SPT- What was I thinking?

This was a hard one for me- Because I couldn't figure out which one of those moments to choose! Yes, there have been many "What was I thinking moments" in my life! So I decided to tell you three.

1) Picture high school, bleachers, in gym. We are all waiting for something to happen and we are all getting bored. The boy in front of me starts pitching rolled up balls of paper at me. All the sudden I just snap. I run down the bleachers, ball up my fist and bunch him full in the face. Just as my fist connects, I think, "What am I thinking?" and pull up. I walk back to my seat feeling extremely stupid. That is the only "fight" I was ever in at school!

2) Ok, now picture high school, hallway. I am a Junior. The Senior boys are all sitting on the window sill just down the hall and laughing and talking. I notice there is a mirror on the ground. Someone should pick that mirror up before it gets broke! None the less, I continue walking in a straight line towards it. I even walk over it, then walk around a corner. A burst of laughter from the Senior boys and then at that precise moment, my mind finally starts working at normal speed instead of slow mode and I realize what they were doing! Uh, duh, "What was I thinking?"

3) Now we are in Church lots of years and many babies later. I am in the nursing lounge with a bunch of other mothers. It is a young ward. Someone mentions that one of the ladies skirts is really pretty and she says that she thinks it makes her look fat. They all start saying how she looks great and I pipe in to add my two cents, "you look like you need to eat something!" Everything goes dead silent. I have no idea why I said that, but it was true. Two weeks later I learned how true it was. The girl had gone home to be with her mom, because she was suffering from anorexia. Whoops! I had no idea, but still, "What was I thinking?" That is one of my better Foot in Mouth stories!

Oh, and I just have to put this one in. I never have been very daring with my cloths, so I don't have a lot of mile high hair, bicycle shorts under short skirts, or leg warmer pictures- I refused to do that kind of thing, but this definitely fits into the category of "What was I thinking?" As Meg Ryan as Kathleen Kelly on You've Got Mail says about a butterfly that she believes is going to Bloomindales to buy a hat, "that will turn out to be a mistake as almost all hats are."
