I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this.

I once 'hid' a Christmas present. My DH and I looked and looked for it but could never find it. It was a little VW car for our then little boy; just a metal toy.

He is going to be 41 this month and I still puzzle over that one

I remember the other thing I did and it wasn't funny. I left my billford on the counter at Walgreen's and the cashier caught me as I was walking off. Then my next stop, I left it on the counter again and another cashier told me. I couldn't believe I did it twice in about 30 minutes. I guess that's why I forgot because it was scary.

Tootsie,

Are you sure that little one didn't fine it and hid it somewhere else. LOL

So I'm taking one of my sons tempuratures with a digital thermometer.

I check it and sy outloud, "8.66? Stupid metric system!!!"

My Mom looks at and says, "It's upside down, dopey!"

I used to sing alot of solos in church.

Well, at the last minute I decided that I should wear a girdle under the form-fitting dressing (clingy material too) I was wearing. I put it on last minute...over pantyhose.

I'd got to the bathroom prior to church beginning. Well, we all stood to sing a chorus (at our seats) and I got a tap on the shoulder.

My dress (back then dresses below the knee were the style) was pulled all the way up in the back and tucked up under the girdle! To top it off, the row behind me were young men, so it was one of them that thankfully told me!

It wasn't a moment too soon, because not two minutes later, I was "announced". Whew!

I've never worn a girdle since...lol.

Becky....You made me think of the time I drove off and wondered why all these people were waving at me wildly. Amazingly, when I pulled over I saw my purse sitting on top of my car.

I consider that one a 'miracle'.

Maybe I should change my name to 'Bubblehead' or 'Forgetful one'?

Tootsie,

OH MY Gosh!!! I haven't done that yet. I'm glad you got your purse before it fell into the street.

I saw a neighbor do it once and couldn't get her attention before she drove off. When I saw her later, she said drivers were honking and waving at her and it scared her until she relalized what they were trying to tell her. Thank heavens she didn't lose her purse. She didn't have MS so I don't know what her excuse was other than she had two little bitty kids. That would do it!

Becky, it is scary to be so addled! I can't believe I did that either! I've known of others to do it though so I'm not alone.

One time my DH and I headed to the post office to mail a package. When we got there we couldn't find it and figured we'd forgotten it! So back home we went.

As we drove along the same road; just going the other way, I shouted 'oh my god, stop'!. DH pulled over, I opened the door and leapt out.

There was our package neatly sitting in front of a road sign. Some good samaritan apparently found it lying in the road and figured we'd look for it.

Amazing. Apparently we'd both managed to leave it on top of the car!

Must be something in the air.

We live in a small rural community with some very down to earth, kind folks. Where else could this happen

I love these....so funny! I always say there is nothing that happens in life that you can't make a good story out of.

I have way too many embarrassing moments to put down much less remember. Actually, they are much more embarrassing to my grown daughter than to me, I'm used to it!

Yesterday my daughter & I with my grandson were out to lunch. This precious little old lady & her nurse came up to us to say how pretty the baby was. She kept patting me on the back & smiling. Her nurse was with her & here's what I thought she said, "excuse us but she's 93". I responded, "that's awesome, she's so sweet". After they left my daughter was shaking her head & said do you realize what you just said? I'm like, yeah...why? Turns out the nurse said, "excuse her, she has dementia". Ooops.......I guess you don't say awesome for that! I looked at my daughter & said well, she's still cute!

Tootsie,

That's a good one!

I'm glad you found your package by an honest person.

Now, who left the package on top of the car?? You or DH?? LOL I bet is was your DH!
