M almost stepped on the brakes out of shock when I announced that I forgot something. Today is Pristine’s first day of swimming classes. Swimming is something so big for her. She looked forward to this day for the past 600 years (kidding), laying her bathing suits in the bed, talking to herself, pointing to each one saying, this will be for this week, that for the next, etc.

Now, the lovely suit, towels, pair of googles and sunscreen lotion is left on the sofa. I forgot to let her take it on her way out to get on the bus! I am sure if the teacher says she couldn’t swim naked, her scream will reach my office.

This kind of situation would usually make my husband go ballistic, monstrous and all nasty things you can think of. But I guess he was too sleepy (he came home at 2 am last night because of work) that he plainly said he’ll return home after dropping me in my office and take the swimming kit to her school.

Whew.
