Oops!

My alarm went off a few minutes ago to wake me up. Of course the first thing I did was get out of bed and walk across the hall to the bathroom to turn it off. I keep my alarm there hoping I'll wake up a little by actually getting out of bed and be less likely to hit snooze. I usually sleep naked, especially on warm nights like we had last night, so I had nothing on when I went to turn off my alarm.

Here's the oops part: my son was in the bathroom waiting to be a nice little guy and turn it off for me. His bedroom is downstairs and I'm usually a light enough sleeper that I hear him if he comes upstairs. Even when he's quiet enough to stalk a zebra. I didn't hear him this time though. Either he got quieter or I fell back asleep really hard (I hit snooze the first time my alarm went off).

The alarm buzzed, I got up to turn it off, stepped nakedly into the hallway, then jumped and eeked a quietish eek when I realized he was standing there. I knew it'd totally gross him out to see his mother naked, or nakey as they say on the Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats, so I apologized a few squeaky sorries as I ran back to get my robe. He had turned his back and didn't turn back around until I said it was okay and I was wearing my robe.

He's ten and he hates the idea of boys liking girls in "that" kind of way. I've probably just lessened my chances of him ever getting married and giving me grandchildren. Rats!
