Performance Anxiety

What are two things in the air that can get you pregnant?

Feet.


This morning they were reviewing the Michael Jackson service on the news. After a few minutes I realized I was standing naked by the TV holding my granny panties up in front of me like a big old squirrel. Boyfriend Skeet? Lying in bed, probably witnessing this behavior.

We live in a studio apartment. One room. No matter where I am, he's witnessing this behavior.

I got out of bed last week and he asked me where I was going.
Where am I going? In our one room apartment?
My mother always used to ask this when I was heading down the stairs to our basement.
Always. Not once did I go to the basement without mom wondering if I'd found a netherworld portal, or her super-secret stash. Where did she think I was going? What might I have discovered, had I taken the hint and looked hard enough through our basement? Where did she go, when she walked down those stairs? Clearly not where I was going, which was to get some granny panties out of the dryer.

  1. haha what an annoying compulsion. I do it too, though "where you goin where you goin where you goin"
    husband: "uhhh i have to piss"
    and then there is the smallest crazy sense of relief at the back of your mind like "whew, okay, that means he'll be back soon...he's not going to russia or anything"
    cuckoo.
