We all have blonde moments -- it's just human nature. Some of us (me) even have them far too often to be called moments. But let's be honest, without blonde moments the world would probably be a bit smarter, but also a lot more boring. Although having a blonde moment doesn't make you dumb, I think it adds character. I have found these to be my latest top 10, and I hope you enjoy.
10. My mother called to tell me to check my email, and I said, "Okay, I will when I find my phone!"
She replied, "Megan! You're talking on it!"
9. One evening, on the ride home from a 4-H event, the whole van was full of kids.
Suddenly, my nose started bleeding. I asked for a napkin and, of course, we had none left. I quickly checked the first-aid kits for anything that might help. All I could find remotely close was a tampon, so in the event of trying to stop my face from bleeding, I didn't think that my left nostril would be swollen the rest of the night. The younger boys, of course, had to ask their moms for one the next time they had a nose bleed, and I had to explain to the parents what the "white thing with a tail shoved in my nose" was. For the record, it totally worked and I'd do it again if I had to.
8. I was on the way to the zoo with my friend and her parents when her oh-so-hilarious father decided to tell a blond corn maze joke.
I didn't get the punch line at first, I will admit, but after five minutes of me thinking and an assured explanation, I got it. This joke has, of course, now been brought up numerous times since then, and I just laugh it off.
7. I was making tea on the stove, and I left it to boil while I got ready.
When I went back to the kitchen, all of the water had evaporated and the tea bags were on fire. Needless to say, I owed my mother a new pan, and I'm not allowed to leave the kitchen while tea is boiling.
6. I was taking a quick shower and jumped out to hurry and get dressed so I wouldn't be late for class.
Once I got out, I realized I had only shaved one leg. (This information arrived after I had been sitting in class for 30 minutes.)
5. When I was younger my aunt's kitchen caught on fire.
My younger cousin and I just watched it burn for a while before saying anything. (Not sure if we were fascinated by the flames, or just shocked!) We get teased at every family function for this.
4. The other night, my boyfriend called me beautiful.
And I said, "You are man beautiful -- wait, what do you call the man version of beautiful?" He just laughed and said, "Um, handsome?"
3. I have a candle warmer in my room, and it was time to replace the wax.
So I melted it down and thought it would slide right down the toilet. Little did I know, it actually cooled and hardened in the toilet. Well, $3.88 and a trip to Walmart later I was in the clear, but with a small lecture.
2. During livestock judging practice, my teacher, Mr. Wilson, asked us where the stifle was.
I said, "In the head!" He had just given us the, "It doesn't matter if you're completely wrong as long as you say it with confidence and defend your point" speech. Of course, I know where the stifle is now, even if I don't remember any other part.
1. The other night my boyfriend and I were riding back from Athens.
I felt a breeze and heard a noise, so I asked him if my window was cracked or if my door was opened because there was air hitting me. He turns, looks at me, and says, "Honey, the air is on."
