Real Moment

I was feeling pretty good while bouncing in the pool to the beat of Earth, Wind & Fire on the ghetto blaster and following the coordinating instructions of the water aerobics teacher to move both arms and legs in opposite directions. I had my San Francisco Giants baseball hat on to protect my face from the sun and slathered on sunscreen before entering the pool. My two piece tankini was kinda of cute and I had even rode my bike down to the pool. As an extra bonus, I hadn't slipped or fallen on the pool deck to embarrass myself.

The class was jumping in the water now...we were creating waves and you could watch them roll into other people swimming with their mouths open. Oops! Another wave just hit a swimmer and they got a mouthful of water. Hope they didn't mind!

As we brought the tempo down and started the "cool off" portion of the aerobics class, my eyes caught sight of something floating. At first, I thought it was a napkin or tissue that had been blown in by the wind into the pool. I waded through the water to get a closer inspection. It just kept floating on top, being tossed gently by the small waves on the surface. When I was close enough to see what it was, I gasped!

I quickly grabbed my boobs with both of my hands and sure enough, the little padding they put in swimsuits had come loose in one of my cups and was now floating in the water! I quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into my bottoms. I couldn't very well be "handling myself" while class was going on to put it back! I turned around to see if anyone had noticed and five women just looked at me. Finally one said,

"We knew it wasn't ours and so we sent it sailing over to you. Glad it found its home."

I just had a real moment and the only response to that is to start laughing. 

We all did.
