Birthday Sagginess

Jan 29 2007 --
"Have you tried the pencil test?"
I had been talking to my coworker, Julia about my birthday coming up, and it was making be feel a bit old. I said something about getting wrinkly and saggy, and she asked me about pencils. I looked at her blankly. "You put a pencil in the crease under your boob, and see if it stays."
"What?" I protested. "That has way more to do with boob size than boob sagginess."
"Fine. Then you'll never know if you're saggy."
I glared at her, but somehow, ten minutes later, we were standing in the women's restroom holding a box of yellow #2's. I paused for a moment, wondering if I was actually going to get half-naked in the company restroom, to gauge my boob sagginess using a writing utensil. What if someone else walked in while we were conducting our experiment?
It took a couple minutes for me to pull myself together, but I got the pencil in the crease. Before letting go I looked to Julia for support. Tacitly, my fearful eyes let her know that I was afraid, and her silent nod reassured me that we would always be friends, saggy or not.
I took a deep breath, and let go.
The pencil fell.
Woohoo! I did a little dance around the bathroom, gave Julia a look for challenging me in the first place, and thanked my breasts for their cooperation. I put my clothes back on, and exited the bathroom triumphantly.
A guy standing in the hallway turned to see what all the excitement was about.
"Uh, her boobs are perky," Julia said after a moment's hesitation. With a smirk, she pulled a pencil out of her pocket and handed it to him. "Here, try the pencil test."

Next time you write the words "I paused for a moment, wondering if I was actually going to get half-naked in the company restroom," please have it end with girls making out. Thank you.

guess it is REALLY time for reflective pause when the GUY finds the pencil sticks under his breasts ...
[not something I have to worry about.]
