Workin' Topless
So, Adam Jury works topless (at home), and sent me a photo from his webcam. After recovering from the shock of seeing skin even whiter than mine, I was reminded of the last time I worked topless.
No, it did not involve a pole.
Back in my twenties, I was Nanny to Jerry from the time he was five months, 'til he was three and a half. And I only quit because the Practice Husband and I had bought a house, and I needed more income. To support his José Cuervo habit.
Anyhoo, on one of Jerry's rough days, I had more spit-up and snot on me than I was entirely comfortable with. With a kid, you gotta have some tolerance for puke/snot/poop, but I have my limits. So I took off my shirt, threw it in the wash, and walked around for the next couple hours in my bra. (Probably a Victoria's Secret Miracle Bra -- I was way into them at the time.)
Now, I could have borrowed a t-shirt, and I'm sure Jerry's folks wouldn't have cared. But I just felt weird about rooting around in their dresser drawers. God forbid I find something I didn't want to think about! They're pastors!!!
Anyhoo, some months later, Jerry started putting words together to form sentences. You know, like "Daddy bye-bye," and "More cookie!" And one of his first sentences was "Nanny hot!"
Swear. To. God.
Oh, how I love that kid.
I'm sure he's gonna be all kinds of messed up when puberty comes along.

Yet, what wonderful self-esteem builders children can be...
