A Funny Thing Happened on My Way Out of the Auditorium
I was attending a graduation
A long time ago, it has been a decade or two
I got dressed up for the occasion
Something I rarely do
You know how it is
Trying to look your best
Wanting to honor the family
So you wear a dress
And then it happens
Your elastic band breaks
Not the one on a sleeve
But a half-slip for heaven’s sake
It is a tricky situation
One that calls for quick action and some luck
but my hands are just not clever or near fast enough
To stop the slip from slipping all the way down to the floor
Right in the middle of heading to the auditorium door!
Moral of the story is:
Do NOT try to put the fallen slip back on, simply pick it up
and put it in your purse. Unfortunately,
my gut instinct was not the latter. LOL
Oh my gosh...I can't stop giggling. Oh, and this reminds me of when I was in church choir and my pantyhose had no staying up power and slipped to my ankles as I sang. Thank goodness I wan't in the first row. lol
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to that one Susie, and it is one of those things that is so funny now but at the time...not so funny. I agree not being on the first row was good, but it is a wonderful story to tell now. I have told my slip story many a time, and probably a time too many.LOL
DeleteFirst time I have heard the story. Reminds me of a time..this is what I am writing about. Thanks@
DeleteLol. Or put the slip in the trash. How funny! It has inspired me to write a similar tale!
ReplyDeleteThats a good idea too Toni. Unfortunately i never think of the better option till later LOL
DeleteThis reminds me of a woman i worked with in the city. Her friend let her out of the car at a busy intersection in downtown Vancouver. When he drove off, her skirt had gotten caught in the closed car door and got ripped right off her. There was a Hudsons Bay store on that corner so she walked across, went up the escalator, in her slip, and bought herself a skirt. Lol. She was very prim and proper too, but handled it with aplomb.
ReplyDeleteWow she did great! I would have really panicked then! LOL
DeleteOops...now that was moment :)
ReplyDeleteLOL true! 😂
ReplyDeleteIt's always easier to think of the best plan after you've already used the worst!
ReplyDeleteOh so true Sara! :-))
DeleteThose darn half slips!!! I had to tie a knot in one :( I am glad you can laugh at it now!
ReplyDeleteThat is how I felt about it...."that darn half slip?" I just plain hate dresses all the way around myself. LOL
