The most stupid thing you have ever done

[Athena Appleton]

Okay, well, for those of you out there who have kids, you will probably be able to relate to this story. To those of you who don't have kids, just remember this: once you do, you will lose ALL sense of being cool.

I have a 2 1/2 year old little boy, and we're in the very beginning stages of potty-training him. We read all the books and articles we could find, went out and let him help pick out a potty seat and a stepstool, and have been sitting him on the toilet every hour or so for the last three or four days, trying to encourage him to go tee-tee in the potty. He finally did it this morning! I started dancing around the bathroom and clapping my hands going "YAY!!! CAMERON WENT TEE-TEE IN THE POTTY!!!!" and generally making a fool out myself (don't worry, when you have kids, you'll be doing the same thing), then Cameron went running around the house with no underpants on yelling "TEE-TEE! TEE-TEE!" So I thought, "Hey, we should call my husband at work and tell him" (my husband hates that he misses all the milestones). So I dialed my husband's number and handed Cameron the phone, and he started jibbering (he doesn't talk very clearly yet), so he was holding the phone up to his ear going "Oy-a-oy-a-oy-a-Daddy-oy-a-tee-tee-oy-a-potty!" I let him talk for about a minute longer, then I took the phone, and all I heard was laughing. Cameron had very proudly told the guy in the cubicle next to my husband that he had gone tee-tee in the potty. What happened was that my husband was across the room, and his coworker picked up his phone to buy Todd enough time to get back to his cubicle.

Luckily, the guy had a four-year-old son, so he completely understood why we were so excited, but I was pretty mortified that I had just had Cameron tell Todd's coworker that he'd gone tee-tee in the potty.

Um, Athena why are you embarrassed about this? I think that's really sweet, but nothing to be ashamed of.

Now MY piece of cake today, LOLOL! I had a nap in the late afternoon, around 6. When i woke up I looked at the clock and saw it was 09:45, and my exam was supposed to start at 8! I started shouting at my flatmate for not waking me up and completely freaked out cause I thought I'd missed it. I only realized that it was still Wednesday evening when he llay on the floor laughing about me, cause I thought I had slept the night through.
Now that is silly, innit? HAHAHAHAHA

yeah I've seen it.
My bigger brother wanted to take a nap in his room where to his bitter regret was situated the PC.It was winter so the sun went down pretty fast.At 5 there was still light wit at 6:30 it was starting to get dark.At 6:30 in the morning it's about that bright.I wake him up and tell him to move his butt to school "RIGHT NOW!!".He woke up, brushed his teeth and quickly grabbed a sandwich i had prepared for him so he can eat on his way to"school".He got dressed, took his backpack and ran off.Victory was mine and i calmly turned on the PC 8) .Then he got home furious because the school was closed(it was Sunday and he thought it was Monday 6.30)

LOL!

That was certainly a bad thing to do, though...

Well, I thingk I don't have a 'most stupid thing I've ever done', but as I am VERY distracted (but reeeeally distracted), I regularly do things such as asking for my glasses when they are in my face...

And also in a test, when classifying a sentece true or false, I put once the word "red" instead of "true" (in portuguese, these two words are *slightly* similar: "vermelho", "verdadeiro")

Oh it was but my fair friend Joto, I'm a Slytherin for a reason

Here'a a whopper!

Many of you know that my 4yr old is in a leg cast that goes from her toes to her hip.
Luckily for us in the back of our junk room (most people have a junk drawer - we have a whole room ) we still had an old double stroller. Not the kind that is side by side but front to back. If we put the seat back in the front down we have a stroller long enough to accomidate Emmy's cast and it is an excellent way to get her around.
Yesterday Emmy and I went shopping, stopped at her older sister's school for a visit at recess then went to the video store. After leaving the video store I got her into the van.
This is actually quite the process because of the way the seats are in the vehicle and her general size and weight.

I get a call from my husband tonight while I am working asking me where the stroller is. I tell him it is in the back of the van. He says that it isn't.

Apparently I drove off leaving the stroller behid in the parking lot! I would put a LOL smilie here except that to replace it will be very difficult and we have no other way of moving her around.

I can not believe that I did something so incredibly STUPID!

I guess I will have to hit the thrift shops tomorrow. I hope I can find one so wish me luck!

Wow Alice... it is sure a bad thing... now, we all forget about things somewhere... You probably have already gone there, and now... how is the situation now?
