Need A Moment...aka, Is My Face Red?

I don't know if you are familiar with the Twix Candy Bar commercial where something embarrassing is said and the person stuffs a Twix Candy Bar in their mouth so they won't have to say anything about the embarrassing moment.  Well let's just say I had such a moment today when I went to pick Coleen up from school.

I found her in the Classroom talking with her teacher along with 2 other little girls who just happen to be Chinese and Twins.  Apparently the girls had been bossing Coleen and she got upset with them and blurted out in Class that they were "Idiots!" - Well that of course in not acceptable behavior so the teacher was trying to explain to Coleen that you shouldn't call people names even if you are upset with them.  I was standing right behind Coleen (although she didn't realize that I had come into the classroom)  She's trying to explain her actions to the teacher and this is what came out of her mouth...

"My Grandma says, Chinese people aren't very smart!" - Oh my gosh, I nearly died right there on the spot.  I was like, "Coleen Maleah!  Grandma said no such thing."

"Yes you did Grandma." - She went on to explain that at some point in the kitchen one night I mentioned that something was Made In China and that I said it wasn't made very good. - In her mind that meant,
Chinese people aren't very smart.

The teacher was rather amused by the whole thing and she said, "Isn't it funny how they interpret things?"  Funny....Well I'm not sure about that, Embarrassing, Yes!  - I think I feel the need to eat a Twix Candy bar coming on!

Grandma's Glasses

Well today started out fairly normal....

Then I went to put my glasses on so I could walk Coleen to school and said glasses were no where to be found.

Normally every night before I go to bed I put them in the drawer of the nightstand on my side of the bed.

I look in the drawer and, no glasses.

I search the bathroom thinking that I may have put them on when I got up and left them on the counter when I took my shower.  No glasses.  So I ask Coleen if she's seen them. "No Grandma."
So then I think well maybe I left them in my Office last night and forgot to bring them into the bedroom when I went to bed.  I hurry in to see if the glasses are there, no glasses to be found.  Of course I don't see well without my glasses so I'm having a hard time finding them.

Coleen is getting nervous and asks, "Grandma, are you getting frustrated?"
Yes, Yes I am.  I can't see without my glasses."
I call my mom and she comes over to help locate the missing glasses.
We look under the bed with the flashlight thinking that maybe the cats knocked them off the nightstand and drug them under the bed.  Nope, no glasses.  It's getting later and Coleen needs to get to school so I'm thinking I may have to walk her without my glasses.

Coleen:  "Grandma,  Who's going to call the school and tell them that my Grandma can't find her glasses?"

I'm thinking, "No One because who wants people thinking that I'm some crazy old Grandma who can't remember where she put her glasses!"

Finally I remember that I took them off after watching a televsion show and I recall putting them in a drawer of the nightstand like I normally do.  So I open the bottom drawer (where I NEVER put my glasses) and what do you know, that's where they were!  All is right now in Grandma's world and Coleen makes it to school on time, just as the bell is ringing for everyone to head to their classes.

Whew....what a morning!
