He came to me one day and wrote, "My truck broke in town". I wrote back, "Do you want me to run you over?". He got wide-eyed and started backing out my door and yelling "No!". I was puzzled until my DH entered and laughingly pointed toward the chalkboard. Poor kid must have thought I was out to kill him.......

I misplaced my album from my son's wedding. DH said that i left it somewhere-i said if i did they would've returned it. My friend said is it in your suitcase b/c i had taken it to ladies retreat. i said no b/c i had it in a different bag not the suitcase. well after about a year and a half, i was straightening the Dump room(where everything gets tossed) b/c we were putting a couple of bookcases in there. and i was moving the suitcase and i noticed the outside pocket was unzipped. i thought i'd zip it so it wouldn't bag. stuck my hand in there and -you got it- there was the album!! I ran downstairs shrieking to my DH that i had found it. Apparently i had put it in the pocket b/c i was taking a bunch of stuff upstairs at once and it was easier tocarry that way. Why I didn't take it out is beyond me. Anyway i was very happy. Unfortunately it happens all too often!

I call it "a flat forehead moment", it is when you slap your forehead and go duh. I had a car once, that I had for several months before realizing that the car alarm I was hearing was from my car that dh activated by mistake.
