Exposed

Inevitably the day arrived; the day that hubby and I would have to scramble around, look for cover and make up a crazy, stupid story. Yes…that day came and it was quite hilarious! I knew it was coming but I didn’t know when and I didn’t expect it to be so soon.

You know how crazy busy it’s been around here recently – working full time while trying to be a mom and wife, while planning a conference on my “spare time”. So, something had to give, and s-e-x was that thing. I know, right….what a bummer!

So the other day I got home relatively early and princess was watching “On Demand” (her favorite) so hubby nudges me and invites me upstairs. I say why not because there was no time like that time and princess is usually good for a twenty minute block when she’s watching a show On Demand. Hubby goes upstairs without notification to princess and I follow a few minutes later ostensibly to use the potty.

We get it going really quickly because time was of the essence. We’re pretty much into it as we hear the pitter patter of little feet as she makes her way upstairs. Hubby grabs one cover leaving me very exposed so I rush for another one that’s close by and we lay down under the covers.

“What are you guys doing?” she said very inquisitively.
“Oh, just relaxing and watching tv.” we responded.
“Why are you watching tv up here?” suggesting that it didn’t make any sense.
“You should come watch On Demand with me!” she said.
“Sure thing!” I said hoping that she would leave the room because I couldn’t move from the position I assumed because I was undressed under the towel that I grabbed for cover.
“Let’s go mommy” she said as she walked out the door.
“Phew!” I remarked to hubby “That was a close one.”

I thought we would get a “pass” until she was about five but I didn’t think that we would have to reserve activities at age three. How have you handled this situation – because I’m not the only one?
