My friend here on UMD thinks a have a creative imagination- I have shared one story with you already- and I have another one to add for you today.
As it turned out I lost a bet to my UMD friend and I went over to her house to pay up. She looked positively mouthwatering in a grey crew neck cardigan sweater, black leather pants (!!!) ans sandals. I could also see her favorite ankle bracelet and a toe ring, too- WOW!
I said to her, "Okay, let me pay you. How nuch do I owe you?"
"I don't want your money," she said to me. she jerked a thumb over by her car and said, "That's how you repay me." Her car- usually pristine- was covered in mud.
"Some crumb bum (My homage to the old saloonkeeper and restauranter Totts Shor- LOL) splashed mud all over my car from hitting a mud puddle! I want you to wash my car."
Well, I hadn't washed a car by hand in thirty years, but a deal is a deal. "Okay," I said.
"Here's the hose, and there's a bucket of soapy water all set for you," she says. "there's more soap here, too. I'll be inside- let me know when you're finished."
Well, I started by hosing the car down first- I at least remembered to do that, so it would be easier to get the mud off of it. I went to work, and it had to take me an hour to get it clean the way I thought she would like it.
I walked inside, and said to her, "I think I'm done."
She looked over the car, and said, "You did a pretty good job, but I see a couple of spots that you missed."
"Where?" I said. Oh, I nearly broke my back getting it clean.
"There's a spot right over by the left front wheel well," she said. I didn't see it, but I dipped the sponge back in the bucket soaped up the wheel well, and she said, "I'll hose it down for you," as she took the hose, sprayed the soap off, then sprayed me with the hose, soaking my golf shirt.
Before I could get a chance to say anything, she says, "Oh, there's another spot over by the back of the door." Well, I take the sponge, soap up the area, and she goes and takes the hose and sprays it off, then sprays the hose all over my jeans. I really didn't mind- it was starting to get out outside- but I was starting to get upset, mainly because she started laughing.
Then I decided to take some initiative. "You know, it looks like I did miss another spot. I didn't see it until now.
"Where?" she says.
"Right up on the center of the roof by the winshield," I said. "Here, let me show you."
I picked her up in my arms, placed her on the hood of the car, and said, "There it is," as I showed her a spot almost in the center of the winshield.
"I don't see it," she said, but I think she realized she was about to get a taste of her own medicine. "Let me take my sweater off," she said. "It's a favorite of mine."
She takes off her sweater, and what should she be wearing but a white t-shirt with the phrase "Slippery When Wet."
She takes her t-shirt, ties it under her breasts, and what should I see but her favorite belly button jewelry, along with a waist chain! Ooh, la la! (LOL)
She takes the sponge, scrubs the (imaginary) dirt off the roof, and she says, "Ok, hose it down, as she moves away from the spot. I hose it down, then turn the hose on her, and what should she be wearing under her t-shirt but a black bra!!!! "Ooh, you imp!" I say to her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I missed another spot," I say, as I produce a bottle of shampoo.
"Where?" she said, and I point to her hair, as I give her a luxurious shampoo, her hair eventually sticking up on top of her head like a unicorn (LOL) "oh, and I missed another spot, too!" I said,
"Where?" she said. "I'm almost afraid to ask."
"I missed a couple of other spots," I said, as I soaped up her t-shirt, then her leather pants. I take the hose and hose her down thoroughly, as she is sopping wet from head to toe. She slicks her hair bacx, then gets back at me, turning the hose on me.
"I think we're done here," she says. "Me, too, " I laugh, as we give each other a wet hug.
"I think if you would like to take me out to dinner, that should settle our bet," she said. "Did you bring a change of clothes with you?"
"Actually, I did."
She let me use her shower, and said, "Toss your clothes in the dryer. They'll be ready when we get back."
She gives me a hug and said, "That was fun."
I said, "and I'd always be happy to lose a bet to you."
So, I not only lost, but won, too- big."
