Of course, this is the same brother who came home from his first day of first grade and told my mom that he'd learned the Pledge of Allegiance. He put his chubby little hand over his chubby little chest, puffed up and said, "We led the pigeons to the flag of the United States of America..." Oh, do I have book fodder. :angel: It was funny.

It was funny! Kimberly, how funny! I can remember my little sister telling everyone in first grade that her mother only cooked spaghetti for dinner and always served it with mashed potatoes. My mom was mortified.:bighair: Oh, Ginger! So glad you weren't hurt! Eek, Kathy. I can't believe he answered it! Send that sucker to voicemail. Danniele, I tend to block mine out as well. :chair: Andrea, too funny! And Kim, OMG!!! That's hysterical. Lynne, I have laughed so hard that I've snorted before, too. It happens. :angel: And that's too funny about your little brother. Mine once pitched a fit in church when the offering plate came by. The only way my mom could get him to go was by telling him they'd have lots of good food at the social afterward. The offering plate comes by and Mom's given him some money to put in. Mom nudges him and he bellows, "What have we got to pay now for! They may not even have anything that I like!" :bighair: Susan, glad you laughed! It was funny!

The worst ever, though, was in a college class many years ago when hubby made me laugh so hard I snorted. Left the class and didn't go back that session. I did go to the next session, though. *sigh* :oops: Kim, my brother once went and told the neighbors that we never ever had dessert (he was eyeing the cake she'd just baked) and that we ate cornbread and beans every night. She gave him a piece of cake and laughingly called my mother. Mom was NOT amused and little brother heard about it later. :arrrrgh: No embarrassing moments recently, thank heavens!

I make a HUGE stink the first night of classes informing my students to turn off anything that rings, chirps or beeps. One night, I kept hearing a beep from someone's phone--you know, like the Message Waiting beep or Low Battery beep. Many dirty looks at the class later, I finally sighed dramatically and asked "WHOSE phone is that?" They took great pleasure in saying "Yours." :hitting: That happened to me as well.

Harped on it. A jerk, really. About 20 minutes into his speech, a phone started ringing. No one moved, terrified he'd call them out. The guy made some smart comment, but the phone kept ringing and no one budged. Then the speaker looked down and it was HIS phone. He was quite sheepish about it. Loved that. :clap: I went to a business seminar once where the speaker made this huge deal about turning off phones while he spoke. Harped on it. A jerk, really.

I leave my cell phone on when I go to church but since I leave it in the choir room, I'm never worried if it rings. The door is shut and no one will hear it. As a matter of fact, someone's phone rang during the service yesterday and I remember thinking how embarrassing that must have been. The fellow answered it, BTW, and told whoever it was he'd call them back. :shrug: That was embarrassing.

The good Lord was looking out for me... :loser:. Fortunately, I didn't hit anyone and noone hit me.... :cheer:. And boy, did I say a thankful prayer there and then and that night when saying my prayers. I just need to be a little more cautious. Have a great Monday.
