How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The One Where I Flash the Lawn Boy

in Everyday on 07/26/10

lawn

Note to self:

You live in the Suburbs, not a deserted island.  Occasionally there will be people who are close enough to your house that they will be able to see into your windows without even trying.  This is especially possible if your dear Hubby hires the lawn boy to do a little extra work.  

Dear Lawn Boy,

I am so sorry.  Blush.  I didn’t know you were in my backyard.  If I had known this I most certainly would not have been so bold as to take off my shirt and change my bra in the middle of the kitchen as you strode up onto the back deck!  Eeek!  I apologize for the fright I must have given you, and trust me when I say you scared the hell out of me.  Never before have I darted so quickly behind the island in the kitchen, and this is the first time I have had to commando crawl in my own house…half nudie to find my shirt.  Sigh.  So now you know, this is what real women’s boobs look like.  Boobs that are 39 years old and have nursed 2 children.  Clearly I did not know you were there or I would have sucked it in  I am not that kind of desperate housewife.

Hope I can avoid you forever until you come back to cut the grass next week.

Signed

Ten colors of red, giggling and laughing while screaming at my Hubby for not telling me the lawn boy was coming early, ridiculously embarrassed, Married Cougar in the Suburbs.

      Awesome! One time I flashed the mormon’s that were going door to door. And then I made friends with the nice woman they live with-a little awkward but something you will laugh about later! Promise

      Can’t help laughing out loud! I can only picture one of those “Desperate Housewives” scene :))
      I am sure he is as embarrassed as you are though 🙂

      LMAO. You should have embraced it and given him a little jiggle and a smile before high tailing it behind the counter. I bet you made that boys entire month! He’ll be talking about you for the entire school year. You should feel lucky! =)

      Considering my lawn boy is my husband, he might appreciate a boob shot while he tends to the grass. 🙂
