Confessions from a DWM

March 25, 2009 · Print This Article

Yesterday? I did something. Something I swore I’d never do. Something I have come out strongly against. Something about which I can be a leeeettle bit judgmental. Judgy McJudgerpants. Judge-o-ramma lamma bing bangish. But it was late! Almost two hours later than I usually leave work! And my kids were wondering where I was! And I had limited cell service in my building! And I only had a small window of opportunity to call home before I hit the Metro and lost all service! And I think I might have even been a little delirious due to hunger and sleep deprivation! I’m only saying it is POSSIBLE, okay?! A colossal lapse in judgment brought about by an unhappy confluence of desperation and opportunity! Because I needed to call home and I had already left the office suite and I had one more super quick stop before heading out and the one place in the building with almost all bars was…

Gosh. This is so much harder than I thought it would be. I can hardly bear to say it. But the sad truth is…

Y’all? Yesterday evening? As I was leaving work? I… I… I was a public restroom cell phone user.

GAH! I know! RIGHT?! The SHAME.

    I think that it is okay that you used your cell in the bathroom…you got a post out of it, and for that I am happy.

    I love the flashback. And I will laugh all day about toilets. Lots and lots of toilets.

    AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! NOT NEAR THE TOILETS!!! OH, CAT, THE SHAME. I’ll bet someone heard you and was all, “YUCK, that lady is TOTALLY on her phone in the restroom near the TOILETS!”.

    Wow. But you know, a Momma’s gotta do what a Momma’s gotta do. At least you had a good motive.

    I’m so ashamed. No, seriously.

    Oh, thank goodness it was about your cell phone!! For the first seven sentences, I thought you were going to confess to (finally) joining the PTA!!

    The PTA?! Now that WOULD have been a shame…

    Oh, I kid! Sort of!

    Thanks for a good laugh and a good plan! I’m totally trying the flushing trick next time.

Got something to say?
