String cheese

I finally got around to watching "Closer" this weekend.

After finishing it, all I could think was "What in the HELL?"

Then? I thought about my vagina.

There's a scene where this dude, who is Julia Robert's character's husband goes to a strip club and ends up in a private room with Natalie Portman's character. At one point, he asks her to um, "spread em and show him."

For some reason, I flashed back to the last time I "spread 'em" for Tony to have a look down there.

It's not what you're thinking, people.

Not even close.

A few days after I had given birth to Gabby, I was taking a shower. Whilst cleaning myself down there, I felt an extremely sharp pain. Then? I felt what I believed to be a string of some sort.

HOLY CRAP. "I ripped my stitches out! I'm going to rip open!" That's what I thought.

I almost fainted. I screamed for Tony.

He came running. I told him I needed him to "check something" for me.

I got out of the shower, sat down on the bed, spread the legs as far as they would go. "Baby, I think I pulled a stitch down there. Can you check for me? Do you see anything? Am I bleeding?"

Then, HE almost fainted. I swear, I'll never forget the look on his face and HOW WHITE HE TURNED.

He found the string. "Oh yeah, baby, there's a string there. But... it's... well..."

"Oh my God! Is my twat going to bust open? CUT IT OFF!" I was hysterical.

I can only imagine that he had to be thinking of "the good ol' days" where him being between my legs did not involved searching for tears in my twat.

He grabbed a pair of nail clippers, because I FORBADE him to use scissors anywhere near my vagina, and he proceeded to carefully snip the string.

How this man still wants to have sex with me, I'll never understand.

I've pooped into the loving hands of a nurse in front of him.

He's seen me sneeze, pisse and puke myself. ALL AT THE SAME TIME

He's had to go to the store to buy me medicine for YEAST INFECTIONS.

He's heard me talk about vaginal discharge.

AND? On top of all of that? He's lovingly clipped STITCH STRING FROM MY VAGINA.

And he still W-A-N-T-S to "hit it."

If that aint love, I don't know what is.

It's because you make things like this sound so... hott.

I have wondered almost the same things about my husband. Less the string. It must be love.

ya, good thing I'm not a guy. Don't know if I could "hit it" after that.

Dude. I totally didn't need to hear this story right now. *cringe*

LMAO...I love you woman! Your husband reminds me of my husband. Only the good ones will put up with the stuff we throw at them like that.

Y, know why I LOVE YOUR BLOG? Cause you don't give a fuck about what you say. Thats why. I love it. See journals on paper are just for that purpose, but most people that blog are so careful to not offend their readers and you really couldn't give a shit less. I love it. Keep it up. Plus this story was funny, not gross. Lol.

OMG, I literally cannot stop laughing. That never happens when I'm just reading. And your husband? He deserves a fucking medal. ;^)

Posted by: Beth at May 23, 2005 01:30 PM

That man loves you. He must. I couldn't even get my husband to GLANCE at the cooter once a baby had come tearing through.

Nothing says love like explosive diarrhea and vagina stitch removal.

I hated that movie.

Posted by: debutaunt at May 24, 2005 09:07 AM

I watched that movie this weekend, too. Hated it. But I so didn't turn it off at the end with the same thought-bubbles you did... ;-p Of course, my post-birth stitches were abdominal. ;-)

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
