7:18 a.m. Received text from our receptionist. She was going to be late to work. Could I cover the phones until she got there?
7:19 a.m. Pulled curlers from my hair and threw on a skirt.
7:25 a.m. Driving to work. Notice I have a small run in my nylons.
7:58 a.m. Arrive at work. Answer phones and stare at the run in my nylons. Not a big deal, no one will notice. Except I can't handle it.
9:30 a.m. Quick trip to Smiths Marketplace. Return to work and change into new nylons in the bathroom.
2:30 p.m. Glance down, notice a GINORMOUS run down my entire left leg. My brand new pair of nylons was seriously shredded to pieces. Think about pulling my old pair of nylons from the garbage because they're in way better shape than the ones I just spent $5 on. Decide against it. Curse the man (obviously it was a man) who invented nylons in the first place.
5:30 p.m. Home at last. Rip nylons into a million tiny bits. Smile. Actually that was $5 well spent.
The only thing I like about nylons is that they can make me feel a little girly after a long week of crawling on the floor playing with kids or cleaning all kinds of whatever. I always have a run or hole, what a scam. Loved your story!
ReplyDeleteOh man!! This is a very sad story! Stupid receptionist calling in late. <3
ReplyDeletebut I agree a man invented Nylons

Yep, it was all the receptionist's fault! :) Good thing we're such good friends.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read I'm not the only one who has gone on my break to buy a new pair because I had a run and then popped a hole in the new ones. That MAN who invented them should definitely be forced to wear them for at least a week straight. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. In fact, I think ALL men should be forced to wear nylons for a day or two to see how we suffer.
