Further Senior Moments !

Re hair and spraying, here’s a ‘junior’ moment.

Yesterday my 5 year old Gdd appeared with a can of what she thought was some sort of hair conditioner, and wanted to spray her baby sister’s hair with it.

Dd quickly pointed it out that it was a shoe-leather treatment - whereupon Gdd made an ‘eeek!’ sort of face and confessed that she’d already sprayed her 4 yo brother’s hair with it.
TBH it looked none the worse!

I went into the bedroom to get my book from the bedside table and walked out with the alarm clock. I don't think it has the same entertainment value.

Just got in the shower with my glasses on ??

I too have mistook different spray cans in the bathroom. Very careful now!

Has anyone ever reversed out of their driveway without opening the gate first..? I did this on Saturday and it’s been worrying me ever since.. have had to tell the OH that the wind must have blown it shut.?

You close your front gates tinytears? I thought such things were just for decoration.

I had a senior thought late this morning.
Hearing that the dishwasher had finished, it went through my head that I could now peg out while it was still sunny and bright ?
Don't think the crockery would take kindly to being pegged to the line.

Please tell me your hair had a lovely shine, though.

For some weeks I treated the front of my hair to a spray of 'Pledge' instead of hairspray, rushing madly to get out to work. This might have gone on for ever had my daughter not noticed and asked what I was doing! Both canisters, similar colours, in bathroom cabinet.

Some years back my husband couldn't find his glasses. We searched everywhere to no avail. Then he looked at his mother, who had been helping us search, and found them - she was wearing them!

Poor you.

tattygran, I talked to my cats like that all the time. I was once telling a tale to one of them who was curled up in the corner of the sofa, till I realised I was talking to my black peg bag.

I have just heard myself carefully explaining to my cat that one pouch of his rejected cat food cost the equivalent of 16 Mars bars when I was a child. And I'm not even sure that I got the sums right!

I put hair remover gel on my toothbrush luckily smelt it!

They had a nice rinse then! Fret not.

When dd1 was only about 10 days old, I left her in her pram in Boots, having completely forgotten that I had her.
Luckily I was meeting my mother shortly afterwards and her horrified ‘Where’s the baby??’ sent me whizzing back to retrieve her, aghast, but nobody had twigged, phew.

My son has worn glasses since a baby. I used to get so weary of pulling them off to clean smudges, then hurriedly popping them back on, until the day I firmly planted them squarely on top of the dog's nose, who never left my son's side.
Just yesterday my husband reheated and then poured left over cheese sauce onto his sticky toffee pudding. I'd used the jug more frequently used for custard.

It was the first time I had taken my baby out - it was 1964 and usual to leave babies in prams outside shops - without a member of staff! I did my shopping, went home, and then realised that my baby was still outside the shop!I rushed back, hoping that nobody had noticed,not wanting to be thought a bad mother after only 2 weeks!

On a car journey stopped in a lay-by for lunch and let the dog out. Set off again but several miles down the road realised Topsy was very quite. We had forgotten her. Apprehensively went back but she was sitting watching every car that passed.

I tried to remove nail polish using mouthwash! Thank goodness I didn't do it the other way round and try to rinse my mouth using nail polish remover.

Many years ago when the DC were all at school, I left home in a hurry to collect them and we walked home via the park and swings as it was a nice day. It wasn't until I opened the door and smelt a curious burnt smell that I remembered I'd left some eggs on to boil. The saucepan was deformed and the eggs had exploded. There was egg shell embedded in the soft coving around the kitchen ceiling.

My life skills haven't overly improved. Last week I put the cover on the back of our little boat as we were leaving while DH took a couple of things back to the car. This week we went to go for a trip out in her and discovered that, although I'd put the cover on perfectly, I'd left the door wide open inside. (This despite having the key hooked onto my finger)

A neighbour knocked at mine to collect a very large package that I had taken in for her, according to the courier card.
It turned out that my upstairs neighbour had it, but had forgotten her flat number when he asked her.

She checked by looking at her door, but one digit had fallen off, making it the same as my number.

Love these...
Getting ready for my smear test, borrowed my daughters intimate deodorant. Got to the doc, you know the way you are lying there saying tell me something funny to take my mind of what’s happening down there. When he laughed and replied I love someone with a sense of humour. Didn’t know what he meant till I went to the toilet afterwards and discovered ...yep you’ve guessed it I had used my daughters spray glitter for her hair instead of the deodorant.???

Made my daughter a G&T and forgot to put the gin in! She wasn't impressed!
