Whoops!

Company's Coming!
You do your best to hide the evidence from outside eyes.

Toys are put away...
Clothespins returned to the laundry bag...
Ropes hung innocently from hooks in the basement...
Spreader bars tucked into closets or disguised as artsy curtain rods…

Accoutrements gathered and stashed out of sight -- check!
*phew* -- safe!

Or Are You????


I live alone. When you live alone, you quickly come to expect that if there is another person in the room and they are talking, they must be talking to YOU.

This company? Includes a dog.
People talk to dogs...

So you can hide the paraphernalia 'til you're blue in the face -- but if you can't stop your mouth from uttering it's instinctinve response to the words, "Shall I take you outside and tie you up?" -- you're still busted.
Totally and completely busted.

just sayin'...
*insert casual whistle here*

T-
tough shot, tho', to catch both sets of goggling eyes at once...
;-)

gg-
well, you attempt to pass it off as intentional humor. Which *might* work, if the person hasn't seen your goggling eyes...
*cough*

H-
My sentiments, exactly.

PoPe-
The good news is, no one is ever quite sure what's going to come out of my mouth, so there's always a tiny element of doubt... IF... (see above, goggling eyes)
