I should just keep my mouth shut sometimes.....
Convo with the hubs while watching Monday Night Football. I swear, I am not a dumb person I just sometimes say very dumb things!
Me: Why the heck are the Bills and Pats in retro uniforms and why are the refs in those gawd awful orange-ish uniforms?!? Seriously, those referee uniforms are not doing any favors for those refs.
Hubs: {intently watching football.....tuning out my rambling}
Me: {I see the anniversary logo on the field} OH!!!!! It's the AFL's anniversary! That makes sense now!
Hubs: {looks at me, rolls his eyes and turns back to the action on TV}
Me: {continuing my convo with apparently myself and the dogs} Wow! So, the AFL has been around for 150 years?!?
Hubs: {snaps out of his trance and looks at me like I am crazy} Ummmm.......that means that they were playing football in 1859. What do you think Laura?!?
Me: Well, they did wear those archaic looking leather helmets and frumpy uniforms. I don't think that sounds completely unreasonable.
Hubs: {shakes his head and laughs out loud} You are so cute!
Today I looked up US events from 1859 (thanks Wikipedia). I immediately felt pretty silly (okay, downright stupid).
And this story is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the stupid things I say! I really need to work on thinking things through logically before I open my mouth.
