What A Fool Am I!
A fun night followed by frustration
Keeley gave a buzzer to a 2 year old to play with before the trivia started. It wasn’t registered and she hadn’t thought it might interfere with the trivia. The child activated it and it blocked all of the teams from answering. Hilarity and panic ensued.
I buzzed in for one question. I only read the first three words and knew it must be “merino”. To be honest, I don’t know any other sheep breeds. Keeley said, “Correct, and added the anecdote, “Mum loves sheep.” The room tittered, which encouraged Keeley to ask me to make the sheep’s sound.
I obliged, “ Baa, baa-aa, baa.” It’s the animal sound I can do the best. Just ask Caelin.
When trivia finished, I ambled out to the car as Keeley had to drag a trolley with all the gear. I had the keys so I tried to unlock the car. It looked like it was already unlocked but it wasn’t. Nothing I did with the key worked so I deduced the remote battery had gone flat.
Nope, that wasn’t the problem. I was trying to open the wrong car. In my defence, it was the same make and model and colour as our car, but obviously different number plates. Who looks at number plates when they’re trying to open their car?
