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.

      I’m definitely laughing out loud on this one. I can totally see how this could happen though. I wonder which way he went with this one – gross out/embarrassment or “ohmigosh can I mow the lawn there everyday?” HEHE!

      Oh dear. That would be so embarrassing! I hate seeing the landscaper right outside the windows. I get all creeped out. Remove a shirt and bra, and the situation would be horrifying.

      I totally will walk across my living room in the buff since all our widows face the back yard. I never considered a lawn man being back there seeing my goodies. Now I will think twice.
