I take great pride in having the ability to laugh at myself, goodness knows it's a blessing much more than a curse.
This past weekend, my boyfriend came to visit and brought his daughter, son and grandson to hang out. We had the best time, we just talked, laughed ate and chilled.
Saturday, late afternoon, we all got it together and got ready to go out, we hit one of the malls, we just did some browsing, the kids (age 19, 14 and 2) walked ahead of us while he and I lallygagged behind a little ways. We came upon a jewelry store that had these HUGE display windows and in the window, I saw an adorable little diamond pendant.
I was NOT wearing my glasses and I was really trying to see this pendant in the window (hindsight said I should have just gone in the damned store....) so I leaned forward as I walked (you see where this is going right?). I leaned a bit more, eyes affixed on this dainty pendant in the window when "foomp"! I walked my happy ass, head first into the display window.
At first I was stunned, took me a second to realize that I had walked head first into this big ass window of the jewelry store. Now it was no little thump......the people inside the store heard and saw it, along with everyone who was in the immediate vicinity of Thomas and me. People were bowing their heads and trying to laugh discreetly, he looked shocked at first and the only thing I could do was say "OUCH!!" and promptly began to laugh my ass off. That shit was all on ME, had I had my glasses on, which I need to read and look at small things that would have never happened but I could not muster up the nerve to see if there was a big ole forehead print on the glass. I laughed so hard that I could hardly breathe. I can say that Thomas handled it better than most of my friends would have, he at least asked me if I was okay first.......THEN laughed at me but by then, I was laughing so hard that I didn't have the sense to be embarrassed and now I have provided myself with a situation that I'll never live down.
Oh and the kids? Yeah they saw it too but they decided it was better to keep walking, not know me and laugh their assess off too..........lol!! Gotta love it.
