Annoying and awkward / myLot

I tend to find humor in some of life's all-too-common, awkward moments. Laughing is better than stressing anyway, right? After grocery shopping last week, I noticed something dark on my peach shirt. Eyeliner! At the top, a few inches below my chin. No big deal really, but I just didn't like the thought of running around the store for 30 minutes with a black smudge, right in front for all to see. Ugh! While applying stain remover to it, I remembered a more embarrassing shirt problem that happened many years earlier. About 26 years ago, I was shopping with my one year old daughter and her four year old brother. All went well, the kids behaved themselves, etc. When we got home, I looked in the mirror and noticed that something didn't look quite right. Lop-sided! Kind of lumpy too. "OH!! How long has THAT been there?!" I had put my baby's pacifier in my t-shirt chest pocket. Nipple side sticking out, of course! Hmm, I'd wondered why a few people in the store had given me strange looks...

Several years ago when my cousin turned three she got one of those play makeup kits for her birthday. You know the ones that are more wax and colored powder than real makeup. Wellll after her party my uncle fell asleep while Lydii was making "daddy pretty" and forgot about it when he went to the store to get chicken for dinner later. When he got back I asked him if he had gone out like that, and he instantly went to the mirror. He looked like he had been attacked by Tammy Faye Baker and a box of crayolas.

Now, you know why they gave you a strange look. That is really funny. What would have been funnier yet if you took out and put it in your mouth and sucked on it in front of all those that stared at you.
