OK, so I am a little behind on memory Monday, but I will work on catching up. I chose to start with the driving memory. I felt like this would give me the opportunity to clear up a little story that has been SO misconstrued over the years. This is not my first driving experience but a very memorable one.
So it goes like this:
On my way to work one day, I was sitting at a stop light in a long line of traffic creeping along. I was playing with my keys listening to the music when I scratched my finger. Now I know that you think you know the rest of the story BUT this where all of you were misinformed! I didn't just yelp in my best sissy voice, begin nursing my poor ol' finger and completely forget what I was doing to the point where I rear ended the car in front of me. What REALLY happened was that I started investigating the steering column to find what was sharp. Not paying attention I apparently let just enough pressure off the brake and slowly rolled forward not even more than 2 miles per hour (if that) and bumped into the lady in front of me. The problem arose when I realized what was happening I was very slow at reacting and bounced off her bumper about 4 or 5 more time before I brought the car to a complete stop.
After all these years I finally got an opportunity to tell mom the real story and she laughed so hard she spit her lemonade all over me! But, I felt better despite the lemonade because I finally got to clarify what happened when I was 16! And now that you all know the real story I feel even better :)

You are hilarious.
Why would you feel better? You still wrecked the car!
And THAT is the rest of the story!
i wrecked my family car when i was 14. my sister knew she would get in more troube for giving me keys than wrecking the car herself, so thats how the story went for a decade. the truth has since come out, but it's funny how as an adult, it's comical!
