Lesson of the day: Always use the Bra Barrette
As I was coming in to work this morning at “corporate” headquarters for the Bra Barrette, I realized the folly of my day had started early, when in my rush to get to the local coffee stand before the high schoolers decended on it, I left without my Bra Barrette on. I figured…no need to panic, I’ve got plenty of them at work, I’ll just snag one there and all will be good. HA! In the 3 minutes it took me park my car and walk into the building I managed to drop my keys 3 times, spill my coffee and nearly take out multiple walls, glass doors and my eye with the umbrella!
Now, I can admit to not being the most graceful person, but this was above and beyond my usual gracelessness. So what caused this stellar show of klutzy, bumbling, ineptitude? During those 3 minutes, my left bra strap went from shoulder to upper arm, slipping slowly off as I made an attempt to stop it with some of the classic moves – the shoulder roll, the shoulder raise, the reach through (not a reach in, I had coffee in my hand after all) and finally the mind reader. None of which worked.
The only evidence of my morning…exercise…is a small trail off coffee down my jacket and onto my pant leg. The lesson I learned: ALWAYS use the Bra Barrette!
