HOW EMBARRASSING

I was sitting out on our back porch enjoying our swing and enjoying some quiet time while most of the kids napped when I had the pleasant surprise of a visit from one of my neighbors. I had spoken to her only on one other occasion. I have been happy for the chance to be able to talk with her and I plan to invite her to an upcoming family revival as I have one other neighbor. Anyway, she came up our back yard hill with her adorable little 6mo old and I invited her to have a seat on one of the patio chairs. We had a nice chat for about 30-40min when all the sudden I noticed this puddle under her seat...and the chair was still dripping! We were quite involved in our conversation and she seemed undisturbed...but here I had invited her to sit in a chair still soaked from the previous nights rain!! The very same thing happened to my Mother in Love when they came to visit...except her seat was not soaked. How embarrassing...I wonder why she did not say anything!? I will take better care next time to be a better hostess.

Let's just say we were both thankful it wasn't a puddle from "something else" :)

That was going to be my comment, Heather!! I was going to say hmmm... maybe she didn't know you well enough yet to ask to use the restroom. You know as well as anyone how it is after you have a baby!! :)
Were you guys just CRACKIN' up or what??? I would've thought it to be hilarious!! If I was you OR her!!

No, it was a little uncomfortable, but amazingly she was only slightly damp...not a wet spot or anything noticeable...so all the "wet" must have been right at the bottom of the cushion so when she sat down it just sort of "squeezed" out without "surfacing" on her bottom? You know,..I have no idea. Maybe the Lord intervened so she wouldn't hate me and she will come to church LOL
