A Tight Situation

  Sometimes funny memories are the best special way to remember a beloved lover.It helps take away some of the feeling of loss.Before he passed away, my husband loved to share this story with our friends.Now, it makes a smile to share this story with you.

  Our neighbor's son was getting married in 1971 at a church, and we were invited.We immediately rushed out for the store, and I bought a nice dress with a jacket.The dress was a little tight, but I had a month before the June 30- wedding and I would lose a few pounds.

  June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two.But, I thought a new girdle(健美裤)would solve my problem.So on our way to the wedding, we stopped once again at the store.I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle.

  The clerk found the box with the described girdle, marked “L”, and asked if I would like to try it on.“Oh, no, large will fit just right.I won't need to try it on.”

  The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go.I opened the girdle box only to find a new $ 49.95 girdle in a size small.Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle.Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag?Finally, my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go.

  As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it.Now, he was getting worried because I was breathing funny.I told him that I would.It lasted one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half seconds, and the minister blessed everything except my girdle!

  My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling.My husband was asking questions and trying to comfort me.

  As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband.“Please, just get me out of here!” I said.

  We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next car.Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle.When the girdle flew out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove away.

  Over the years, he and I had wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning when they found$49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot.
