It's that time of the year when high-school Seniors graduate...however, that's not the type of Senior Moment I'm talking about. I'm talking about my brain going to mush. This week I've had my share of senior moments.
Going to the store can be like getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle. We go into the store...and it's hours before we come out! After finishing our weekly grocery shopping, I'm pushing one of those ridiculous carts with the cars attached in front. I say ridiculous because they are the Semi Truck of Shopping Carts. Trying to turn, in one of those, takes some serious skills. We walk out into the parking lot and through an entire row of cars. Our Jeep is nowhere in sight.
Hmmmmm. Down another row. No Jeep.
That's weird. I know I parked on the east side of the store. Again up one row.
Nothing.
I call Jody. "I can't find the Jeep!" His response, "Have you thought about where you parked it?"
"Really??!! Yes, that's all I'm thinking about!" (And I'm also thinking a little about the fact that this might be one of those practical joke shows where silly things happen to random people...so just in case secret cameras are rolling; I'm smiling and trying to look composed.)
But now the lady waiting in her SUV for her husband, who is in the store, is laughing at me. And one of the Smith's Employees comes and asks me if I lost my car. And the whole time Gracie is yelling from her little cart-car "What Happened To Our Car?"
So I go to the west side of the store, even though my brain is telling me we parked on the east side. And Yes! There it is.
Senior Moment #2
(The "Wow! You're So Old" Situation)
The young salesclerk at Children's Place rings me up.
Her: "Cute Shirt! I like that."
Me: "Thanks it reminds me of a shirt Kelly Kapowski would wear."
Her: Silence. Confused. Blank Stare.
Me: "You know...From Saved By the Bell."
Her: Still Nothing. She didn't know.

Ben and I were both laughing out loud!! Mostly at jody's response! And I have done the exact same thing.....including thinking that secret cameras were watching!
Oh bless you for being so sweet and cute, ha ha I loved your post. And now I'll share one of my senior scenes. Ben showed me a funny fire trick, called faith paper. It was a cool trick and it involved lighting a unique kind or paper on fire. Well about three or four minutes after the fire trick I say in a nervous voice "Ben does it smell like fire to you? it smells like fire to me, where's it coming from?!" Ben looks at me stunned, maybe thinking is she kidding me? well he had to remind me that a few minutes ago he lit some paper on fire, ding, light bulb as Gru from Despicable Me would say.
