You know what I love

I love to make people laugh. Most of the times that consists of my hubby and kids... but there are also some girls online that I can get the giggles out of..sometimes. I made a post today on a message board and I had some girls tell me they literally laughed out loud (at my expense. Of course. But does that matter?). I'll tell you the fact that they laughed, even though it was at one of my embarrassing experiences (I seem to have those frequently), made me smile.

So I am going to share this story. Maybe, just maybe, you'll laugh too. If you do, let me know! Because that makes me happy. And you know what? I like to be happy. It's fun!

Before I begin my story, let me give a bit of background. My drama queen (I mean precious) daughter, Ariel goes to a great school. They are big on safety. If you pick up your kids, you have to wait in the car line (or park and walk up and get them yourself but then usually you still have to wait in the car line to leave as the traffic flows one way and there's a lot of it).
Anyways, once you get up there, the teacher puts the child in your car to be sure it is YOU picking them up. So this is what I mean in my story when I say car line.

Following? I hope so.

Here's the story:

So yesterday I'm in the "car line". Usually the wait to get up to where your child is can be 15 to 20 minutes depending on where you get in the car line. Towards the back, obviously your wait is longer. Unfortunately I fell in the middle somewhere. I would have LOVED to have been the last car... less witnesses.

I can't tell you *exactly* what happened. I'd like to say it was because I didn't have sunglasses on and maybe the glare of the sun on the back window of the Subaru in front of me kept me from realizing what I was doing. But I don't know. Maybe I was daydreaming and wasn't paying attention. Maybe I'm stupid. Whatever the reason, I was snapped back into reality when my car, going around a turn to loop around to the entrance, started climbing one of the railroad ties that line the side of the parking lot. Yes, going 5 mph and following the car in front of me, I managed to pull off this embarrassing fiasco. So immediately I correct myself. Not only are the people behind me seeing my car ride up on a railroad tie (which NEVER should have happened, I mean honestly), my arm hits the horn as I'm trying to get the front of my car back on the pavement. It was like my car was saying, "HONK! HONK! Look at us! The driver is a moron!". My face burned red but thankfully that's all that came of that. I could have damaged my car! I didn't dare look in my review mirror to see any faces. I'm sure they either had a total look of confusion as to how I pulled that off, or they were laughing. I know I was laughing. I think I was hoping to convince people, "oh I meant to do that". I'm just glad we hadn't made it to where teachers or *gasp* Ariel could see my stunt. To think if that had been the case. I can't imagine!
