I never ever thought I was capable of leaving the scene
of “an accident”
Apparently I am
No no.. not the car type silly!
The tampon hit and run.
You see each month when I have my period and I am at work
and need to make a bathroom stop ..I get too lazy to bring my purse with me as
I am often running to the next meeting. So…I just bring a tampon with me.
That being said you can’t just carry a tampon to the
bathroom in your hand. I mean often on the way there I stop to chat-or shake someone’s
hand or something, so I have to find a place to put it right?
It always gets stuffed right down my shirt at the top of
my bra and off to the bathroom I go. This has worked for years. Very simple and
even makes me feel slightly mysterious and sexy believe it or not. Sorta like a
little secret just for me within the professional environment (like the same as
wearing no underwear)
Well..a few weeks ago-right in front of the elevators the
damn tampon falls out of my shirt, slides down my stomach and out the bottom of
my shirt and onto the floor!!!!!!
OMG.
Just as I am frantically bending to pick it up the elevator
doors starts opening. I can’t take any chances of anyone seeing this and so I
run away!!!! Very quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I leave the tampon there in front of the elevators in
plain sight!!!
What else was I to do??
It really did feel like a hit and run . I felt criminal like.
I ran around the corner to the bathroom and hid in the
stall with my face all red and flushed. And I started really really laughing, Almost
out loud. It was one of those "so funny pee in your pants moments" Thankfully I was near a toilet.
I knew when I came
out the tampon would obviously still be in front of the elevator and I had my
bra all ready for it when I planned to scoop it up.
But
it was gone!!! In the space of 4 mins!!!
Someone took it. OMG again!
An elevator full of tampon stealers or janitors I guess. Or a girl who had a heavy period? Or maybe
some guy took it and thought it was a pen?
So I went back to my office and laughed some more and
then quickly wrote this blog as I realized that I had nobody to tell this story
to. One BFF went on mat leave (how dare she have a baby again!) and another
well she just went missing in action. Another friend is a guy. Why do all my work friends leave me behind???
Somehow not sure my new boss would find this funny.
So I blogged quickly and no time to finish since I was at
work and saved the draft half finished. I forgot about it until tonight when my
Hubby and I were at a restaurant and he had a tampon safely tucked in his
pocket and I needed it. He said “you have no pockets-where will you put it?”
And down my dress it went againJ
He looked at me in an awe and with slight admiration. I could see he liked this...a lot. He
smiled and laughed…I could tell by the smile on his face what he was thinking.
“My funny wife”
I can always make my Guy laugh even after 19 yrs.
together.
Anything involving boobs impresses guys and makes them
giggle at 5yrs or 53 yrs. Ever notice that???
