Blunder... Bizzare... Blooper....

Before I begin, 2 things. 1, i cant stop laughing when i write this and 2, I hope it brings a smile once the read is done with. The reason for this write was an incident that happened in the morning. That incident is discribed at the fag end of the blog.. but because of that incident I thought long and hard of other incidents that I could recall where I have goofed up big time!!! So here we go.... Ive re-called a few incidents and ranked them from 1 to 3. The countdown begins...

3. BLUNDER:
Time: Junior KG. Setting: Small classroom in St.Anne's High School, Orlem, Malad. Question: So who of you children have brothers or sisters. I was the first to raise my hand. Slowly my other classmates also raised their hands. I looked around, almost everyone had a sibling. Next Question: How many of you have sisters? I raised my hand again. The teacher looked at me awkwardly, said "Ashley, you have a sister". I said "Yes, I have one sister and 1 brother". Teacher goes, "Ok, so what is your sisters name?". I go, "Premila". The teacher grins at me and says 'Ok'.
Here's what happened. The teacher knew my family very well. She was from my neighbourhood. She knew I did not have any sisters. Premila, was my Moms younger sister. She used to always take care of me and I till then (Junior KG) thought she was my SISTER!! Some days later, my Mom was in school and my teacher made it sure she told her that I think Premila is my sister. Think about it, Aunt Premila, took so much care of me then that I always thought she was my elder sister.

2. BIZZARE:
Time: Today Morning, woke up at 2 PM. Ok, it was technically afternoon. Actually, I was awake at 5 to watch Adrian in action against Argentina. We lost in extra time. Anyways, back to my morning time. Woke up, had a brush and headed straight to the kitchen for some nice filling breakfast. I took the bowl, added a whole bunch of cereal and opened the fridge. Took the carton of milk, kept at the daily place and added it in the bowl, until my cereal was buried in the white liquid. Took my bowl and spoon to my bed. Sat comfortably! Laptop ready, and YUCK!!!! WTF! What happened to the milk? The first reaction was to check the spoon, if it was clean? yiiiecks! What the hell was wrong here... why did it taste so damn wierd. Took another spoonful, it tasted unusual. My roomie, Manish was talking to me. I did not listen to him, but wondered, what the hell was wrong here. I was sure the MILK was spoilt and I was the unfortunate person to have had to taste it. Swallowed the second spoon of cereal and kept the bowl nearby. Thats when I realised the problem. What i poured, thinking was MILK was actually BUTTER MILK that my friend had bought last night. I had happily drowned my cereal in butter milk and hence the weird taste. Now that I knew it was not spoilt milk, nor was the spoon dirty, i finished the entire bowl, happily enjoing my cereal and laughing about the incident with Manish.

1, BLOOPER:
Time: Sometime in Pune. Its a cold chilly morning. And as always, your truly is running late to make it to work. My bus arrives at 8:08 AM, it was like 7:35 and I just reached the wash basin. I took the brush put some paste. And started brushing. Soon i got a feeling, something is wrong with my mouth. Or was it the brush, or was it the toothpaste. I did not know what, but something was surely wrong. This did not feel right. The feeling was like you are driving a car, and the brakes wont work. You know something is wrong. But you cant really pin point the issue. But my problem was not very tough. It was no brake failure. It was just a weird taste in my mouth. So the first thing i did is checked the toothpaste! And what i seen is unbelievable. It was not bloody toothpast, what I was brushing with was ODOMOS!!! Lolz!!!! For those souls who are unware, Odomos, is a cream which is used to keep mosquitos away. To be frank, till that date I had not even used Odomos on my body and here I was, my mouth full of odomos cream. And I did not know what to do. Laugh? or Spit it all out? Or tell my roomie and then spit!!!!! Well I did the most sane thing I could think of and spat it all out. Gargled for like 5 more minutes. Cleant my brush as if it had fallen into the gutter. Put some COLGATE on the bursh, burshed well. I checked the time, thanks to this misdemeanor I was gonna be late to work. So i skipped my shower and rushed to the stop. All day, I kept thinking of what a fool I was. Brushing with Odomos!!!

Well, we all come across incidents like these. For once we dont know whether we should laugh or take corrective action. But these incidents stay put in out minds for the rest of our lives and bring a smile anytime anywhere!

Till the next blooper... Bye...
