Does Your Mom Always Drop Her Keys?
I’m sure as many of you have, I’ve developed a talent, and yes I do mean talent, of being able to carry a multitude of things at once. In fact, it’s as if I have miraculously sprouted an extra pair of arms. Seeing me carry any combination of the following is not unusual… Baby Girl – she’s pretty much a permanent fixture on my hip and takes up 50% of my carrying capacity Diaper bag Purse Toys Blankets Miscellaneous baby and kid gear Holding Big Brother’s hand Books Shoes Pacifier Towels Camera Newspaper Groceries Laundry Food Drink Kitchen utensils Tooth brush And the list goes on….. Perhaps I was off my game, but the other day while dropping Jakey off at preschool, in true form, I was carrying Baby Girl, Jake’s extra clothes and car keys. In this instance, something had to give and I accidentally dropped the keys. Jake’s fellow preschooler was on hand to witness the incident and asked, “Does your mom always drop her keys”? I laughed to myself and thought how Jake sees me on a regular basis carrying too much stuff, balancing items on my head, while making dinner and hopping on one foot. He knows I don’t often drop things. However, he slowly bent over to pick up the keys, released a big sigh and gloomily said, “Yeah”. What?! Hmmmm, I guess you’re only as good as your last carry. 2 comments from 2 users

I was doing the balancing act in front of the san jaun school district office and yep, trying to unlock the car door, dropped the keys. Down a 5 foot deep drain. Watching them drop down there was in slow motion, yet my motherly cat-like reflexes were rendered usless. Luckily, it was in the dead heat of august so the drain was bone dry, and a big buff construction daddy was just leaving the building right as i swivled around in desperation. If he hadn't been there, i dont know if i couldv'e lifted that 50lb drain grate myself, at least without doing substantial bodily injury. Ha ha he was glad he was there too, cause he didn't hesitate at grabbing the $5 i offered to him!

At least you didn't drop the baby. :)Mama26, that's hilarious. I'm glad you were able to get them. What a pain.
