The Community Meeting

I had a feeling it was a bad idea to bring my daughter along with me and my husband to our HOA meeting last week, but a neighbor said she was bringing her twins, so I thought "Surely we can manage one if they can manage two." Well, the meeting was held in an auditorium (think echo), and while being fascinated with jumping in and out of the chairs, she hit her her head and asked me, quite loudly to "spank the chair." Chair spanked, we moved up to the back row as not to disturb guests. At some point I must have raised my arm, as my daughter immediately asked "Mommy, what's that under your arm?" I knew I had a little five o'clock shadow going on as I rushed to get dressed that morning but thought no one would notice - wrong, a three-foot tall "inch high private eye" has the perfect view! I immediately said "It's deodorant." Calling my bluff, she said "Let me see Mommy," and I had to post my unshaved arm pit against the wall so she could examine it - over and over again. Finally she asked to see my breasts and proceeded to pull at my top and my bra for closer inspection. At that point, I got up and left my husband to attend the meeting. As I picked my daughter up and tried to hold my head high, I knew that a room full of 500 people now knew that I a) have occassionally spanked my daughter, b) don't shave as often as I should and c) have a child obsessed with my breasts." I think I shared enough with them for one day. And my neighbor with the twins? She never showed up - smart woman!!!
