For all those who tend to be humiliated at the OB-GYN office...
In Melbourne, FL one of the radio stations paid money ($100-500) for people to tell their most embarrassing stories. This one netted the winner:
She said: I was due later in the week for an appointment with the gynecologist when early one morning I received a call from his office.
I had been rescheduled for early that morning at 9:30 am. I had just packed everyone off to school and it was 8:45 already. The trip to his office usually took about 35 minutes so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I'm sure, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So I rushed upstairs, threw off my dressing gown,wet the washcloth and gave myself a wash in
"that area" in front of the sink, taking extra care to make sure I was presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car, and raced to my appointment. I was in the
waiting room only a few minutes when he called me in. Knowing the procedure as I'm sure you all do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended I was in Hawaii or someother
place a million miles away from here. I was a little surprised when he said
"My...we have taken a little extra effort this morning, haven't we?"
but I didn't respond. The appointment was over. I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day went normal - some shopping, cleaning,and the evening meal, etc. At 8:30 that evening, my 14-year-old daughter was fixing to go to a school dance when she called down from the bathroom,
"Mom - where's my washcloth?" I called back for her to get another from the cabinet. She called back "No! I need the one that was here by the sink.
It had all my glitter and sparkles in it!!!!
