I don't know whether I should post this here or in the members forum as an example of how diseased my brain is lately. I went out the other night to put some more food on the bird table so it would be well-stocked for the morning. The birds are awake and looking for food at 5am. I alas, am not, so I put the food out late at night. I was heading up to the bird table and saw something on it, merrily eating away. It was a little wood mouse, enjoying the bird seed. But, and this is the embarrassing part, my first thought was OMG! How did Charlie get out here!
Charlie is in a closed tank on the upper floor of the house. I'd seen him there just a few minutes previously!

Still, it's nice to know that the bird table even gets used at night.

Cute story! From your title I thought a member of his family had come to fetch him from you. But I guess real life is not much like a cartoon movie.

I have brain farts too. Can we do another brain fart thread? My latest one is this. I buy Dr. B's soap by the gallon, but I have one of the small jars on hand to refill into to leave in the tub. Anyway somehow the lid of my small one cracked a bit around the edges (I guess I dropped it one too many times), so I bought a new small jar. And waited until I used up my old one. Eh, this is getting to be too long a description for a small incident. Suffice to say, it took me over two weeks to realize that all I had to do was trade the caps. Rolling Eyes

My most common one is like this.

"Hi honey! I'm downtown!"
"That's nice."
"Why am I here?"
"You're going to the post office to get more stamps."
"Oh. Thank you!"

Thank you Arvay. It makes me feel so much better to know I'm not the only one. Mr. Green

Actually, I think I'll move this to the members forum, I have other equally embarrassing examples.
