Yesterday some of us moms got together at a local pool to let the kids run/swim wild. A few of them came directly over from another pool where they were having swim lessons, one of which was my friend, Mrs. Spice*. She was a wee bit cranky because she lost her keys at the last pool (and when I say "wee bit," I mean if she were about to be mugged, I'd have felt sorry for the mugger). Not much worse than losing your keys... except getting your hand caught in the garbage disposal. That would totally be worse. Sporting a bumper sticker that says "my kid beat up your honor student" is worse too. Ok, so there are a lot of worse things. I digress.
She called her hubby, told him the situation and he was all: did you check in your bag? everywhere? did you ask the staff? lost and found? check everywhere? thoroughly check in your bag? She recounted this conversation and we were both attempting to kill him with the power of our minds alone; add eyerolling and irritation with the male species in general for asking ridiculously obvious questions.
They're a one car family, so in the middle of a workday, Mr. Spice had to get a coworker to take him numerous miles to pick up the car, then out of the way to stop by the pool to give her a house key where he had to walk through the men's locker room and a man in his birthday suit attempted to converse with him. He was, of course, thrilled by all of this. Since she was carless, we gave her and Asha, super cute Asha, a ride home. On the way home as we were talking about what a hassle this was, she was looking in her bag for something... and with shock and horror on her face, pulled out her "lost" keys. She gasped, "OMG!!!! Swear this is just between you and me. SWEAR IT!!!!" I said, "Of course! Of course! I swear it! Ha HA HAAAA. It's just between you and me. HAAA HAAAAAAA!!! Actually, you, me and my blog."

Can you add the part where Mr. Spice has to go through the men's locker room to get to Holly and there he met a completely naked man who then tried to have a conversation with him? Can you? Huh? Huh?
That's too funny, and who totally can't relate.
-sigh-
So did you check your purse???
HAVE YOU SEEN MY PURSE?!?!?! We could lose the entire CAR in this purse!!!!!!
Kel, I totally did. Can't believe I left that out!
LOL poor sweet Mr. Spice!! And I almost did the same thing today - searching my diaper bag and car for my keys...which I had put into my pocket no more than 2 minutes earlier. Ah well. Mrs. Spice, you crack me up!!
LOL. I like to call my purse the black hole of all things that I need. Oh well...
okay- we've all done it before.
only there are some of us who remain nameless that just continue to look as though they really WILL appear like that!
I feel for Mrs. Spice, it was at least 115 degrees!!!
Maybe Mr. Spice would feel better if he heard my story of having Ben SEARCH and SEARCH for my car keys ... (add in a little frustration, a few huffs and puffs) for them only to be found in the fridge!
Oh, I've definitely been there! Luckily I didn't have to ask anyone to come rescue me but it doesn't make it any less embarrassing.
Are you sure you didn't tear this page out of MY life story? That's typical of something I would do. Humble pie, I know thee well.
Too funny!
