While at a Bachelorette party this past Saturday night,
we all took turns buying rounds of bevs at the bar.
Common practice. Makes life simple. All are happy :)
When it was my turn, I memorized the order and recited it in my head umpteen times so not to forget. I weaseled my way through the crowded bar and waited my turn, only to go completely blank when the bartender yelled, "What are you having?"
"Ummmmmmm, ummmmmmmmm, ahhhhhhhh"
"Ummmmmmm, ummmmmmmmm, ahhhhhhhh"
I replied :S
It was as if my mind could not make word pairs.
That all the sudden, my bestie couples: "Bud" & "Light" and
"Gin" & "Tonic" were not at (or on) the tip of my tongue.
So this morning, when my new class of 4 & 5 year old munchkins arrived and we all went around the circle saying our name and favorite animal -- I was entirely empathetic to the "Uhhhhhh"s and "Ummmmmmmmm"s as my little short friends temporarily forgot their names for a hot sec. I wanted to be like, "I feel your pain buddy -- been there too -- we're more alike than you think ;)"
