Life Can Be Funny

Life can be funny when one can't see, an opportunity to view things quite differently...
My daughter flew in recently from out west to visit me.
One dark, rainy day we went to the mall.
I was buying her some clothes as I recall..
We entered one store where the lighting was poor.
I browsed around as she shopped some more..
In the middle of the store was a glass display with
a variety of flowery fragrant sprays, to help women
smell good in delightful ways...
I glanced at the counter and then looked down.
I was quite puzzled at what I had found..
The thought didn't linger long in my head, so
out loud "your selling fudge" I quickly said..
The clerk laughed, "it's not fudge", so feeling
bewildered my shoulders I shrugged.
"It's bra tape" she giggled as she informed me.
Now this is some thing I might just want to see.
How does one use it for goodness sake and how
much bra tape will it take??
This world is full of surprises for little old me.
I learned some thing new at almost 73.

Delightful read, Nancy. Hmmm...I've never heard of it, but then, that's not my department either.

As long as men adore them, women will find new ways to explore them . . . . Aloha!

Ha, Nancy. How much it would take depends on how much there is to hold in place. Loved this.
