Dirty Laundry
Well obviously I’m mortified. The other night, right before a Young Adult Friends meeting, I changed my shirt so I wouldn’t show up in the same sweaty clothes I had been wearing all day. The meeting was lovely, la la la, and two hours later, I’m home, and the shirt is draped over a chair.
The next day, I thought, “I’m going to wear that same shirt again today. It’s still clean, and no one will know because I’m going to see completely different people today than I did yesterday." So I put on the shirt and went, la la la, about my merry business—business that included walking to a meeting I had scheduled at a nearby café. It was a fateful stroll, upon which I encountered not one but two people who had seen me in that shirt from the day before. Thanks a lot, Smalltimore. Maybe next time, you can arrange for me to go to the gym without any pants on.
Anyhoo, in other news, my Prius came yesterday. I named him Prudence. Prudence the Prius. Get it? It’s a name and a description!
Yeah, yeah, I’m wearing the same shirt today. Jesus God, I only have one short-sleeved shirt. I’m in Baltimore, not the Bahamas. And I’m holing up in my air-conditioned Prius until Thanksgiving.

Congrats on the new ride! I got a chance to ride in, and play with, my brother's brand new Prius over Memorial Day, and I must say - WOW. I was really struck by how "well endowed" it was in terms of features and comfort. Nice car.
In other news, I THOUGHT that was you! The shirt looked familiar.

I thought all cars were female . . . luckily you've given yours such a feminine name, he'll have gender identity issues the whole time you own him.
You can go to therapy together.

What if people see you in the same Prius tomorrow?
Linda: Thank you. It is nice that my endowments are universally recognized. In other news, Prudence is taking me to the mall to buy a new shirt. Who's laughing NOW, woman?
Brian: Maybe I should have named him Beverly Leslie.
Faustus: I hate you.

Heard this morning as we got ready for the gym
Me : You can't wear that today, you wore it yesterday at the gym.
Her : It's clean I washed it.
Me: You can't wear that, people will know.
Her: No one in our spin class from Saturday will be there today.
Me: doesn't matter, someone might see you.
Her: ok I'll change.
What would she do without me?

Coffeedog is sooo right, everyone you ran into from Meeting would have simply assumed that you had been indulging in extra-curricular shagging. Fortunately Quakers are not given to gossip so your secret is safe(-ish).
