Do you ever do anything really stupid. Like, after you’ve done it, you can’t even believe you did it.
I do things like that about once a week. On a good week.
So, instead of another picture post, which I know you’re all sick of, I’m going to share an idiot moment from last night.
For two years, I’ve been going to a Bible study. We meet at the same place every week. I’ve gone to this couple’s house well over a hundred times. Keep those facts in mind.
Last night, I pull up to their house, walk to the front door–and it’s locked. That’s weird, they never keep the front door locked. I lean over and peer into the window next to the door. Huh, that’s weird. They got a new couch. And they painted the living room. And…wait…these people that I’m staring at. The ones sitting on the couch. The ones staring back at me. I don’t know them. Oh. Crap. I’m at the wrong house.
I stand up and begin backing down the porch stairs. Then I turn around and start running. That doesn’t make me look guilty AT ALL.
Then I hear the door open behind me. ohcrapohcrapohcrap
“It’s two houses down,” a smiling lady on the front porch tells me. “It happens all the time.”
Oh, no, it doesn’t. It might happen to new people. But they don’t try to open the door without knocking. It does not happen to people who have been to the house before. More than 100 times before.
Once I got to the REAL house, we all laughed over the story. And what could have happened.
What if the door hadn’t been locked? What if I had walked in, plopped down on the couch, and started commenting on the new furniture? How long would it have taken me to figure it out. Would it have been before or after that poor family called the police.
So there you have it. I’m an idiot. Over and over again.
You’ve always had problems with directions. Mom
Brandy—you crack me up!!!!!!!!!!!!:) Love ya
lol, that was funny. backing down the steps then RUNNING! haha. i bet the people in the house got a good laugh at the girl running away from their house back to her car.
This story actually makes me feel better. A couple months ago my cousin and I were going to a baby shower (out of town). We followed the google directions until we got to the street. Then we saw a house with balloons and “Baby Shower” sign on the mailbox. So we walk inside - and we see lots of women sitting around a table eating. I’m looking for someone I know - and realize they’re looking at us the same way. Wrong baby shower. The ladies laughed at us and wanted to take our picture - but we left FAST before they could. Turns out it was the house directly across the street from where our baby shower was. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!?
