Our cat ran into the screen door once: my dad was going to let him outside, and opened the glass door to the backyard, and my cat ran straight into the screen! It was hilarious!

LOL!!! (yup, I'm back for now!!)
I felt pritty lame the other day when the kids in my math class started commenting on me sitting in the back of the room petting my new calculator saying "My precious!" and hissing at anyone who came near it.

(I love my new calculator!)

When we were going to move from Colorado back to CA, our neighbors came over to say goodbye, and they brough a 2 liter bottle of soda with them. We were sitting near the front door and having some of the soda, when I said "If you want the soda to bubble, just shake it." or something like that. Then I started shaking the bottle, but since the cap wasn't closed all the way, the soda started foaming out and half of the soda left went all over the cement.

Ugh!

I'm sitting at my desk trying to be professional while talking with another scientist (from the head office) and after I finish the conversation I look down and my hair is draped into my cup of coffee......It had to have been there the whole conversation...I wondered what she was smiling about

She's sooooo evil for not telling me.

Hey, this was post 123....cool

Neh. I had something similar here. I had made myself a cup of tea for some late night working. And then I had to bend over to plug the printer in the back of my laptop. When I sat down again, Iwanted to push my braid back and I wondered what was that moist I was feeling. Turns out I dipped half my braid in my tea. That was not a great day...

Still, one of my less embarrasing moments...

I bet you can laugh about it now though!

I hate it when people don't tell you there's food on your face. And good friends should tell you if your fly is down. Though some guys seem to have the policy 'I didn't see nothin and it isn't there'.

Thain Peregrin Took I · 12-01-2004, 05:31 PM

I don't think I've ever actually got my hair in a drink, but last night it almost caught on fire because as I was reaching over for a second slice of pizza, my hair went pretty close to the candle that was lit on the Advent Wreath.

I heard a good rule of thumb on these types of things

*rabbit trail - why "rule of THUMB?!" *

Anyhow - if it's fixable, then tell them. If it's not, then ignore it!

I had something funny happen while I was in the hospital after my middle son was born. I had pre-term labor and was in the hospital for 3 weeks before he was born, and I was on heavy-duty labor-stopping drugs for that time, so it took awhile before I was able to leave the hospital after he was born, and I wasn't particularly aware of things. One of the pastors at our church came by for a quick visit. I noticed he seemed a little awkward and stiff, and was looking at my eyes the whole time, instead of more natural eye movements. Right after he left, I happened to look down before moving my body, and I noticed my right boob was sticking out of the little flap that those gowns have for breast feeding!

IMO, he did the right thing - the chances were very likely that I would have moved to lie down or turn over BEFORE I happened to look down, and I would never have known!

Embarassing moments? Oh, boy. I've had more than a few of them. Probably the one that sticks most in my mind was... oh, I think it was my 11th birthday (I'm not quite sure, though). My mother didn't want the guests at my party to go upstairs in our house. So she put a little yarn strand in front of the stairs to keep people out. So, intelligent little me comes along and decides to make a 'No Tresspassing' sign for the stairway. So I pull out the construction paper and crayons and start scribbling,

"NO TRESSPASSING. All prosecutors will be violated..."

Yep, that was kind of embarassing.

Well, just recently I was thrown my first surprise party. My family invited about a million and a half people over, crammed them all into our den- which is about the size of a mouse's bathroom. And in comes Yours Truly, and "SUUUUUPRIIIIIIISE!!!!".... Whaaa?! That was weird. Pretty cool, though.

Elanor's Angel · 12-04-2004, 02:31 AM

That's Great! I mean terrible! LOL!!!

Thain Peregrin Took I · 12-06-2004, 09:44 PM

We were up visiting our Uncle (he's really our great-Uncle, but we don't call him 'great-Uncle') and we were playing a game. The question was 'Name a word that ends in -ough' and I said 'plough'. Everyone said "No, that ends in -ow." Then I answered "It's spelled p-l-o-u-g-h." Then our Uncle said "That's only if you're in Europe." And I said "Oh... right....."

Elanor's Angel · 12-06-2004, 10:13 PM

Wierd!

The other day I was at ballet and someone was proofreading somebody elce's homework. They had a grammer question and I answered it, so then I started to help him proofread. The paper had a lot to do with the girl's (paper author's) mom and it seemed kind of odd. (I had not read the title or begining, but had started reading mid-essay) Well to make a long story short, I was helping this dude proofread and was in mid paragraph when the girl who wrote it walked over to me and was like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!". I was all startled and said, "I was reading your paper for spelling and grammer errors." She got really mad and ripped the paper away.
Apparently this paper was part of an autobiography, it was titled "Life in the woumb" and was all about her mothers pregnancy with her. (No duh it seemed wierd!) She was totally furious with me because it had a lot of personal stuff in it. I fealt really bad.
(She is currently not talking to me.)
She made a big scene so I was pritty embaresed.

Yesterday we were making fruitcake, and I popped the butter in the microwave so it would be eaiser to grease the pans. Well, it was the type of butter with a metal wrapping, and I forgot to take it off, and after about 2 seconds in the microwave, it started making really big sparks.

Thain Peregrin Took I · 12-28-2004, 10:06 PM

I hve two more. They both happened on Christmas...:
We had just finished opening presents, when I got up to eat some of the snacks that our mom had left out, and I just happened to look in a bowl that had oranges in it. One of them was rotten and I said "Hey, one of the oranges is all green, and fuzzy, and nasty!" Then my mom told me to thow it away, and our aunt said "You really have to learn not to say those kind of things in front of people."

We had finished Christmas dinner, and MB, our grandma, and I were rolling the napkin rings around the table for something to do. Then our mom came in with dessert, and I was putting the napkin rings over on a ledge on the china cabinet to make more room. I noticed theere were ants, and I said "There's ants crawling all over here!" Later, when everyone had left, (except our grandpa, who was staying at our house), my mom said "If you see ants, you shouldn't say anything about it."

Eowyn, Lady of Rohan · 12-30-2004, 02:15 PM

I have one, that also happen close to christmas, i was at a party, and i saw a tin of cookies, i wondered what they were (damn my curious nature!) and ate one, then some one near me said : oh, those were dog treats!

YUK!

Thain Peregrin Took I · 01-16-2005, 10:07 PM

A couple day ago, I was making some oatmeal (not the instant stuff, but the kind you actually have to cook on the stovetop) and when I poured in the boiling water, it overflowed a little, so I moved it to the back burner so I could clean up the mess. When I was going to put the grate back on (since I had to take it off, as the water went under it to where the flame was) but I didn't use oven mitts or anything, so I burned my hads and dropped it back onto the counter.

trolls' bane · 01-16-2005, 10:25 PM

Well, I'm not exactly sur eif I already mentioned this, but I once tried to cut rope with an axe, and hit my thumb instead. It was a very dull axe.

Well that was smart. That must have hurt, even if it was dull.

trolls' bane · 01-16-2005, 10:45 PM

Well, I couldn't feel my thumb for a few hours. But I don't even remember what thumb it was now.
