MEMORY -
I definitely got my clumsy habits from Uncle Pete. Pete's clumsiness came out to play while he lived a few houses down from us in Kissimmee, Fl. My Dad kept hounding him about his walls and how some areas needed some touch up paint. Peter wasn't exactly the handyman type, so this was a responsibility he would usually ignore in hopes Dad would come to the rescue. Pete must have been tired of hearing Dad complain, because he FINALLY took matters into his own hands.
Pete left the room to go get the paint in the garage. He came back and what a site to see!!!!!! Splattered from head to toe in white paint! Pete went on to explain that the lid to the paint can, it wasn't popped into place all the way! When he went to go shake the can to mix up the paint..... you guessed it ...... paint went EVERYWHERE! On his car, on his workbench, all over the garage, on his glasses ....... and of course, all over the "handyman" himself.
Mom and Dad bursted into laughter, then asked" Touched up a few things did ya Pete?"
APPLICATION -
Getting ready in a rush, I of course wasn't paying attention. Curling my hair with one hand and putting on lipstick with the other ..... not such a great idea. My thumb had slid across the HOT curling barrel and totally got burned. "CRAP!" I yelled. ( not the exact word I used at the time, but "crap" will work for now)
REFLECTION -
No matter what you do today, pay attention while doing it! Make sure you check before you shake and focus before you curl!!!! Clumsiness ...... definitely a shared trait between the both of us!
