wetting my shorts..it was summertime.

okay so this was the summer of maybe 82 or 83, whenever Superman was released in the theaters.

My friend Holly and I had finished watching the movie and were standing outside waiting for my mother to pick us up.  It was probably 7 or 8 o'clock at night.  It was nice and warm and it was raining outside so we stood under the overhang of the plaza that the theater was located in.  This was in Newburyport, MA near the Shaws grocery store.

While we were waiting there were some boys we thought were cute so we stood real pretty looking, trying to impress them.  I know I was wearing yellow terry cloth shorts.

Does anyone remember the commercial for Kibbles and Bits where the dogs are running home singing "Kibbles and bits, kibbles and bits, I'm gonna get me some kibbles and bits"?  Well if you do, Holly made me laugh so hard because she knew we were going home to eat dinner and she heard my mother say she was making beans for dinner.  Holly started singing "Baked beans, baked beans, I'm gonna get me some baked beans"  Little did she know it was green beans being served, not baked beans.

Of course because I laughed so hard I lost control of my ..ya my bladder.. again.  Hindsight is 20/20.  If I could do it all over again I would have stepped out into the rain and wet my shorts.  You see, my yellow terry cloth shorts didn't show any sort of wetness.  What gave it away was the big puddle at my feet  because remember we were standing under the overhang where no rain was hitting the ground..dry as a bone under there.and the wet footprints that lead out of that puddle leading to my mother's car was a dead give away.  Way to impress those 13 yr old boys!!
