I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week.
Early one morning I received a call from the doctors office to tell
me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 a.m. I had
only just packed everyone off to work and school and it was already
around 8:45 a.m. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't
have any time to spare.

As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene
when making such a visit but this time I wasn't going to be able to
make the full effort. So I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet
the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a
quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I
threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, raced
to my appointment. I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes
when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I
hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and
pretended I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I
was a little surprised when the doctor said, 'My, we have made an
extra effort this morning, haven't we?' I didn't respond. After the
appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.

The rest of the day was normal...

Some shopping, cleaning and cooking. After school when my 6 year old
daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, 'Mommy,
where's my washcloth?'

I told her to get another one from the cupboard.

She replied, 'No, I need the one that was here by the sink. It had
all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.'

Never going back to that doctor. Ever.
