This time around, I chose to remain in my shorts and t-shirt. The water is DAMN cold and my kids are old enough to run and play while checking in with me from time to time.
This gave me ample time (key word here is AMPLE!) to view some of the sad fashion statements that people chose to make when it came to their swimwear. Too many seemed to subcribe to the let-it-all-hang-out philosophy. Perhaps they just didn't care. But in many cases, one question kept popping into my head...
Are there NO MIRRORS in your house??? Now the guy to the left with the do-lap (that's what Mr. Flossy calls it, because his belly "do lap over his wasteband...") is somewhat forgiven because he's a guy and they all think they're gods, especially when they are undressed. But the girl??? Did she honestly think a two-piece bikini was the way to go? Did she pick it out from her drawer, try it on and say to herself, "Damn, I'm hot!"????
God knows I am no bathing beauty. But when I DO venture to the beach/pool/water park, I try to be considerate of others and keep the flab covered...
Remember this summer season: Friends don't let fat friends wear bikinis!
