was a wee baby. We lived in Fayetteville, NC/Ft. Bragg. One night Josh was flailing around in my arms playing when - OUCH - his little finger went into my eye and scratched my eye ball. It hurt - A.L.O.T!! Off to the ER on base we went. We were put into an examination room that looked like it belonged in any eye docs office - mirrors on each side, eye charts..the works. There was a 2 foot strip of yellow tape on the floor about about a foot from the wall - an eye chart on the opposite wall.
The doc told me stand behind the yellow tape and face the wall - so, I did. As I'm looking at the wall with my one good eye the doctor says...Mrs. XXXX, I meant for you to face the opposite wall. Yes - I was standing there facing a solid wall (my nose just about touching). Picture it...I know you will laugh!
Folks, that 'visual' of ridiculousness still cracks me up today and was by far one of my most embarrassing moments.
Until Saturday night!
Honey and I were watching the Alabama vs Mississippi State football game. Not far into the first quarter I looked at the TV and said these words....
Me: "You mean they've both got one point already"?
Brian & Rich: "No one has scored yet" - looking at me like I'm the crazy one...hmmmp
Me: "But they each have one point a piece" - looking at them like THEY are the crazy ones
Me: "See, right there...." (Picture Alabama 0 vs Miss State 0 on the scoreboard)
My eyes see the center of the zero = a ONE.
Yes, Peeps...this has topped my most embarrassing story! After the laughter died down I still caught myself laughing at random.
Happy Monday - Peace!
