We got together last night at Katie's house and my two genius kids starting swapping stories. It wasn't a more typical situation of sibling rivalry -one trying to top the other with feats of accomplishments. Oh no, these two told us of some of their rather 'less than fabulous' talents (something their clutsy mother can definitely relate to).
Andy started the evening with the "Lunch Time Pick-Up Game". He was eating his lunch in his car at the local park when he noticed a group of highly unusual friends playing a game of basketball. As he watched them, he wondered if they belonged to some weird kind of club or something, because they were all eight of them, left handed! "I don't think I've ever seen 8 left handed basketball players all at once playing together!". He was so intrigued, he got on the cell phone and called his good friend, Cake, (unusual nickname, uh?) and told him of this X-Files phenomenom. "Are you watching them in your rear-view mirror?" "Well, yeah". "Everything's in reverse!!!"
---Now he has to wonder on the odds of 8 people playing together all being right handed -eerie.
Kate got a new cell phone last week. Her hubby was nice enough to program it for her with all the new features her old phone didn't have. (by the way, the old phone died when someone washed and dried it in the Maytag). Anyway, as she was walking in Kohls, she noticed they were playing James Taylor on the overheads, which she thought was a nice touch compared to the normal fare of horrible girl singers. As she moved through the store, James Taylor followed her - even to the parking lot. Wow, they pipe the same music outside - what a nice touch!
--As she got into the kitchen, James started crooning again and that's when she realized her new phone with the James Taylor ring tone had been ringing off the hook all morning!
Next one: Kate was once again in the store - this time the grocery store. And once again the cell phone was involved. As she walked down the aisle with the phone in hand, she all of a sudden started doing a 'moon walk' - she was slipping and sliding all over! She demonstrated her 'moves' last night with her arms flapping and legs flayed out almost to the splits. She looked down and saw the BIG RED CONE marked CAUTION - WET FLOOR.
--Of course, it was even worse than a wet floor - it was coated with a film of soap!
Last, but not least: Jason had to go to the store to pick up some little item and while walking down the aisle found himself all of a sudden, slipping, sliding and doing the splits. He looked down and saw the BIG RED CONE marked CAUTION -WET FLOOR. 2 in one day - I wonder if the store management sits in the office watching these klutzes dancing in their aisles?

I can relate to the cell phone stories. I was talking to Noelle on my cell phone one day. I was getting out of the car and looking for my phone everywhere. I even told Noelle I couldn't find it. I can't remember exactly what she said but it was something like "Kristy, DUH, you are talking to me on it!"--uh huh
