My son asked for chips (french fries), so I washed the potato, peeled, sliced it and put the oil in a pot on the stove. And only remembered when the pot was almost on fire! No chips.

Apologized profusely to son - gave him some chocolate instead.

Decided to do some (more) laundry. I opened the draw (I thought for the first time) of my washing machine, where I put the soap powder in and found that I had put a spoon of instant coffee in ... apparantly moments before.

I just found a roll of toilet paper - packed in amongst my pasta and rice.

It is too early to be drunk(ish) so I can't even use that as an excuse.

Pass the dunce cap over here please.
