What's fair is fair, so I granted Alexis' wish to play at the playground after an impromptu photo shoot with both of the girls. The second I said "yes," Alexis ran for the open field and began to do cartwheels and back handsprings.
Mila isn't quite as good at self-entertaining. There wasn't a swing near enough for me to push the Tiny Human while monitoring the Big Kid, so I decided to set the little one in the grass for a moment while I tried to figure out an alternate plan for entertaining her. It took Miss Mila less than a second to determine that the best plan was for her to go up. I morphed into a jungle gym as she grabbed my leg and pulled herself to a stand. Then she ducked her little head under my skirt so she could get a better grip on my leg. And then. THEN.
Then she did a little number that could best be referred to as jazz hands.
Dear Sir who saw far more than he wanted to see -- I'm sorry. At least my underwear were clean, though! We've got that much going for us all!
(Whoops.)
The best part of the whole little fiasco was that Mila thought it was HILARIOUS. From that day forward, she has sought out opportunities to be the wind beneath my skirt. Whether I'm wearing a long maxi dress or a knee-length skirt, she is there to lift it up and out and do what she can to flip it over my head.
So that's fun.
The best thing that has come of The Skirt Situation is that I have discovered Jockey® Skimmies® Slipshort. They're essentially a super lightweight slipshort that covers up all of the things that Mila keeps trying to show off. They also help keep skirts flowy while minimizing the joy that is underwear lines. They're basically little shorts that can't be detected unless Mila decides to show them to the world.
Which she does.
Often.
They're a super thin layer of protection, not a tight spandex-type thing. Which is good, by the way. If I ever want to squeeze a few pounds away through the use of undergarments, I'll go a different direction. These are more comfortable. No deception, no super warm layers, strictly coverage. They're just right, really.
It's a good thing I've been Saved by Skimmies because I'm relatively certain Mila isn't going to stop using me as a jungle gym any time soon. How would you like to be #SavedbySkimmies? Answer in the comments for a chance to win a $100 Jockey.com gift card.
