Skirt + Hammock

I don't wear skirts often. But on Saturday, I went out shopping and bought a really cute one that I was dying to show off. So when Dana and Ryan phoned us and invited us over to swim in their pool, I threw on my bathing suit, a tank top and, of course, my new skirt!

Dana and Ryan have a two year old that is in love with Cole (and Cole loves her back) and a 3 month old baby. I was holding the baby who was fussing a bit when I spotted the hammock in a shady nook under some trees. So I went over and sat down. Babies love to rock, right? Then I leaned back to relax and....WHAM! I flipped upside down and landed on my head on a soft pile of mulch. My legs were still slung over the hammock, my skirt was flipped up around my waist and I was powerless to correct the mortifying circumstances because I was clutching a baby.

There is NOTHING like hanging upside down with a baby in your arms and a skirt over your head to make you decide quickly what your priorities are.

I did a similar thing, minus the baby, in grade 6 high jump. I think I may have avoided skirts the rest of the year.
