Upon arriving the proceeded to show me the new rope swing that had been fashioned under a large oak tree and my youngest tries putting his entire body inside the tied loop at the bottom. I then try to explain to him, this is not how to use this swing. He wasn't getting what I was trying to explain so I decided to show him. Bad move. No one bothered to let me know that the swing had been placed there by a 12 year old and was not suitable for anyone over 80 pounds. I put my foot inside the swing and began lift off.....it was short lived. The branch immediately broke and I came crashing down on my back. Now covered in dirt, pants ripped and with the wind knocked out of me, I had to get up and act like I wasn't hurt in front of my kids, who were hyperventilating from laughing so hard at me in between short bursts of concern. I did not have time to go home and change before said meeting so I ended up having to attend looking like I had slept outside in the woods in my suit the night before said meeting. To add insult to injury, literally, the CEO of our company attended this particular meeting and it was the first time we met.
To my surprise, he was a very down to earth guy with a soft spot for kids and gave me props for doing what I did with and for my kids. This gave us something to build report off of and quickly became close. He told this story every single time he introduced me to anyone.

Oh thank coffee!!
This is epic! Well done, swinger Judy!
That's just so epic, the moment you know you've fucked up, but " I'll just own up to it.."
I can't believe the mess I made, but it's hilarious that a mild dressing disaster ends up to a morning after question of " what did you do?"
" Well honey, I tried to be quiet so wouldn't wake you up, but it seems clothes are very uncooperative these days. Then I immediately asked for help and I absolutely would not get beaten up by a bra."
I should've used that one. The kids and the hubby now make fun of me.
