Senior Moments or Dumb Things I've Done Lately

Have you ever done something dumb or stupid? A simple thing but you look back after the fact and say "What was I thinking"?

Last week, when going thru the laundry I found a pair of mismatched socks. I’m usually pretty careful about these things so I set them aside thinking maybe I'll find the missing socks.

I settled in to watch TV that night, looked down, and I was wearing a matching pair to the set I found in the laundry!

Go figure, I didn’t wear the mismatched pair once but twice! So I guess I have a quirky fashion sense, or I’m getting too old to notice or care.

My mom told me not to run with scissors or cut sewing thread with my teeth. She failed to mention that I shouldn’t tear packing tape with my teeth.

So I’m packing a box yesterday using heavy-duty clear tape. As I get ready to cut the end I see my scissors just out of reach. Too strong for me to tear, no problem! Of course, I used my teeth. I’d done it many times before, no biggie.

Well, they must make the glue a lot stronger or I’m just oh so delicate. A piece of the sticky side touched my lower lip, close to the inside. I didn’t realize it until after I tore the tape to place it on the box.

Yup, tore a small piece of skin off, enough to start the blood dripping out. Ever try to apply pressure to the edge of your lip? I will NEVER do that again!
