As if bloomers do anything anyway

You'd think, if I remembered to pack up all of our clothes and stuffed animals, the DVD player and some videos, everyone's favorite animals, necessary medicines, entertaining books, and three different kinds of snacks for a simple night away, that I would also remember the pile of clothes that we needed to put on after swim class. The one that I gathered first thing and set by the door. After all, I've been going to swim class with one of the kids for almost three years. Right. Instead, I wound up at swim class with a pair of bloomers. Not much you can do with a pair of bloomers, really.
