Losing my phone - I seem to be very talented at this. My phone's been left on the floor at a New Years Eve Party, thrown out of my pocket on a epic wipeout on a ski slope, taken by a baby and hidden under a couch, and now sits in a lock box in Salt Lake Airport until said manager returns to open said box. You never know what phone numbers you DON'T have until you lose your phone.
Saying the wrong things at the right time - Sometimes it would be nice to have filters on my mind and my tongue, but then there would be no drama in my life. This way I can keep things exciting as I dodge the blow of my brother in law for saying something.
Pointing out the Obvious - see definition above. Standing, not realizing your husband is behind you saying, "I got that cute Abercrombie Shirt for my son on sale for 68.99." He then has a fit and proceeds to explain that a: they are still growing why buy expensive stuff and, b: The Target one looks exactly the same and c: Don't get him used to expensive brands early, we can't afford it.
Staining - I have the affinity for white, and usually the first day I wear it I spill something like Balsamic Vinegar, or Texas Pete Hot sauce or Easter Egg dye. Then I find out I am equally talented at not being able to get the stain out of my shirt. I am also equally talented and accidentally dropping a new pair of jeans in with stained shirt so I can wear it again.
Falling with style - I fall. Yes, I fall alot. But I've made it such an art form I've heard guys yell, "TEN" by the side of a ski slope. Other runners stepping over me by the side of the road. Finally, I've won the award for quickest get up off the ground/ego check on trail running. If you are going to fall, then fall with style is what I say.
Asking Silly Questions - since most of my family members consider the uterus to be a homing device, I'm always asked there things are when lost. One of my favorite answer is a question, "Where did you lose it?"
Selective Hearing - I am very good at looking directly at the person talking, looking enthusiastic, shaking my head, then repeating the last word of their sentence. Even when I have no clue what they are talking about. This condition steps up a notch in talent when talking about number..
Stalking - I'm a very good stalker on Facebook. Boy am I glad that there isn't an app to see who's viewed your profile - I'd be in a lot of trouble.
Embarrassing my children - this requires a lot of work, because children are very sneaky to get away from Mom when their friends are around. My saving grace is the carpool line where they have to wait outside with their friends, I can casually stick my head (with my cowboy hat) out the window and yell, "Come on little podna! We've got some wrasteling to do."
Being Me - finally, it's easy to conform to what other people think you should see/do/be, but I'm much better at being me. I'd rather be unique than be a clone. As Abraham Lincoln once said on the internet, "Be yourself, everyone else is taken."
What would you add to the list?
