Let me see!!

Pick up phone receiver and punch in phone number on the computer keyboard.

Punch in numbers on the adding machine and wonder why they aren't appearing on the computer monitor.

Take the toddler by the hand and walk him halfway home from the shop, then realize you have left the newborn baby in the pram outside the shop.

In the middle of cooking cakes. Rush to shops to buy missing ingredient. Come home and throw car keys onto kitchen table. Find them a month later still attached to the binder rings inside the recipe folder where they had fallen.

And please remember that the Milk goes in the coffee and the Fabric softener in the Washing machine....Not the other way around! :-))

I left my new born outside the shop I had just been in, was halfway down the street before I realised, and the shop owner was doubled up with laughter! That was when it was safe to leave a child outside a shop.

Hi Jean, Mine was back in the olden days too. I was about two blocks away from the shop and I can remember this niggle that something wasn't right. I remember picking up my toddler and running back to the shop where the new daughter was happily sleeping in her pram. I felt like such an idiot. Sometimes I think I should have left her there!!

I left my youngest on the bus once!
She was about 3, I was laden up with shopping, and she was having a major strop!
Usually, I followed the girls off the bus, but this time, the youngest wouldn't go in front of me, so eldest got off, I got off, turned round - and the bus was going - youngest hadn't got off!
Major panic ensued for about 20 seconds - then the bus stopped and youngest was ejected from the bus onto the grass verge!

She never did that again - always made sure she was in front of me when we got off the bus in future. LOL

*sigh* I went and bought a card in the card shop... came out, ambled to baby clinic... sat down in said clinic and waited my turn... was called in, and asked * where is your baby Mrs xyx* then realised that I had left tiny baby (first clinic after he was born) outside card shop... OMG... says I... and legged it all the way back to shop, to find no baby in pram.... and smiling Greek ladies waving to me... they had taken him into the shop... phew!! There is someone else on these boards who recognised that story, from 35 years ago.... and so we met up again for the first time in donkeys years, lolol.

Memo to self......... erm.... I forgot!! ;¬))

Love
