P,
It is so good to have you back in town. I’ve had no one with whom to share my recent discovery. Against any better judgment, I succumbed to the voices in my head suggesting a tight tee would somehow enhance my image. Quickly discovered it was too tight for anyone with good sense, and it was necessary to wear it au natural, that is, sans brassiere. Now, if you had been in town, or if hubby had been paying attention, I may not have made it out the front door. In the end, youngest cherub and I had a lovely outing to the market which led to many other successful errands. It seems, dearest P, that I was able to effectively parade my "nipplage" through my skintight apparel. Women clearly disdained me, but men seemed to fall all over themselves to help and listen to my scintillating insights about, well, everything.
Oh, dear P, it was if I was twenty again and well in command of my universe. The bondage of matrimony seemed to fall away as I flirted shamelessly to have some big brutish types load groceries, laundry, liquor–you name it. I considered dropping youngest at home and taking my new well exposed friends to more interesting venues but quickly realized I was really more show than go.
At last I asked hubby what he thought of my new sparkling self and he mentioned I seemed to have a couple of smudges on my flattened down bust line. When I mentioned they were called nipples, he smiled smugly and suggested he had forgotten because the children in recent years had more access to them than he did. Well it didn’t take long to convince the poor slob that his terrible plight could be remedied–if he agreed to a full compliment of household chores. Once again the old girls came through for me.
Considering making my way down to that fancy preschool today and hoping youngest might have a better chance for entry if I present things in a new light. It seems, however, that child care is still a largely female enterprise and my little discovery might not make such a good impression there. Ah well, better to be banned than go unnoticed, right P?
Faithfully,
C.
