PSA: Shopping without a car
If you go shopping after work for, oh, I don't know, bed sheets and clothes, say, and you don't have a car make sure you have your wallet with you in the first place.

Because if you don't you won't just be embarrassed. You'll also be walking more than grammas at the mall at daybreak as you walk home to get the wallet, walk back to pay for the stuff, and walk home again with your stuff.

Learn from my absent-mindedness so you won't waste an hour on a Friday. Ok? Ok.

That is all. :hi:

1. I've done that!
I always keep one credit card in my coat pocket for those just in case moments where I'm an idiot and I dont bring the whole wallet.

5. Ah. See now that makes sense!
I think I'm going to follow your lead.

2. It could be worse. You could've forgotten your pants. -NT

3. I don't want to know how many times I've done that.
Or forgot my cel phone (I have to have it on me for work so that's a big no-no) or my keys. The worst was walking 45 minutes from home and finding out the hard way I'd forgot to stock the diaper bag- my son was allergic to disposables so we had to go home and get more diapers rather than just buying some at the nearest store, so we walked home with his ass wrapped in his Dad's undershirt and a Safeway bag.

6. Oh no! Poor kid.
But it's kind of funny when you tell the story. You should tell it again on Lefty-Kid's prom night. :D

7. Is that before or after I break out the blackmail pics?

8. See if you can find a way to do both at the same time.
"Now this picture of my little super-hero was taken just a few years after the day we had to walk home with his ass in a safeway bag."

That picture is adorable. :rofl:

4. Think of the exercise!
A few more senior moments like this and you'll be in super shape.
