Wanting to share one of many of our funny times here in the Moore family household! :)
This morning Levi and Mom set out to take him to school. We were doing great with time which was an added plus when I saw that my gas tank was still on empty from the previous day before. I then had to decide whether to risk it by going on to school or stop and get gas. Levi spoke up and made the decision for me saying "Mom - go get gas at Chevron." So, being the good Mom, I did as told and drove to what I thought was Chevron. . . . which turned out to be Shell instead. As we are pulling in, Levi speaks up and says "Mom, I told you to go to Chevron." and I say "O well, where's that?" Annnd Levi says "The other direction. It's by Culvers, Mom." Ah yes! To explain myself here, we NORMALLY go to WalMart for gas, and even though Chevron is just a stones throw from our house (well almost) I don't think of it. :)
Once we pull up to the gas pump, I ask dear son if he would pump the gas being as though Mom is in PJs. He accepts and takes my credit card. I wasn't sure if he had ever done that part of the procedure so I ask him if he needs help to which he tells me no. So I sit. While sitting. . . I hear this "O CRAP. It won't let me put anymore gas in the car and it's barely a gallon in now." I turn my head to see what is going on and he is seming to be confused saying something about the pump shut off because he squeezed the handle too hard. He then takes my credit card and attepts to make another transaction. While he is doing this I can hear him saying "no....no" and pressing buttons. I have no clue at this point what this boy is putting on my card!! He gets it going once again and we are back to a good start. I say "start" because after just a bit here we go again....."Mom, he's laughing now) it happened again! I don't know why it won't let me squeeze the handle down!" ........ "Mom, come here." Ok, Mom, who is still in PJs has to come to aid. I open my door and for some reason my car starts dinging at me. I look down, key is in my hand, I shut door. I open door, car begins dinging once again, I shut door. I look all around wondering what the heck is making this car ding like that?!?! Then I ask myself - does my car ding everytime I open my door and just don't realize it?? I mean I've only HAD this car for 8 years now. . .you would think I know my car by now!! So while Mom is sitting there opening and shutting her door trying to figure things out - son begins to figure his own problems out. He says "Mom, nevermind...." FINALLY, we have gas in the car, boy is in car, hopefully the double transactions did right, and Mom is still sitting there ..... in her PJs.....wondering "Why did this silly car ding at me?" But off we go! As we are going down road towards school, I go back through our neigborhood. Funny sidenote here: I've been known as the person who only has 1 way there and 1 way back wherever I'm going regardless. (Although I indeed HAVE learned more than 1 way most places...it's still a standing joke.) At this time, son speaks up and says "Mom, why didn't you go just straight down the road and turn later on West Lake Houston Rd? I say "O yeah....there is another way!"
Ah well.....it was a longer way to take ...... cuz I told David about it later. ; )
So as I get boy to school and on time (thank ya very much) I travel back home. As I do, I notice headlights shining on the garage door....coming from my car. Ah-Ha! it was my lights on that caused my car to ding when I opened the door.....but WHO turned my lights on?? The mystery continues. . . ; )
Later this afternoon, I told Levi that I was writing a Blog about our funny morning, to which he replys "What happned this morning that was so funny??"
Ok - so it was funny to me!! : ))
Lately, my David has had this saying regarding me. He tells me as he smiles "You're gonna be one funny old lady/grandma....I can already tell."
Got news for ya . . . . I already am!! : )
He has said before too. . ."You'll be pushin me in the wheelchair and I'll be tellin ya where to go." LOL! :)
Laughter is good for the soul......keep laughing my friend!
