The most embarrassing thing about shaving is forgeting to shave a certain body part. As a girl, I've learned that we must yank out every visible hair from our bodies in order to please the opposite sex.
Yesterday morning I took a shower. In my usual routine, I lathered up and took a blade to my legs. I start at the bottom and work my way up. All the way up. I run my fingers along my calves, my thighs, my pelvic; just to be sure every trace of hair is gone.
After I dressed, I went to my parent's house. My mother was outside washing her car. I grabbed a fresh towel and helped her dry it. As we worked our way around the car, I kept catching her staring at my feet.
I asked, "What?"
Her concerned look turned into a smirk.

"You know," she said, "it's pretty bad when you forget to shave your toes."

Embarrassed, I replied, "It's pretty bad when you have to shave your toes."
