My Monday Muse!

I bet most people have something about their body they wish was different.  Those smaller, that bigger, you know what I mean. Some put up with their imperfectioins whilst others spend fortunes on modifications.

Me? I’d like a more rotund backside, you know, a bigger bum!

Why I hear you ask. Well I’m a clumsy so-and-so and I’m forever slipping, sliding and landing on my derriere. 

This week alone it’s happened twice. Once on a boardwalk festooned with wet slippery leaves, then a couple of hours ago when I walked down the back alley in the snow. Don’t laugh it’s not funny, how would you like it?

Why am I telling you this you ask. Well, I  have tried on the odd occassion sticking a cushion down the back of my trousers but it’s not that practical, so now I’m in the process of  inventing padded underwear for those who, like me, suffer from this unfortunate problem. Once in production I’m sure they’ll hit ground running!

Thinking ahead there’s even the possibility of creating some with built in springs that’ll shoot you upright again after you land! I’ll keep you informed about how things are going, and eventually, where you can buy yourself a pair or two!

    I have always been a ‘hippy’ girl. I have sufficient padding back there which is why when I suffered a bad fall 20 years ago, I survived. The doctor was shaking his head and I just said ‘padding’.

    So funny as I was discussing the sad lack of derrière on most men. I think you have a good idea there 😉
    How you came to it from these pis… that is another thing! Though both look to be slipper so there is that!

      You’r right, most of us do seem to have boney backsides! As for the story, I have absolutely no idea where it appeared from – nothing unusual for me!

        Hahaha! You just keep on letting your muse go where she will 😉

    Seems I remember seeing a while back, undies for ladies with padding built in. This was way back when actually having a shape was popular. You might check flea markets or some other gently used clothing store! (wink)
    Seriously, I hear ya. I weigh 112, so not a whole lot of cushioning either.

      Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check some out to keep me safe until my inventions are in production!

    Oh Keith you had me laughing out loud with this I could just visualise the slips I know you shouldn’t laugh when someone slips on snow or ice but I just can’t help myself. Love you new inventions – PS don’t get mixed up and stuff a cushion down the front of your trousers.., you could get into some trouble 😜😃

      Now you’ve got me laughing out loud you naughty thing!

    What a brilliant idea Keith. You’ll become rich overnight. Now just get it on the market before someone steals this idea. Thanks for joining in.

    You are too funny! I would buy those padded undies At this stage of my life, I can’t afford to break another thing! 😂

      I should think not, you don’t want any more bandages!

    So witty, Keith! 😄 And this feature would be especially helpful:
    “creating some with built in springs that’ll shoot you upright again after you land” 👌

    Yep, someone needs to invent this, old bones don’t knit as fast and to be able to bounce up unhurt would be a great thing.

    LOL. Keith you are awesome. I think ‘“creating some with built in springs that’ll shoot you upright again after you land” 👌

    A cute lil tale, Keith. I had a chuckle about the cushioning a bigger bum would provide.
    A very imaginative write.
