Re: What's the worst thing you have ever forgotten?

Oh my! I just remembered something else that I forgot. Wow, that’s amazing!

My daughter and son-in-law live on the other side of town so when I go over for a visit I generally stay for an hour or two and make the trip worthwhile. This one particular evening, my daughter was out of town Christmas shopping, and my son-in-law was at home with their three children. The time was about 8:00 so the kids were in bed and he was putting watching movies until his wife returned.

Just as it happened, I had something to drop off at the house, so I took a quick drive over not intending to stay more than a few minutes and left my car running in the driveway. Upon entering the house, my son-in-law asked me if I’d like a beer. Now, I haven’t drank beer for ages, however, I thought it would be nice to sit, have a drink, and visit. After I finished the first beer, he asked me if I’d like another one, and watch a movie. The movie that we were going to watch was one that I had been waiting to see for a long time, so I quickly agreed to stay.

About 2 to 2 1/2 hours passed, watching the movie and gabbing, and I really thought I should be getting home as it was late. As I got up I glanced at the front door where I saw car headlights shining through the glass. My son-in-law got up as well and went to the door thinking my daughter must be home from shopping. Upon looking out the door, he appeared to go into a state of shock when he saw that the headlights were coming from my car not hers. All I can say is that I was thankful for a full tank of gas before the movie and the beers started, and that there was enough to get me home that night. I will never ever live this one down as it seems I’m the main topic of conversation whenever anyone asks ‘what’s the worst thing you’ve ever forgotten?’
