No Shoes

 

What is the dumbest or most ridiculous thing you’ve done lately—either intentionally or unintentionally?

 

For me, hands down, it was unintentionally leaving my house with no shoes!

 

Let me explain.

 

I got my new bifocals on Thursday. They made me sick on Thursday night and Friday, but I knew that I had to try to get used to them, so I decided to try to them on Saturday—only I left them in my car on Friday night.

 

Not wanting my eyes to have to adjust from my old glasses to the new, I left off my glasses while I got ready. I carefully did my bathroom routine, got dressed, went downstairs, made my breakfast, talked to mom and dad, got my wallet, keys, and phone, made my way to my car, and put on my new glasses.

 

I was relieved that I didn’t immediately feel sick and happily drove off to meet a friend for coffee.

 

About half way into the twenty-minute drive, I noticed that I didn’t have on shoes. Thinking I had just slipped them off, I felt around for them. No shoes. Then I realized what I had done: I had forgotten to put on shoes!

 

In my blind haste, I skipped that step of getting ready! In my anxious state, I was so focused on the top of my body that I forgot the bottom!

 

My plan was to meet my friend for coffee, go shopping, and take Cracker Barrel food home for mom and dad. Without shoes, my plan wasn’t possible!

 

Thankfully, the coffee shop wasn’t crowded and the owners let me sit in the corner with no shoes. But after that? I found a drive-thru, went straight home, and then laughed hysterically with my mom when I told her what I’d done.

 

So again, I ask you: What is the dumbest or most ridiculous thing that you’ve done lately—either intentionally or unintentionally?

 

Please share. I need to know that I’m not the only one 😊.
