Just Goofy!
Let me tell you how goofy Kevin and I are.
Yesterday we went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. We parked straight down from the door. It was a long way down the parking lot, but still in clear view.
We were only in the store for maybe 15 minutes. We came out the same door that we originally entered and walked straight back down the isle looking for the truck. You can’t miss it; it’s red for goodness sakes. We didn’t see it where we thought we had left it so we walked down the isle a little further. We still didn’t see the truck. So, we started looking in other isles. I asked Kevin, “Do you think someone took our truck?” He said that there was no way they could.
So, he starts pushing the panic button on his key ring. This should make the horn start honking until you push the button again. Well, he’s pushing it and we aren’t hearing anything. No truck. No honking.
I finally start back up the isle and realize to my horror that we had driven MY car to Wal-Mart! My small, gold, Saturn. AAAARRRRRGGGGGG!
The sad part about this whole thing is that we aren’t even in our mid thirties. What will our minds be like in a few more years? At least it was both of us and not just me.

I got one just as good. Daddy dropped mom at the front do of the grocery, when she came out, she saw a white van, got in it and sat down, then realized it was not our van. Daddy was setting by the pop machines laughing.

Between your story and Deanna's, I think I'm all set for smiles today.
When I first got my last job, Howie and I only had one car. Some days he'd drop me off at work, some days I'd drive. It was inevitable that I'd occasionally zone out and completely forget my transportation situation. Some days found me sitting out front of our building after work, tapping my foot and waiting for Howie to come pick me up...While all the time the car was in the parking lot. Another time, we got a call at work from a stranded co-worker and I eagerly volunteered to go retrieve him, only to get out to the parking lot and realize Howie had dropped me off at work that day. I was laughing so hard when I got back in the call center, I had tears streaming from my eyes.

P.S. I think the above is going to be fleshed out as a blog entry eventually. ;)

You guys are so funny! Deanna, my mom opened the back door of someone else's car just a few weeks back. She was shocked to find no car seat and a very surprised lady sitting up front. Now she's afraid that she'll do that again! GW, that's just terrible (terribly funny) that you sat there and waited for Howie and the car was there!!! Too funny!
