Once, Michael and I were traveling to Puerto Rico. We went to the wrong airport. The correct airport was about 15 minutes from our home. The INCORRECT airport was over an hour away.
I rarely make strong opinionated comments. Once, I was having a casual conversation with my doctor about cars. We got on the topic of Corvettes and I laughed about how a lot of retired people have Corvettes and when they attempt to get out of their Corvettes, they make a loud "HMMMPHHH" sound while pushing off of the seat because the car is so low. That's when my MD told me he had a Corvette.
One day, I said that I never have gotten poison ivy. The next day, I had it over my arms and legs and it has been that way ever since. If I look at it, I get it.
My family and I went cabin camping. We walked to a beach that had a grassy area. Of course, that's where we decided to sit. The next day, we all had chiggers. Do not get chiggers where the sun does not shine.
I met one of my husband's bosses and his wife. I said something to the wife about how I admired her artwork. The wife informed me that I was referring to the boss' ex-wife - she was the one that did the artwork.
When I was in high school, we were practicing sliding at softball practice. I had successfully slid into bases before, but to request sliding is a little different. It's an innate, subconscious ability? When it was my turn, I ran to first and headed to second, where I was supposed to slide. I did not. I kept going and rounded to third. At third, I slid upon command. I hit the base, tumbled over it and remember seeing sky-dirt-sky-dirt-sky and hitting the third baseline fence. Fortunately, I had borrowed my sister's sweatpants. As I lay looking up at the sky- we all had a good laugh and my sister needed new sweatpants. She wasn't thrilled about the new holes, but we still laughed. No use in friends who can't laugh at and with you.
