Flashing lights

Okay, so I don’t do this all the time, but yesterday I was in a hurry.  What woman hasn’t tried to change her clothes while driving?  Some women put on make up while driving, some talk on cell phones, some smoke, so why not change my clothes?  So there I am, driving down the road at about 45mph.  One shirt was pulled up around my neck (in ready position) and I had just begun to pull the other shirt over to provide the cover-up-slide-through when I saw the blue flashing lights behind me.  I was petrified.  This was it, my desire to save a couple of minutes by changing my clothes on the road was going to get me a ticket.  My husband would be so mad.  As I slowed down to pull over, I kept trying to think of a way to pull my clothes down.  Panic was beginning to set in as I was trying to come up with some good excuse, but I had nothing.  Why wasn’t he out chasing bad guys, or pulling over some crazy person driving 100mph.  As the cop car with it’s flashing blue lights sailed on past me, I was so relieved.  Now I could finish getting dressed and still not be late!  In after thought, I know getting dressed while driving is not the smartest thing to do, but women are very good at multi-tasking, right?
