Benefits of Getting Older

One thing about getting older is that you don't care so much what people think of you. You realize that people are not, in fact, watching you so very closely as your ego might trick you into thinking. The other day at Legoland, Divina informed me that she was done playing in the sprinklers at Pirate Shores and she wanted to be picked up. What she neglected to tell me was that she was about to pee. She was wearing a swim diaper, that don't work well for holding pee, I don't know what they are good for, but we put them on our kids for some reason. It leaked...down the left side of my body...onto my shoe. So back to the sprinklers we went. I should have known better. It was a very hot day and I was wearing a worn out, white gause peasant top. That's all. No bra. That's another benefit of getting older and not caring about what people think; you don't have to wear a bra. Well, of course, the irratic behavior of the sprinkler did not dawn on me, so I carefully offered my pee-peed left side to it. The thing squirted water on me head to toe on the offensive side. Pee gone and my white top was now transparent. My little pink boobie was just smiling at the sun. Yet, I was not that embarrassed. I held the fabric away from my body as best I could, but it kept clinging to me. Finding it very comical, I dried myself with a towel. I focused my attention on the sun and asked it dry me quickly. However, I'm sure there were many amused dad's at Pirate Shores that day.

Hahahaha.....Oh naughty naughty Carrie. Now you know that is inappropriate for Legoland! Hey what did Mark say when you told about his wet t-shirt wearing wife? Hahaha.... I'm assuming he wasn't there!

Now tell the truth, you did it on purpose right?

Those darn swim diapers!
Hana peed her swim dipes the other day and I found out they weren't waterproof from the inside.
Now I feel bad for all the pee Hana has released into our community pool!

I accidentally flashed a guy at LA Fitness pool a few months ago when one of my deflated "girls" fell out of my maternity swimsuit (was too cheap to buy a new one, plus it fits great below the bust!). I wasn't fit enough yet to swim the whole length, so I kept stopping and standing up to catch my breath. Who knows how long the boob was visible. Anyway, this man was standing at the side of the pool staring at me. I just went, "Oh, well" and tucked it back in. Nothing to see here, move along! :D
