(I Blush to Admit) The Naked Truth

Funny true story: Many years ago, when the Perpetually Ground Son was just a baby, I lived in a little house with a walkout basement and no air conditioning.  It was a hot summer day, my oldest son was at his grandmother’s and PGS was taking a nap.  Hubby and I were curled up on the bed ‘in the buff’, watching TV, and I fell asleep.

Hubby and I were and are big Star Trek fans, and Star Trek can be relied on to be available even to a family without cable on a regular basis.  While I slept, Hubby was watching Star Trek, the original series, and probably reading a book.

When we sleep, we often process the things that are going on in our lives.   At that point in my life I was very worried about money (remember, new baby) and a new job that I’d been at for less than a year, and planning our wedding (Perpetually Grounded Son was an engagement present— oops) so, a lot on my mind.

Well, as often happens in Star Trek, that iconic Whoop Whoop Whoop of the Red Alert went off, and (I have to take my husband’s word for this — I have no memory of it) I sat straight up in bed, yelled “Oh, Shit!  Battlestations”, and ran across the room to the glass door that led to the back yard — stark bare-assed naked.

My husband said he was laughing so hard he barely had time to stop me.

And that is the naked truth about it.

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
