A Story!

I was recently asked to share a funny or embarrassing story about myself, and the following is what I shared. I hope my mom won't be too upset, but she has a good sense of humor, so I'm hoping she will get a laugh out of this trip down memory lane...

Here goes:  

When I was around 10 or 11, my mom asked me to call in sick for her at work. I'm not sure why she thought that was a good idea, but my mom was only 30 at the time, so maybe she was just young and dumb. I had recently read an article in People magazine about a rock star who had over-dosed, and was found in a hotel having "defecated" all over himself. I thought that "defecated" meant "vomited", so, when I called into my mom's office and spoke to her supervisor, I said "Hi. This is Justine's daughter. I am calling to let you know my mom can't come to work today. She is sick. She defecated all over herself." Really. I swear. When I told my mom what I said, I think she said some expletives and told me the correct definition of the word in question. Lesson: Teach your kids vocabulary words, and, do your own calling!

Outfit:

I have said that my outfit's will get wackier as I go along and today I am proving it!

Body suit: Thrift store. Star Cody.

Dress: Goodwill. Old Navy. I fashioned it to make it more fun. I am loving the gray/red combo!

I threw the sweater on because it was cold in the morning and afternoon by the beach! I've worn it several times now!

Shoes: Predictions.

Leo post eye doctor. His eyes were dilated, so they gave him these shades!
