the unthinkable...in walmart

>> Saturday, May 10, 2008

As I type this, I'm not really sure why I am wanting to spotlight my stupidness. Oh well, it's all for fun.

So, I was rushing through Walmart the other day when I walk past the clothes section and see a cute swimming suit cover up dress thing. I never use dressing rooms for quick try-ons because it wastes too much time, so I scouted out a mirror and slipped it on. Perfect fit. So, still rushing, I whipped the dress off and stood there for about five minutes (more like 5 seconds) when I looked in the mirror and noticed that I ripped my shirt off with the dress.

Yep...there I was...standing in the middle of the Walmart clothing section without a shirt on. So, of course, putting it back on in the fastest way possible was no graceful maneuver. I threw the dress back over my head to spare any possible onlookers the pain of seeing any more of me than they already had. I struggled for at least 10 minutes (more like 10 seconds) to get my shirt on with the dress still over my head.

With my shirt back in place, I dropped the dress, and walked away. I couldn't even bring myself to look up to see if anyone had witnessed that whole scene. I couldn't bear the pain.

Lesson learned? Always use a dressing room...they are there for a good reason.

What the heck! I can't not stop laughing. This will go down in history as the most embarassing moment. As classy as you are, there can't be too many!

I am laughing so hard to myself right now. I would have paid good money to have seen that...how funny. Thanks for the laugh!!

I love you Jean! I feel your pain. Don't worry you are not alone. Nursing opened that gigantic window of unintentional exposition and embarrassment for me. Does the Phrase "Letting it all hang out," ring a bell?

That is sooo funny! A few years ago at a church b-ball game my friend when to take her jersey off and did the same thing. She was standing there in front of the stage with everyone gathering for the prayer in her sweat pants, garments and bra. She had no idea. At least you eventually noticed it! LOL!

Jean I can't believe that happened to you....to me or one of my sisters- definitely! We have a genetic propensity for such experiences. I am so sorry...but, I did chuckle pretty enthusiastically.

Brett and Meredith 11:11 AM

Sarah and Trent 8:50 AM  

Oh wow. Look at allll the people that you've made their day now. It definitely sounds like something I would do! I thought it was embarrassing that I was wearing my pants inside-out yesterday. But no, you win.

Roger That 12:22 PM  

You are so funny. I am laughing so hard! I always try everything on over my clothes because I don't have time for dressing rooms but will always keep in mind the "Careful" removal process. Thanks!

Dan and Brittany 3:20 PM  

That's why we all love you Jean. I'm glad that you're willing to share an embarising moment so the rest of us can have a good laugh. We miss you guys and love to see how big your boys are getting!

Holly 12:16 AM  

I hate to admit that when Jason and I read this, we laughed our heads off and said we could totally see you doing that. You know we love you.

Dave and Becky 9:06 PM
