The Anniversary Dinner

Okay - so my husband and I have been married for over 30 years. We have fun! We went out to dinner for our anniversary and to make it a little bit "special" I opted to wear a nice black dress, and...no undies. It makes for a playful evening. We were seated side-by-side at a table that looks out into the room. The table that would have provided cover for us had been moved to accommodate a large group. Oh, plus, you had to step up to get to the table. Of course it wasn't long before my husband started playing with the skirt of my dress, which was mid-calf length. At one point, I told him to stop because people could see what was happening under our table and the table cloth only extended a few inches over the edge. He disputed that and said it was dark under the table. Playful, playful. Lots of people in two groups facing us.

After a strong pre-dinner cocktail and a bottle of wine we were giggling and having fun and decided we were done with dinner and we'd have an after-dinner drink in the bar. I asked my husband to wait by the table after he got out to give me time to stretch out my bad leg. He got out from the table and charged toward the piano almost knocking a waitress down. I was laughing because I had just asked him to wait at the table, which he agreed to do. He came back to the table laughing and said "you're right, you can see everything...there was a light right between your legs." We were both laughing hysterically on our way out of the dining room to the bar, when I blurted out (in a whisper) "I'm laughing so hard I'm peeing my pants." Trouble was, I had no pants on!!! tinkle-tinkle!!

Good thing I had a longer dress on. It really was just a little, tiny tinkle.

So, in telling this story at the lunch table, the moral of the story was going to be "you young girls be sure to kegel often before, during and after pregnancy", but before I could say it someone else blurted out "wear undies." But, that would've taken all the fun out of it!

Anybody else have a funny or embarrassing story?

"I Heard Cackling Coming From That Table"

Snippets of conversation today:

"I did him, and him, and him, and him..... " (while flipping through a Pumpkin Masters carving book)

"I was standing in the bathroom, in my leopard print undergarments, and my young son walked in. He said Mommy, you look like a leprechaun!"

"How could you tell I was anxious?" Answer: "Well, you probably looked like you wanted to vomit."

"I laughed so hard I peed my pants."

"His shorts were so tight I didn't want to stand behind him at volleyball."

Purpose of Lunch Table Chat

Lunchtime conversations are often some of the high points of our days. Discussions of family, weddings, annoyances, jokes, and pretty much any topic under the sun give us a welcome break. We've laughed until we hurt so many times, we decided we should start recording some of these conversations. I'm guessing some of the tales won't translate well, but at least here's an attempt!
