So I was just in one of those reminiscent moods this evening and I got to thinking of all the funny little moments in my life over the last year or so. SO for your reading pleasure, and in the spirit of my reminiscing, I'll recount a few.

**************************************************

Setting and background: Me, Kim and a couple of other co-workers were all at work and somehow the conversation turned to underwear.

Kim: "My pants are so lose, I wish I'd worn some cuter underwear today, just in case . I bought several really cute ones pairs the other day. One had "thrill me" written across the back. Another "love me" and the third pair had "tease me" on them"

Me: "Don't worry Kim, I'm sure if your pants fall off people will tease you anyway."

***************************************************

Setting and background: Again we're at work, this time it's me, Amber, and Scott.

Amber: "Did you guys see that girl? She had the exact haircut I want to get."

Me: "Which girl?"

Amber: "The one that was just in here, Scott was flirting with her."

Me: " *laughs* like that narrows it down."

***************************************************

Setting and background: I'm hanging out with a friend of mine at her apartment. She's just taken a temporary job for the holidays working in a department store, and she's showing me photos she took with her phone.

Amanda: "So that's what the place looks like, oh and this is one of my co-workers, she's a wrapper"

Me: **very confused ** "That preppy looking white girl is a rapper?!?"

**************************************************

Setting and background: I'm at work and handling hot pans when I accidently touch one against my stomach.

Amber: "Oh no are you ok?"

Me: "huh?" **Noticing** "Oh yeah, wow, didn't even notice, it didn't hurt at all."

Amber: "whew, must have been all that padding (I'm wearing 2 shirts and an apron)"

Me: " I really wish you'd rephrase that"

**************************************************

Setting and background: Again I'm at work (can you tell I work too much?), and we're trying to remove an ugly, sticky stain from something. We had another co-worker who was REALLY obsessed with chemistry. You could be talking about anything and he'd tie it into chemistry somehow.

Lauren: **sigh** "If only Ruston were here he could whip us up a solvent that would take that right out"

**************************************************

Setting and background: I'm with my mom and she's telling someone about the new car she just bought, a Ford Focus.

Friend: "what kind of car is it?"

Mom: "it's a..uhh, oh shoot I can't remember the name now"

Me: "Focus"

Mom: "I'm trying"

*************************************************

Setting and background: This actually took place about 2 years ago. My cousin had just finished telling us all a very sad story about a friend she had, who'd fallen into the tragic pattern of "cutting" or self-mutilation, and had to be hospitalized as a result.

Grandmother: "Hmm, I just can't understand it. I'm one of the last people I'd want to mutilate."

Everyone else:

*************************************************

Setting and background: I was sitting in my Latin class last summer, and our professor was going over last night's assignment. Suddenly he became distracted.

Professor: **Squinting and trying to read one of the girl's shirts** "what's your shirt say, and what's the arrow for?"

Girl: **very embarrassed and laughing** "It says "I'm up here pervert" "

**************************************************

Setting and background: This final one actually took place about 5 years ago, but it's definitely one of the worst incidences of bad timing I've ever experienced. I was in my high school speech class, and we'd just drawn our topics for the final speeches we had to give.

Speech Teacher: "now remember everyone, I don't care if you guys swap topics, as long as SOMEONE does a speech on each of the topics."

Me: "what did you get Philip?"

Philip: "I have to give a speech about drug use among teenagers"

Lacy: "I'm giving mine on premarital sex."

Me: "eughh, I hate mine. It's about politics, I can't stand talking about politics."

***At this moment our Religion teacher walks in. I think I was one of her favorite students, and as well as telling the speech teacher something, she was there to let me know that I'd made an A on her final**

Me: **turning to Lacy, without noticing the religion teacher walk in** "Hey Lacy, can I have your premarital sex?"

R. Techer: "Kevin!!"

Me: "No wait you don't understand!"

R. Teacher: **walking out** "I don't want to hear it."

I guess it coulda been worse, Philip could have been the one with the premarital sex ....I was so hot for him that year anyway!
