Why Did I Do That?

Another week rolls by and once again it is time for members of the Loose Bloggers Consortium to dip their quills on a topic chosen for us by Gaelikaa:

Why Did I Do That?

I checked the dish in the oven and was satisfied that all was well.  It had a couple more hours to go at this low temperature, but from the look and the aroma I was sure the dinner would be a winner!  Turning to face the wall as I straightened up, I hung the oven gloves on their usual hook.

I had minutes before stepped out of the shower and wearing only my underwear, I tripped down the stairs to the kitchen.  Mammy was in the garden taking the clothes from the clothesline.   The house was quiet.  Daddy and the boys were at work and my friend and house guest was in his room.  It was a habit of his to disappear for an hour or two each afternoon to read or rest quietly.

It was only because I knew he was in his room that I dared run downstairs so scantily clad.  The door to the lounge was ajar, and to my horror my friend was sitting in an armchair reading a magazine on the far side of the room.  I did not hesitate on my journey, since there was no hint of awareness to my presence. I continued thinking I would be back and up the stairs without being noticed.

Alas, it was not so!

As I secured the oven gloves on the hook, I became aware of a pair of eyes giving me the once over.  My friend had seen me dash past the open living-room doorway.  There was nothing for it but to face the music and run!

I turned and was greeted with an approving raised eyebrow and broad smile.

THEN I WOKE UP!

    Oh I believe you. I have dreamt that I was teaching in my underwear. I think it might have something to do with that old ad about Maidenform Bras. LOL

    Ramana - It was a dream and the sad part was I woke up far too soon! :(

    Maria - I had no idea what to write for this weeks subject, so decided to do as Ramana always suggests - Leave it to my Muse. I went to sleep and that is what my Muse woke me with! :)

    This reminded me of an incident that happened last year.
    I was upstairs taken a shower getting ready to begin my day.
    After drying off with the towel , I realized I needed something downstairs in the laundry room. Thinking I was all alone in the house(my wife had already left for the day), I trodded downstairs to go to the laundry room. I turned the corner from the steps, there standing to start her cleaning tasks was the cleaning lady. I was completely naked. She saw me , I saw her,I quickly put my hands over my private parts and continued to the laundry room.
    She was blessed that day, this was “NOT” a dream.
    So Grannymar , you have not been quite so lucky on Skype. When naked, I will try to stay away from walking in front of the webcam.

    Gaelikaa - It might have been fun to discover what happened!

    Mayo, I don’t believe your motivation either.

    I dream that I’m naked in public. Doesn’t everybody? Or that I’m trying to “go to the bathroom” in public without anyone noticing.

    I actually did this in Paris years ago. I wore a skirt with no undies, spread out my skirt while sitting on a drain in a park.

    Also I went in the Gynecology entrance at a hospital. I pretended, didn’t speak, but I didn’t leave a urine sample either.

    BHB - Dreams are peculiar things!

    Actually I did have on undies. But I inherited the girl’s old ones & the elastic was so shot, I might have not had them on.

    BHB - Old style elastic caused many a problem for young ladies in days gone by!

    Well at least you had the unconscious modesty to have your underwear on! I’ve done that in broad daylight without a stitch but haven’t been caught - yet

    Baino - Some things sink in to the subconscious. Mind you, the chant that sticks in my mind from back then was “Cover your knees”!
