>> I was due for an appointment with the gynaecologist later in the week.

>> Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell

>> me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had

>> only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already

>> around 8:45 am.

>> The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any

>> time to spare.

>> As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene

>> when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to

>> make the full effort.

>> So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that

>> was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in "that

>> area"

>> to

>> make sure I was at least presentable.

>> I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes,

>> hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.

>> I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.

>> Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table,

>> looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in

>> Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was just a little

>> surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra effort

>> this morning, haven't we?"

>> I didn't respond.

>> After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The

>> rest of the day was normal... some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc.

>> After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out

>> from the bathroom, "Mommy, where's my washcloth?" I told her to get

>> another one from the closet.

>> She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had

>> all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it."
