This is canon to Family Matters.

>"Woo!"
> Lynn and Lacy pounded through the door and into their living room.
> "Oh yeah!" They'd just finished their usual 5 A.M 3 mile run, and Lynn was, as expected, still pumped.
> "Feels great, huh Lacy?" Lynn asked her panting daughter as she stretched her legs.
> Man, runs were made of a lot of good feelings: The wind in your face, the exhilaration, and the satisfaction of self improvement were the best parts of it.
> Drinking a lot of water was also a part of it, as Lacy was painfully aware.
> "Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee!" The girl practically hopped down the hallway to the bathroom.
> "Don't forget to stretch!" Lynn called after her daughter.
> Standing there in her living room, Lynn pulled her exercise top off her sweaty, muscular, torso and breathed great mouthfuls of air as cool air blissfully washed over her.
> She didn't mind being indecent in the confines of her own home; it was just her and Lacy, two girls.
> Spending most of her teenage years in locker rooms had given Lynn a weak sense of decency, at least around other girls.
> Lacy still had one and was the kind to close and lock doors even if she was home alone.
> It was a shame, since the bathroom was right across from her bedroom; she could've saved her mom from embarrassment.
> What Lynn had forgotten in her morning rush of adrenaline and self-satisfaction was one tiny important detail:
> They had guests at the apartment.
> Lynn had taken her sister's offer to let her kids visit.
> She'd been excited to meet them again after so many years, although she'd been disappointed with how out of shape they were.
> They'd arrived last night and had slept in Lacy's room.
> Lynn had totally forgot about them when she woke Lacy up for their run.
> Lacy hadn't reminded her mother because she wanted to spare them. She knew what her mother did, but with her bladder on her mind getting home, she'd forgotten to remind her.
> And the effect was a 13 year old Lyra loud walking into the living room in her pajamas to discover her aunt topless and doing elaborate stretches.
> There was an extremely awkward moment of silence.
> Lyra had just met this woman and was seeing a lot more of her then she liked. And Lynn's tired mind was trying to remember who this girl in her apartment was.
> Then 7 year old Lemy appeared behind his sister, rubbing sleep from his eyes, and caught sight of Lynn frozen mid stretch.
> Compared to his sister's face of disgust, his eyes were wide with wonder.
> "Jesus!" That snapped Lynn out of it. She quickly covered her chest and retreated into the kitchen.
> Lyra gasped and covered her brothers eyes before dragging him back to the bedroom, where they stayed for the rest of the morning till Lacy talked them out of it.
> She'd convinced them it was just an accident.
> To Lynn's relief, she hadn't completely blown it with her niece and nephew.
> She still had to explain to Lyra though that she was, not in fact, a nudist.
