i was hurrying to make an early bus yesterday
to go meet up with angela and garrett when it
happened.
all that was in the can of soda fell into my lap
and sticky liquid soaked through the crotch and
upper part of my pants, and i nearly fell down
laughing.
clearly there was no time to think. i ran into
the bathroom with soda running down my leg and
into my sandals thinking maybe it wasn't so bad,
maybe i would be able to wash it out in the 6
minutes i had before the bus was due.
clearly i was trying far too hard to look at it
optimistically.
it looked like i forgot i wasn't wearing a diaper
and had just let it go. i cussed the day i let
myself get enchanted with dark gray clothes; my
trusty old black pants would never have left me
looking like i wet myself like this.
5 minutes. what do i do, what do i do, do i leave
them be and put them back on and pretend like
nothing while hoping it dries, do i quickly soak
them in water so at least they are evenly soaked,
do i skip the bus, what, what, what?
answer: neither.
super jennie was wearing her super thin, flimsy
rainbow coloured tie-dye scarf with turqoise fringe
that she got from super jessica for christmas.
super jennie decided to play it cool.
i tied the flimsy scarf around my waist and found that
even though it did reach halfway down my calves there
was a 2 inch gap down the side where it had been tied
together, and let's just say i may not be shy always,
but i'm not into flashing people. a girl could get
arrested, if nothing else.
i solved the problem by tying some of the fringe together,
and voila. flimsy illfitting rainbow skirt was born.
it's never been so amusing to stand by the road and wait for
the bus before, but what could i do? i just kept my face and
pretended i didn't have a clue i looked funny, and did my best
keeping the fringe tied and closed.
needless to say, i made it to the mall, and to angela and
garrett, and despite angela's generous offer to buy me something
on sale to wear, i thought i handled it with my usual circus
grace, and that was that.
needless to say, i brought an extra pair of pants to school
today.
transmission OUT!
