During my senior year of high school I broke my ankle...I didn't realize it was broken, so every evening I would stick my foot in a bucket full of ice water. One particular evening I was also watching tv, with the remote in my hand. Something happened and I nearly dropped the remote in the bucket of ice water...I panicked, screamed, jumped up and out of the water, and almost dumped the bucket over. When my mother came running in to see what had happened, I frantically told her that I had almost electrocuted myself!!! Of course she died laughing and explained you can't electrocute yourself with a battery operated remote control.
I had an all out argument once with my sister that a DPS officer and a state trooper were not the same thing.
I again argued with my sister another evening over the fact that you could not possibly get "mad cow" disease from chicken fried steak because it was chicken...duh.
I was washing my car once and literally knocked myself unconscious with the water hose. I came to lying on my back in the grass...I have no idea how long I was out.
In high school I took a food home economics class. We were going to make frosted banana bars one day. After cooking the bars, I headed to the freezer to put our batch in. The teacher stopped me and asked what I was doing, I explained that I was putting them in the freezer to frost....you can figure out the rest.
I've had to have help popping popcorn because I literally could not figure out which way the bag should face. This particular incidence left my mother in tears...not because she thought it was funny but because she was genuinely concerned about me.
The list could go on and on, but this brings me up to this week...Btw, I'm only sharing this story so that I can help any other blonde friends in the future. So, this week I decided that I was tired of being pale. I however have told myself that I'm going to try and not tan in a tanning bed this year...which leads me to sunless tanning lotion. Sunday night I lathered myself in it, knowing that when I woke up the next morning I'd have a nice summer glow. Unbeknownst to me, it's not a good idea to stop at the ankles when applying sunless tanner. It was awful! The first thing I noticed were the super white feet compared to my nice brown legs. It never crossed my mind that this would happen! I just assumed that it would all blend nicely. Wrong. Stephanie Hudspeth and Jackie Cryer had quite the laugh at the track that evening. So, tonight I'm giving it another shot...and this time my feet will be nice and tan in the morning!
I hope you had a good laugh at my expense. It's alright really, I'm very much used to it. **Although, the image below did not actually happen to me, I could see myself doing it. **
