What to tell the kids

I have a crew of kids ages 10 and down and having to wear Brava for 10+ hours per day they are sure to see me in it at some point, I don't have a clue on what to tell them. I'm only a 36 B and I got the wide-large domes and they are HUGE. Anyone have kids that you have told what that HUGE thing on your chest is?

I was thinking the same RE my parents...it'll look weird enough that I walk around with it it indoors but then to take it off when I go out?! Dunno if I can hang a towel round my shoulders or something? Could you say it was something to help you breathe like an asthma pump....it will be difficult as they'll also see your increased boob size if you have a good result.

Get a blond wig and start doing Kareoke to Dolly Parton songs. HEHE rofl. That is a tough one. Try the truth? Or hide in your bedroom after they go to sleep and wear it. Hard enough wearing it when your single.

I told my kids it was for my posture and to help replace fat lost in my chest after pregnancy and child birth. Older child wanted to look at all the "parts" in the box. Both said "weird" and then ignored it after a few days. I wore it with husband's extra-large T-shirt over top.

I said as little as possible to my kids- almost 10/girl and 8/boy. The first day I wore it after they were in bed, I locked myself in my room and put the system on. Then, the "mom" calls started and I had to open my door. "What's that?", she asked. Since I had hoped to never have to answer that question, I was not prepared and said, "Mommy wants her clothes fit better and this will help." "Oh", she said. And that is the only response I've ever had to give after this 11 weeks to any child who has asked.
My mom, sister, friends and neighbors however... get a good laugh every time they reflect on their first vision of "Dolly". I tell them, "It's my job to provide sunlight and laughter to all the would-be depressed or gloomy individuals in my life!"... And all with a simple glimpse of "Dolly".
About 2 weeks ago, I decided a visit to one neighbor was overdue. She lives alone and is terminal with diabetes complications. It was time for cheering up! I donned my "costume" and walked through her front door. She was stunned. (I just love that first look - SHOCK!) I walked closer and knocked on them, she bust up laughing. Weeks later, she says she still laughs out loud at the thought of "Dolly". Laughter IS great medicine. And I'm glad to help.
All that being said, there are many in my life that I haven't yet shared my secret with. However, if they are having a bad day... there I'll be to help in only a way that I can.
Incidentally, my mom just called and said another friend has had poor results back after kemo. Mom wants to know if "Dolly" is willing to go with her for a visit? Boy, I sure hope the Lord has more in store for me than this. (Just slightly humiliating, ya know?) But, it's for a good cause. Off I go!

Thank god we are having a cold, wet summer. I try to stay in my room but if I have to go down to the bathroom I dress up in warm clothes with a blanket round my shoulders or take a bath towel with me bunched together and held in front. My dad's not very inquisitive and I think mum may have snooped in my room but at least they haven't asked any questions to my face! Hope my husband doesn't laugh too hard when he comes back from abroad!
