Has anyone else done something dumb today?

I just had a brain fart.

I undressed my daughter to give her a bath, then I put her in the tub. I asked my husband to come watch her so I could clean her bedroom before bed.

When he came into the bathroom, he started laughing.

I looked and saw her diaper was still on while she was in the tub!

Did anyone else do anything really stupid today?

 

Well not really stupid as much as absent minded.

My wife just asked for a cup of coffee, I went and made it, lit a smoke, and sat down with it. One sip and I realized it was not my ice cold sprite.

 

Aww, that's so sweet! You made coffee for your wife.

 

I'm always doing stupid stuff. Today at work I went to serve this guy and the boiling plate landed in his lap.

This morning whilst I was watching tv, I was having a ciggerette and my glass of Sprite was next to my Ashtray and i flicked ash all in my drink coz I wasn't paying attention & I thought it was my ashtray..

Yesterday I was in a department store shopping, on the first floor and this lady with a stroller said ''excuse me, do u happen to know where the lifts are?'' so thicko here says ''Yes, they are downstairs'' DOH!

My mum calls them Mellaisms or Mella Moments.

Must engage brain before opening mouth.


Whaaaaaat.

 

LOL! Absolutely and all the time.

I call them my menopausalmoments.

Walking all the way to the back of the department to get something out of the freezer and completely forgetting what I wanted to get.

Pouring myself a coffee and leaving it on the counter while I come back here and later remember, "oh yeah! coffee!" By this time it's cold.

Take my glasses off and forget where I left them.

Leave my wallet and bank card on the desk so I won't forget it when I leave for work. I forget it.

Sometimes I say things backwards...no idea why I started to do this and it can be very disturbing. For example, instead of toasted muffins, what comes out is moasted tuffins. Even after I think about it later, it still stays moasted tuffins in my head.....

I've flicked ashes in my food and my drink to Mella...lol

 

Hahah I do that too! Especially with people, Like i'll WANT to say Jack and Mary but it comes out Mack and Jary. It's so wierd. Its like I have no control over what comes out my mouth.

I do the forgetting stuff to. All the time! My apartment has 3 floors, and my room is right at the top, so I'll be going out, and ill forget something so i'll run up 3 flights of stairs...only to forget what I wanted. So ill go back to the place where I had the thought to try and jog my memory, and then i'll suddenly remember, but within a few mins its gone again. No wonder i'm so fit, I must run up & down stairs about 10 times every time i leave the house.

How old are you though Shan? I'm only 22 which makes it slightly worrying bwhahaha.

 

Yeah Shan, How old are you?

 

ALL BETS ON NOW!

I say..hm...40 years old.

 

I don't dare guess!

 

lmao you guys...my age is no big secret. Noppid knows so shouldn't have to guess, but you got it Mella. The big 40 last March. It's not really as bad as everyone would have liked me to believe... and people still don't believe me though when I tell them I'm 40 and have a grand with another on the way...

 

Aren't those called 'spoonerisms'? One I'll never live down from my husband is when I said 'my squeals are tiring' instead of 'my tires are squealing'. Or maybe that isn't a spoonerism....I don't know! Forget I said anything!

 

Mella you crack me up! You say this like, ho hum... just another day at work...
