a bra for lunch…exactly!

And because I couldn’t end the day on a mood update…thought I’d bring back the bra story…
it’s always good for a laugh!!!
~~~~~~~

At the end of a mopey day, I headed out to pick up my foster son from preschool.  
As I walked in, I found that not a one of the teachers would look me in the eye.
Perhaps they noticed I hadn’t showered?
Oh no.  
It was worse.
As his teacher handed me his things, one of which was the plastic bag that had held his lunch, she said with a smile, “I think you may have packed a little something extra for his lunch today.”
Confused, I began to undo the DOUBLE KNOT of the bag and cautiously I peered inside….
….only to see my STRAPLESS BRA. 
My 32A (since the secrets out anyway), 
what appears to be a training bra but really isn’t, 
strapless bra.  
Inside my fosters son lunch bag.  
At his private christian preschool.  
Where sometimes the pastor lunches with the kids.  
Where I have to show my face twice a week….
And because I wanted them to think I had noticed I went the day without it, I exclaimed, 
“Oh!  So, that’s where it was!  I was so looking for it all day!”
Um.  Ya.
She went on to tell me with a giggle that they all had a good laugh as the entire preschool sat at the lunch table while my little guy whipped out the contents of his lunch before them all, and then yelled, 
“A BRA?!?  WHAT IS A BRA DOING IN MY LUNCH?!?”
And seriously, what WAS a bra doing in his lunch? 
You don’t want to know.
In my defense, it WAS an accident though.
Poor kid.  
As though being in a foster home wasn’t enough to send him to therapy….now he’ll really have issues.
At the very least, it totally made me laugh.  
An honest, from my gut, laugh….
and while it was at my expense, 
it was still the exact medicine I needed.

  17. Oh my word – hilarious. There are times when we are glad to not be a 40EE.

  18. Oh my gosh! Hilarious. Or mortifying. Depending on who you ask I’m sure:)

  19. Okay, HOW it got there isn’t nearly as interesting…

    So, I’m not the BIGGEST fan of wearing a bra, so rather than put it on when I was leaving to take the kids to school, I put it in a bag to keep in the car for when I was going to go run errands.

    I never ended up running errands that day…came back home and of course….never even realized it was missing!!!

  20. That is freaking hilarious! My friend once in a tired new baby kind of way thought she tied her up with some ribbon in the dark, only it was her bra and when she was standing in a long line at the bank.. she felt something dangling on her neck.. felt it and realized it was her bra! Oh how I teased her for this!

  21. That.is.awesome.
    I totally would have done something like that, so I love you for sharing this story. 🙂
