The Short Tale of the Nightgown and the Cruise Steward

Tweet

My tale is extremely short and starts on our honeymoon cruise. My new husband and I would be in such a hurry to go out on our daily cruise excursions in the ports of call that I would just leave my nightgown on the stateroom bed. The first time I did that, when we came back from our day excursion, my nightgown just happened to be in the shape of a rose. I thought that it was just a coincidence and I didn't think anything more about it. The second day, after we got back from our daily excursion, my nightgown was in the shape of an anchor. That's when it hit me that the steward had shaped my nightgown into a rose and then an anchor! I now know that it is one of the steward's jobs to do so, like putting chocolate mints on the pillows. But being a newlywed, I was kind of appalled at the thought of some strange man touching my nightgown, LOL! So from there on in, I would put my nightie into a drawer before leaving the stateroom! Nowadays I would just keep leaving the nightgown out every day and see what kind of creative shapes he would come up with! Image by Jill Wellington from Pixabay
