Hot and Stymied

A couple of nights ago, McHotty and I were getting it on. We’d greased the wheels, and were about to get in gear. McHotty, naked, runs to my dresser drawer to grab a condom:

Drawer opened, scramble, scramble, drawer closed. Flummoxed pause.

I don’t like the sound of that.

“Maybe the condoms are in your drawer,” I offer, hopefully.

Open, scramble, sigh, close. “Shit.”

“Did you look under the bed?” I ask, testily.

McHotty sticks his head under the bed.

“No! Just an empty wrapper. And a lot of books.”

Hmmm. What books! I must clean under the bed, I think.

“You gotta be fucking kidding me,” I say.

“Um, no.” McHotty, plaintively.

Naked, I leap into action and scour dresser drawers. I reach under the bed. I even look under the mattress. Nada. I do a quick calculation what day of my cycle it is…day 9…-ish…I think.

“Fuck it. Go grab a handful of kleenex.”

You do realize this is how I became the MOTHER to three...(and I'm not even going to tell you how many times I conceived only to later miscarry...)

This is the reason we started buying in BULK at the friendly neighbourhood Costco...

Now we just revel in his Big V.

My comment got eaten, I think. Although if one comes up under 'my stream', that was me using a different Google account. This Google/Blogger hookup confuses me.

Anyway...yeah, I was just sayin' that maybe you should remember that date on your calendar, in case, maybe nine months or so down the road, you need to refer to it...

I would be so mad at my husband.
I do believe we had a close call one time but one was recovered from the back of the sock drawer.
You are brave.

WE can thank that VERY THING for The Boy. And we are thankful for him, so it all worked out just fine.

Been there, done that, more times than I'd like to admit. If you're in a good mood, it can be creative fodder, I suppose.

And kgirl's comment made me laugh out loud.

I'm with s@bd--how do you make a condom out of Kleenex?
Wouldn't it become all mushy rather quickly?
