Proof of Idiocy

I have some real humdingers sometimes. Let's just ignore the fact that I have developed a stuttering stammer over the past few weeks that isn't due to nervousness or even excitement necessarily. While it does assist in making me come across rather idiotic at times (like when Grandpa was in the hospital...I found myself unable to speak to the nurses at times because of the inarticulateness of my speech. Most of the time, I didn't even bother because I knew I'd start in sounding like a confirmed kook)...but anyway, that is not the subject of this post.

I was talking about "humdingers", not slips of the tongue and repeated syllables. As I alluded to, I sometimes say some very stupid things. Most of the time, it is completely accidental...or simply carelessness. This evening's side-splitter though was neither exactly.

I was trying to describe how the shin of my right leg feels...and so I asked Savannah, "Do you ever feel like your muscle is stuck to your shin-bone?"

Well. Duh. 

I collapsed onto a chair laughing as the import of what I had just said hit me.

I was able, after a getting some air back into my lungs, to re-phrase that idiotic statement. By "stuck to", I was referring more to a feeling of tightness--for instance, how your skin feels when you get glue on it. That type of constricted feeling.  

But anyway...if anyone ever tells you that Racheal is a bit of a idgit when it comes to her similes...go right ahead and agree with them...
