It was early morning and I was woken up by the sounds of my toddler throwing up in his bed. I was scrambling to wrangle the very upset toddler, clean up his sheets, and get my older kid dressed and packed up for school when the dog signalled that he needed to be let out.
I let him out into our fenced in front yard, then heard some banging and screaming going on between the two kids. I went to go break up the fight and left the door cracked so the dog could get back in when he was done since it was cold out.
A few minutes later, I returned to shut the door, only to discover my well meaning neighbor, a sweet old lady from a few doors down, had noticed the open door and had come up the steps to shut it at the same time.
The problem is that in the chaos of the morning, I had not yet had time to get myself dressed and was in nothing but an old pair of tighty whities because I am also behind on laundry.
In my shock, all I could muster to get out was "Thank you! Sorry!"
Luckily we are moving in a few weeks because I can no longer look my neighbor in the eye.
TL;DR: Chaotic morning leads to neighbor seeing me in not the most flattering underwear.
