friday. That’s just what I need to roll in the weekend. I used to buy clothes for the Mrs. all the time. These days, I just stare at stuff and shake my head.

How sweet of him to buy you a blouse. And one that works in so many ways. 😉

The Mister sent me a pajama-gram a long time ago, when he was overseas. As I recall, the pajamas were pretty, but sucked in terms of quality and comfort — I kept the pretty box they came in. Go figure THAT was durable 😉 It’s sweet, to be shopped for 🙂

You’ve just described me eating popcorn … well, except without all the laughter … Gilles just looking at me oddly while I’m peering inside my shirt. How they get inside my bra and half way around to the back I simply don’t understand.
.. and that’s why I don’t eat popcorn in public.

Thankfully, I live alone and rarely eat out. I definitely know that feeling when something drops – on the wrong side of my shirt. It doesn’t matter if it’s cookie crumbs or a piece of cauliflower, somehow it has to come out of there…
