slip up

Yesterday, I decided to take Beckham on an outing to see a good friend. She lives about an hour away, so we decided to meet at a halfway point which ended up being a mega-mall (yippee). After eating at a much missed Chic-Fil-A (none in Michigan), we ventured over to Old Navy. I'm about to put Beckham in the moby wrap before I realize that he's had an explosive poop. We head for the bathroom. After getting him shiny and clean and snuggled in the wrap, said friend and I head out down the hallway towards the shops. (side note: this is the first time I have worn the moby wrap with a dress on). I can tell someone is walking behind us and i look to see. It's a middle-aged woman and she's staring at me kind of like i have a big red X on my butt. I keep walking and happen to look down. I realize that my dress is completely bunched up in my moby wrap around my waist and my slip is hanging out for all the world to see. By this time, we had entered into the mall area right next to the starbucks. Hello everyone! My name is Briana and I am carrying a baby, and yes...you can see my slip. Yes, my baby is crying and I don't know whether to try and get him quiet or pull my dress down. Your staring eyes are not making things any better.

My question to the lady walking behind me...."How long were you staring before you decided AGAINST telling me that I was heading out to the mall with my slip exposed?" C'mon now...we're all on the same team here. Help a girl out, will ya?

This reminds me of when you have toilet paper stuck on your foot. Aren't you always SO glad for that stranger who has the guts to stop you and say, "hey, you've got toilet paper stuck to your foot." So, just a reminder that even though its awkward to bring up....its even more awkward for the person when they have to go out into public (smile).
