The hard part for me is taking on and off my pants. I have a confession, I don’t wear underwear with my work-out pants – it shows panty lines. So, I try to change pants in a quick two step motion with my underwear pre-positioned in my jeans so as not to have to move to a three-step pattern.

Today was no different. As I returned from my workout, I had my pants in ready position. Down went the gym shorts and up went my pants. However, during this two-second process, I noticed that my underwear was not in its proper position. In a split second, I had to consider whether to stop and try to find my underwear or continue on my course. I came to a quick conclusion and slid my pants on without wasting a second.

Throughout this ordeal, the aerobics teacher whose class I barely survived was asking me questions about my impression of her workout routine. I was trying to answer her questions casually while searching for my underwear. I finally gave up and walked with her towards the exit.

She was encouraging me to do some at-home exercises to be better prepared for her next class when she exclaimed,

“You’ve got something on you shoe.”

I looked down and to my horror, there were my panties barely hanging onto the heel of my shoe. My underwear had been lost and undetected in the leg of my pants. It had made its escape as I was walking. With lightening speed, I retrieved them and stated, “It’s my gym sock.”

I think she knew I was lying.
