It's here, it's here! It's April 1st, time to turn those calendars (HARD!) and kick-off a fresh, new month with a blogging challenge, yes?!? Especially, since I sort of triple-dog dared my friend Patti at Easton Place Designs to join me in posting…every day…for the next 30 days…and Patti has already published her first #NaBloPoMo post, early this morning.
Gosh, but I love it when my friends get all bloggity and stuff!
However, if you're like me (figuratively speaking, because not many people can handle THAT much dork) and are frequented by bouts of writer's block (because, TEENS!), my friends at BlogHer have published daily writing prompts to help us blog along with this month's theme: SCANDAL.
Today's prompt: what's the most scandalous thing you've ever done?
Well, there was that one time I propositioned a total stranger, right in front of my husband, while we were waiting to take a PATH train into the World Trade Center for work. I happened to be nearly 8 months pregnant, at the time.
True story! It's okay, my kids know about it. It also happens to be one of their favorite stories, in a long line of dorky escapades, that have helped me to earn my rightful place, as Queen of the Dorks.
Long story, short: I was standing on the platform next to my husband, who walked away while I wasn't looking, and then I turned to whisper in his ear, "I cannot WAIT to get you home, tonight!"
Except, it wasn't my husband who answered.
"Really?!?"
I turned, stared into the stranger's eyes and almost gave birth…right then and there…in the middle of Newark Penn Station and everything.
"OMG!!! I'm sorry, I thought you were my husband, I SWEAR!!!"
The guy did seem rather amused, although not ROFLHAO like Garth (not his real name), at the time and ohhhhhh how the kids laugh…and laugh…at that story, still.
"Seriously, you thought he was Dad?!? Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!"
Although it isn't the most scandalous thing I have ever done, because my teens sometimes read my blog…my dad, too…it IS one of the dorkiest moments in my life and, well, don't be too jealous, okay?!?
[sound of crickets, chirping]
Hey, LOOK OVER THERE, isn't that Kerry Washington?!?
[SLAM!]
Stupid near-sightedness, dumbass dork-worthy moments.
