What an airhead!!

I just have to tell a funny story on myself. It's just too good to not share, so that a few of you can remind me of it for the rest of my life, like "where's the van?". I won't go into that one right now, maybe another time. (but probably not!) Anyway, I can be such an airhead sometimes. I blame it on the kids. I think I lost most of my brain cells giving birth. It's frustrating to me, because I'm not that stupid, but I just have these moments that I completely lose my mind. At least there's a funny story to share, and everyone can have a good laugh at my expense!! :)

The kids and I went to Walmart one day to get some helium balloons. We were celebrating Keith coming home at a normal time instead of going to guard after work to work some more. We were very excited to have him home, so we wanted it to feel like a party when he came home. Anyway, an employee directed me to the back, and told me to just touch the screen (next to the register) and someone would be with me shortly. We went back there, and next to the pin pad thingy was a cardboard sign with a picture of the pin pad that said to touch it for service. So, smart woman that I am, I touched the cardboard picture, that was just sitting there, not attached to anything. Avery walks over and informs me that you're actually supposed to touch the pin pad, not the cardboard picture. A light went on in my head, one that apparently has a short in it, and I realized how silly I must have looked touching the cardboard. Avery's face was priceless. I think he thought that I had finally lost it. I'm sure it's not the last time I'll see that look!! We had a good laugh about it, but it was funnier when we told Keith. I'm still shaking my head at myself, and can't believe what an airhead I am sometimes. :)

Hope everyone has a good weekend!! Even if you have an airhead moment!

Baby, don't worry about it. It is Wal-Mart's fault anyway; I mean "service"? Sometimes I feel like hitting someone over the head with a cardboard sign to get service. And, thank our merciful Lord that you had Avery!
Love ya all,
Mom
P.S. Are you watching the Derby tomorrow?

not that i'm one to talk but 'where's the van?' was years before you gave birth...

I have laughed about this a couple of times since you told me. It actually sounds like something that I would do too... :-)
