The Bare truth

Susan was our 4th child and a very, very tiny little 2 year old.  With my brood of 5 children, I did things in unison to save time.  I always took my children to church on Sunday. I finished dressing them after a morning bath by standing or sitting on the sofa for later inspection.

One Sunday morning in particular we were a little late and the dressing was done more quickly than before. I did a quick double take of the 5 cherubs all lined up and standing at attention in front of the living room sofa with their faces shining brightly and freshly combed hair. Any mother would have been proud of them.

All seeming went well and we made it to Sunday School on time. The children were all well behaved and knew where to go to their classes, even Susan.

She was so tiny she had to crawl up the stairs which was directly in front of the pews.  

All went well until class was over and I just happened to look toward the front where Susan was climbing down those stairs backwards and what do you think I saw ? The shiniest little bare bottom you could imagine !

I ran up to her grabbed her hand with a baby in my arms and 3 other children running after me and made a quick escape out the door to my car.

You can bet that I looked under those little dresses after that incident.
