Ooooopps.....

Again, I will set the scene for you- I receive a call from a friend of Mrs. Carlisle's asking what time they should be at the airport to pick up Maury. I look all over the computer, and make a few calls- no one knew that Maury was supposed to fly out. I then get word that someone has seen Maury walking down Lodge Hill that morning so I send out word for Maury to come find me and assume that the person calling was confused....no way Maury is flying to Bham today and hasn't already left for the airport...

Hours later, Maury happily skips up to the front desk where I am working because he got my message. The following conversation occurs:

"Hey, a friend of your mom called today and wanted to know what time to pick you up at the Bham airport. You should probably call her back and tell her that she is confused." -Me
"Hahahahaha (extremely long pause, contemplative look on face).....wait what is today? (still laughing)"- Maury
"June 5, 2008" -Me
"Hahaha....oh crap. I was supposed to fly to Bham today for a wedding. I forgot."-Maury
"(eruption of laughter for 10 minutes) HAHAHAHA"-Me

While the conversation was not that funny, witnessing Maury actually FORGET that he was supposed to get ON AN AIRPLANE and FLY TO BHAM for a wedding where HE IS A GROOMSMAN was hilarious. Do people really forget that kind of thing? He said that the thought has crossed his mind yesterday, but he had just assumed the wedding was in July (who does that?). He said that he got an email reminder about the flight a few days earlier but he thought when it said your flight leaves on 6/5/08 that 6 was the number for July. Torn up, Maury.

Love, love, love- Kristin

Almost like when he forgot about a test and was running to class and in the process of running was reading a book and putting/tying a shoe
