Then I Opened my Mouth

I was scanning for blogs yesterday. I found several that made me laugh, hysterically.
So women of blogland, keep it up. We do have a sense of humor and life has taught us to take things not so serious.
We can laugh at ourselves, our utter innocence is the best weapon we have.
I use my innocence on a regular basis.
Sometimes it is not intentional, OK it is seldom intentional.
I guess I could be called AirHead.

A few years ago my Brother in Law, (who was a minister) was talking to my husband and me. We were all in the kitchen, We were discussing how times had changed and how different ways of life were entering into our world. Even down to the animals.
We began discussing Dogs. Apparently he had read an article on a Cat house.
He began telling my husband, "You know they even have a Cat House for Dogs."
Me and my innocence, (won't call it ignorance) stood there thinking, "Wow that is nice for the dogs but how about the poor cats?,"
I could picture these dogs chasing cats and loving it and the place having perches for the cats to jump on. Cats thinking "Hey I bet you cant climb up here."
Then I opened my mouth.
I do open my mouth at the wrong time.
I said, "I can see that, Dogs do love to chase cats."
A roar of laughter broke out in the room. I just did not see what I had said that was so funny.
Then they told me.
(In case you are as innocent as me, A cat house is where Dogs can have fun any time they want.)
I immediately ducked behind the counter and hid my face. I began laughing and said, "I think that is stupid." I was as RED as a beet.
Embarrassed? YES, but glad I was Nieve, Yes. You bet.
MY oldest son, who at the time was maybe 16 was in the room, he reminded me of that little snafu, He told me I should have put it in my life story.
Life story, Hey that book was only the beginning. I have many More stores to tell. Believe me I will.
When I was a young teen, I was sitting in the back yard. We had trees on the east side of the house, and birds lived there.
One day, (with a yard full of Aunts and Uncles) I saw two birds "fighting".
I opened my mouth.
"Hey look at those two birds fighting. Why do they fight in mid-air?"
My older sister was embarrassed. I heard snickering.
Later she told me they in fact were not fighting they were mating.
DARN IT, Again embarrassed because I opened my mouth.
Neive Sue.
Lately my husband had a birthday party, or a celebration of 70 years on this beautiful Earth.
As someone gave him a gift, My friend walked over to me. She said, "Ron did not know what to get David, He said, David has Sue what else does he need?"
Ron teases me on my bargains I get, I look for bargains and our contractors gave me lots of extra for our home.
David said, "All I need is a Muzzle."
He meant for me.
I laughed and now I believe he is right. I could just shut up sometime, listen and learn.
