Stupidity… it claims the minds of the best of us. Some laughingly say that as your baby grows, your mental capacity shrinks! Here’s what some five-monther mamas had to share. (If you’d forget you were pregnant if your belly wasn’t protruding, take heart: You’re not alone.)
I had my first “stupid” moment of this pregnancy. I went to the store yesterday to buy some fabric paint. I took my husband’s car because he took my mine for the day. When I was walking out from the store to the parking lot with my son, I saw the car and tried for five minutes to unlock the door. My key wasn’t fitting in, and I started to panic because my husband was [out of town] for the day, and I would have to call a taxi to get home, etc… All of a sudden I looked in the car and realized that it had grey interior instead of a tweed color. I was trying to unlock the wrong car! My car — same make, model, etc. — was two cars down. People actually saw me trying to unlock the car door. I was so embarassed. – Willsmama
Well, for two days straight, I made coffee, and never put the coffee in, wouldn’t have been so bad, but I added cream and Sweet ‘n’ Low the second day. Then I was hot and sweaty yesterday and complaining and I got real frustrated and said something like, “My boobs are just hanging there, sweating like two tits on a bull hog.” My SO just about fell over laughing and said, “Honey, its not a bull hog, it a boar hog, and they are male!” Of course I got mad and said, “Well, excuse me for not taking THAT course in college,” then I laughed so hard I peed myself! – Tammy
I was walking down the hall to see a client, and he was standing at the end of the hall in our office, which is quite a ways away. I had a business card in my hand and I dropped it. I picked it up then I dropped in again. Then I picked it up and dropped it one more time before I finally got up to see him. He was just looking at me trying not to have that, “She’s an idiot” look on his face. It was soooo embarrassing. – Darlene
I think I have you all beat: I was making a ‘pay by phone’ payment, and when the lady asked me how to spell my last name, I blanked out — told her I didn’t know. – Lisa
