I had to run an errand yesterday. I left work on a lunch break, and thank heavens I live in the vicinity of work, home, school, doctors, etc. I picked up my little one because I was going to leave her with her dad and then head back to work.
It was so hot yesterday, swealthering! I have an old car, the A/C is out at the moment and we drive with the window down. We made a stop at the bank because I wanted to make sure my funds were OK. You know how it is, write checks, make sure they clear!
Anyway, we had to stand in line at the bank. It was pretty busy around us. As usual my little one was busy, climbing on and off chairs, touching and everything a child would do. I opened my purse (bag, pocket book - people call it different things) to get my check book and other stuff out.
I left my pocket book opened while I kept on eye on her, wrote up my deposit slip, and took my money out. I looked up and the same person was still at the counter. Not now, I thought, a long transaction right when I'm in a hurry! So I waited patiently, while keeping an eye out and answering my daughter's 'gazillion' questions.
I noticed that I was getting knowing looks from some of the men around me, including the male teller over the counter. I smiled at the next person who walked by me because they were smiling and giving a knowing look.
I'm wondering to myself, I know I'm hot, and sweaty but I can't look that bad, cause I had on this blue dress that was pretty loose and long so I know I didn't have my dress stuck in my underwear! I swept my hand over my hair to make sure there was nothing stuck in it. Then I ran my hand up and down my face wondering if I looked a sight!LOL! I mean really now.
Then I remembered my purse was opened. Iooked down and there they were three brightly coloured wrapped (neon green) sanitary pads that was just sitting on top of my purse waving at everyone in all their glory! I swallowed an embarrased yelp and quickly tucked them in and zipped my bag shut!
You know, when you're in a hurry and didn't put the stuff that should be put inside the inner compartment away, that was me yesterday morning and in my hurry while being hot and bothered didn't realise how exposed they were, and I was!
Colour me embarrased! hehee [I feel like a 12 year old again!]
