We all know that this world is corrupt in so many ways - including our own country. Did you know that your own town, your own neighborhood, your own neighbor, or even worse, your very own friend could be capable of corruption or corrupting those around her?
I spent the day at Camel Beach with great friends and wonderful children the other day. Ok, feel the excitement with me here for a minute, people, ok? We are at the top of a water slide, getting ready to race each other down to the bottom, as a group. A bunch of teenage boys behind us are eagerly awaiting their turn as they watch us with great anticipation. I am leaning over, hanging onto my mat, waiting for the lifeguard to blow the whistle when Arianna asks for help holding onto her mat so she doesn’t slide down before the race is set to begin. With my right hand I am holding onto my own mat and with my left hand and foot I reach over to steady her mat. Yes, I feel like I am playing Twister at the top of a water slide! All of the sudden, I feel a POP!!! My bikini top shoots open and the gang of 14 year old boys waiting in line let out a gasp!
I let go of Arianna’s mat and quickly try to block the “view” with one hand, while hanging on to my mat for dear life with the other hand. The last thing I need is to bounce my way down this darn slide topless! I called to the lifeguard, who was just getting ready to blow her whistle and ask her to help me. Not only did my top POP open, but the hook broke! I call for Kelly and the girls. They all pick up their mats and come running (and laughing) to help me. Kelly tied a noose around my boobs and a sweet child offered her hairband for reinforcement.
And so, I spent the rest of the day with poor circulation to my upper half and succeeded in corrupting a few innocent boys in the line behind me! Leave it to me to mess up a “G” rated family event!!!
Of course… the day I opt to stay behind, is the day I miss all the excitement
I don’t know if I should wipe away my grin and say sorry for your mishap, or point out how it’s usually me that those type of things happen to 
Memories…………………
Hehe

OMG!!!!!!!!!! Oh Jen, I can only imagine (hahaha)……..what a perfect inopportune time for such a thing to happen (hahaha). I have to say that Camelbeach, for me, is usually quite a non-eventful time (hahaha)……..you surely got the excitement that day!!!

Jen, that’s so funny!!! Your story has me beat. I lost my top once, but I was in the water. Just had to dunk down. You poor baby!! You’ll have a story to tell for years to come. And I’m sure you’ll be laughing every time. I know I will every time I think of it.

I told my husband last week that in the real world wardrobe malfunctions don’t really happen.
He had been hoping and I was trying to enlighten him. Guess I was wrong. I’m not telling him this story, though.
I always knew you were brave, in spite of what you said. You could handle anything!
