Memory Lane - oops!

So it was my birthday earlier in the week and I was despondent and lonely and felt like a failure because basically I feel I have had a shitty year (starting on January 2nd when my husband of almost 4 years, partner of 7 and father of my son left me for another woman) but today I thought hey you miserable moaning cow pull yourself together you have to take something good apart from your son from this ultimately unhealthy relationship so I started a little trip down memory lane and thought what better to make me feel good than to post one of my favorite memories on here for you my audience of nil to share with me.
.
It was a rather warm sunny afternoon and I'd been living at my future in-laws house for around a month. I wasn't due to go to work until 1pm so after everyone left for the morning I decided to take a leisurely bath. It was lovely, their bath was huge and I was covered neck to feet in bubbles. The bedroom I shared with my future husband was directly beside the main bathroom which I was in and so when I heard the television switch on I thought that it was odd but not unheard of for my fella to be home from work so early.
.
Slinking out of the bath and wrapping the big fluffy white bath towel around myself (ensuring to leave a few bubbles in strategic places) I walked into our bedroom thinking I was going to get some afternoon loving and a lift to work. Bonus.
.
"Hey babe, what you doing home so early" I said as I walked in. Unfortunately it was not the then love of my life waiting for me sexily on his bed it was another situation entirely that presented itself to me. One that will be forever etched in my mind.
.
There on the edge of my fellas side of the bed was my soon to be father in-law. His gym shorts were unattractively bunched up at his ankles, his penis was being lovingly stroked in his right hand whilst his eyes were glued to the cheesy 80's porn movie he'd put in my hubby's VCR. Yes this was something I never thought I'd witness not only was I watching my y soon to be father in-law have a wank but he was also using a small vibrator to tease his balls. (Yes I managed to take all this in - I couldn't help myself it was like seeing an accident a the side of the road, i just had to look).
.
And so I hear you ask, what did you do? What did you say?
.
Well I being a woman of the world (ahem) thought to myself, lets not make an issue out of this so I simply grabbed my towel all the tighter and smiled my best please don't look freaked out smile and said "Oh I'm sorry do carry on" and promptly walked back into the bathroom.(out of curiosity why do I go extremely British when I believe I'm in a crisis situation and yes I did believe this was a crisis) I must have spent a good 30 minutes in the bathroom biting my knuckles, tears streaming down my face as I tried desperately to hold in the laughter at this rather odd situation.
.
When I finally went back in the room father in-law had gone downstairs and I got myself ready for work. Once I was done I headed down, quite unsure what to expect. Would he beg me not to tell anyone? Would he babble like a madman with excuses as to it being not what it looked like? No what he said was.......

Oops.

Ah thank you for being my first official commentor Emily I got all excited and did a little dance.

I do have to say that there was some cringing but ultimately I just couldn't seem to stop laughing - possibly a nervous reaction. I have been known to laugh at inappropriate things!
