Misunderstood.

-Back in high school I worked for Sylvan Learning Center.  One day the secretary asked me to run some mail around to the mail boxes outside.  I got out there, looked at the 3 or 4 boxes lined up and had no idea which one was the one I was supposed to put it in.   I then walked back inside and asked "is the US postal service one the blue one?".     She laughed at me and said "Bevin we need to get you out more"


-One time, I was cleaning my bathroom and had done a really bad job at cleaning the toilet bowl.   Mama came in telling me to clean it again and in my frustration I exclaimed "But I don't know how to clean a toilet!!".  Lindsay has never let me forget that day.

-Back when I was working at Candler, I was convinced that I had a hearing problem.   I thought I must have earwax clogging my ear or something, so I proceeded to go to an ENT to have my ears checked.   He looked down in them and said they were fine but that I did have a little bit of build up.  Yummy.  Anyway, after the cleaning he asked if I had any questions.  I said "Yeah, how can I keep my ears clean?"      He and the nurse just stared at me for a few seconds before telling me to use a washcloth or a q-tip to clean them at night. As I left the room I heard them laughing at me. 

Because I was too flustered each time to defend my questions, I would like to say, for the record:
--I seriously did not know that the blue box was the USPS one even though it very clearly marked "US postal service" on the side. However, I was 16 and it was the first time I had ever had to do that so show some compassion, Pamela. Gosh.
--I did and do, in fact, know how to scrub a toilet. I was just trying to find a way out of having to do it again, LIN-SAY.
--I wasn't asking how to clean out the part of your ear that you can reach, dummy, I was asking how you keep your ear canal clean cause the q-tip box clearly states you should not stick ANYTHING down in your ear canal.

See. There IS logic behind all my stupidity.
