Time For Confession
The following actually happened. Some of them involve me. Some involve my sister. Ever done something we need to hear about?
You’ve attempted to iron at least one item of clothing with a hair flat iron because it was already plugged in.
You’re at work, you cross your legs in a meeting, only to reveal a Cling Free sheet sticking out of the cuff of your pant leg.
You’re late to your spin class. You’re the teacher. You can’t find a hair tie. A spinner asks you why you’re using a thong to tie back your hair.
At a loss for words during a wedding toast, you suddenly blurt out into the microphone, “And now, I’d like to sing a song for you.”
You have to go to the ER on the one day the hem of your pants fell as you were leaving for work. The nice array of safety pins around your hem is attracting a lot of attention from medical staff.
You took half of an Ambien, but didn’t go immediately to bed as instructed. Before you finally crashed, you brushed your teeth with cortisone.
You’re 16-years-old, reading a book at the dinner table with your family. You come across a word you don’t know and ask aloud, “What’s a ****?” Your younger brother and sister know what it is.

This is hilarious!!! Oh and please let me elaborate on Sherri’s last comment: You’re 16-years-old, reading a book at the dinner table with your family. You come across a word you don’t know and ask aloud, “What’s a ****?” Your younger brother and sister know what it is.
The “book” she was reading was Cosmoploitan Magazine and the four letter word started with a “c”

At 16 you should know what a **** is.

I don’t think they used that word a lot “back in the day.”

you should’ve sang a song about a **** for the wedding toast. That would teach people not to let ya be a bride’s maid

the ambien comment reminds me of the old saying : never take a laxitive and a sleeping pill at the same time.

I loved when Amy Winehouse called Kanye West the c word.

I have to try so hard not to laugh when my five year old sings banana fana and proceeds to use several vulgar words that she has no idea are vulgar.

Su…to this day, I can remember the shocked look on your face (not from saying the c word at the dinner table, but from not knowing what it meant) and your awkward laugh as I asked that question. And then, Mom’s question, “What are you reading?”
Yes, Kimmy, Glamour is highly credible for info on safety practices. It’s our source for news daily at the station. Does it say we can make a grilled cheese sandwich with a hair flat iron? From now on, Kimmy, you are the safety engineer for this blog! Anything related to our physical well being will be directed your way. We’re all counting on you!

I loved it when I couldn’t figure out why I was walking around lopsided at work and couldn’t figure out why, until someone looked down and noticed i had on 2 different shoes.
