My derp moment of the week

in Chit-Chat
So yesterday, I was out with my younger daughter. My older daughter was supposed to be at home. When we get there the youngest runs in the house and comes back to announce that her sister was not there. I was somewhat concerned, but not in a complete panic. I mean, she is a teen, not a little kid. So I sent the youngest to different neighbors' houses while I called several of her friends. I was beginning to get upset and so was the youngest.

Then, it occurred to me to find the laptop for some reason. It wasn't in the living room where it usually is. Then, I thought it might be in my daughter's bedroom. She takes it to her room a lot when she uses it. Then, I tried to remember if I saw it in her room when I went in there looking for her. Then, I remembered that I never actually went in there looking for her...

And that is where I found her. :embarassed:

Who loses their kid inside their own house? Derp.

What was your derp moment of the week?

    Oh geez! I'd probably do that, too. My derp moment? You ready? I went to the gas station to fill my gas can, came home, filled the gas tank on my lawnmower, went to start it and realized I just filled the tank on my broken lawnmower. The one that works was in the back yard. :ohwell:

    Yeah, gas is useful... in functioning equipment. :laugh:

    Unfortunately though, that wasn't a good enough derp moment to make me feel better about my own stupidity. Thanks for trying though. LOL! :flowerforyou:

    I did try! I'm thinking of getting a turkey baster to suck the gas out. I'm not siphoning it with my mouth.

    Happened to me the other day. It was awfully quiet in the house and I didnt see my sons sneakers (he usually takes them off). When its nice out he likes to do things like go fishing, play basketball with friends, or like yesterday he went for a run.

    Time went by and it was getting late. I texted him to see what he was up to............ No answer. Finally I happened to go into his room (where the door was closed) and he was in there passed out sleeping.

    It happens.

    guilty of doing that at least once while fishing .....but i guess that is better than bird nesting your bait caster! ....(yeah guilty again) ....or hooking the bank behind you when fly fishing because you have too much line out. (yep ..here again)

    sigh..damn it .i should just give up fishing ....makes me look like a complete Herp Derp huh?

    I generally don't take my youngest kid's word as truth when she says she can't find something.

    I think siphoning with my mouth would make a more interesting video. :wink:

    I'm from Wisconsin, so in winter, I start my car a bit before I leave for work so it can warm up. Went out to start the car, walked past the running car to get the dog and bring her out for a potty break. Walk back past the running car to bring the dog in and then proceed to spend the next 5 minutes looking for my car keys! Derp...
