I managed to drive to Nana's house to pick up Shane WITHOUT a car-seat.
In GURPS terms: I failed multiple IQ checks.
Carrie and I switched cars today. I had to remove my laptop from the Prius and I stuck it in the back seat of the Volvo.
IQ check to see if I noticed there is no car seat next to my work bag: FAILED!
When I got to work, I did not reach back for my bag. I got out and opened the back door.
IQ check to see if I noticed there is no car seat next to my work bag: FAILED!
Even more ironically, I knew exactly where the Volvo's car seat was. I moved it when I was cleaning the garage out on Saturday. I remember thinking "I'll put it here so it's in plain sight, but far enough back no one will back into it."
IQ check to go ahead and put the car-seat in while I was thinking about it: FAILED!
Maybe this is only really funny to me, but this is the verse of the day I read earlier.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
—1 Corinthians 1:27
Does that mean I'm wise? Because I make my fair share of simple screw-ups.
It keeps me humble and it's worth a good laugh, so I thought I'd share. I don't want to risk anyone mistaking my rugged good looks and amazing ability to do the right thing as meaning I'm more than a mere mortal.
