My mom's most embarrassing moment is funnier than my own most embarrassing moment (which, when asked to share, I can never retrieve very fast), so I always borrow hers during that particular ice breaker. She starts the story like this, "you know when you see a dog in a car in a parking lot and you bark at it?" Which always makes me laugh, because no, I don't know. I have never done that and I have never seen anyone else do it. She says it like it's a normal thing to do, like we all walk around barking at dogs in cars. As the story goes, she approached a dog in a car with an open window, and barked at the dog, when the dog turned around, it was a woman. The rest of the story is pretty funny, but the beginning is always my favorite part. Which is why I was stunned with myself the other day in the Target parking lot when I saw a dog in a car, and I BARKED AT IT. Am I feeling okay?
...and sadly, that's all the blogarrhea I can muster today.
