If I Only Had A Brain...

Ditziness has reached an all new low. I was in the mall parking lot, taking the stroller out of the trunk of the car. It wasn't until I slammed down the lid that I realized the keys were in there. Fortunately the car wasn't locked, so I took Eva out of her car seat and called Dave to ask him to bring a spare key. He called his sister, who was heading in my direction anyway. She stopped by the house to get my spare key and met me in front of JC Penney. Aunt Nanci to the rescue! The next day I was telling my friend Jessica about it when she asked, "why didn't you just pop the trunk from the driver's side?" I was stunned: that had never occurred to me. She laughed hysterically into the phone, and Dave overheard our conversation and started howling. How could I be that dense? Baby took my brain. I'm more convinced than ever.
