A moment in time

Describe one of your favorite moments.

Wow, this is broad. Lol so many good ones to consider!

One day, it was made clear to me that i sometimes make the assumption that people will just know what is in my head. And this occurred in hilarious fashion…

I was about 11, maybe 12. My mom showed me how to work my new alarm clock, and something wasn’t clicking in my head. We went about our day, and were sitting down to watch something on tv after dinner. all of a sudden, all the pieces fell together and i understood what she was trying to show me earlier.

all excited, i blurt out, “oh, so you just (insert random thing here) and as long as the light is on i’m good, right?” my mother burst out laughing asking me what the hell i was talking about. i told her i meant the alarm clock, like she should have known that’s what was in my head. we both started laughing hysterically when she said, “that was this morning; you’re still thinking about that?!”
