- you forget your wallet at work the night of your romantic surprise date with your wife. Andrew planned a trip to a play in Atlanta while my mom was here and it all turned out perfectly despite his driving without a license and my initial reaction to the surprise. If I could go back in time, I would definitely not ask, “What’s this?” with a look of confusion when shown the e-tickets. And, I would absolutely not be all like, “What’s this play, *Doubt, all about? I never heard of it.” Poor Andrew. He knows how sorry I am. I only hope it doesn’t discourage him from any possible future surprises. (I really appreciate and love what you did.)
- you act like an idiot and tell anyone who listens what’s going on in your life at that very moment. I’m pretty sure the clerk at Old Navy did not care that my mom and I were going to go see a *movie and I was going to order nachos and cheese – oh, I really hope they have nachos and cheese – I’m sure they do right? I mean, it’s an IMAX theater after all…. Yeah, I had uncool written all of my face – and probably my outfit.
- you have to get a ride from security after the movie is over because you parked on the complete other side of the largest mall in Georgia. Not only was it silly enough that we were being slowly chauffeured around the mall, but then some “real” action happened (a car backed into a yellow pole) and the security guard was all disappointed that he had to take my mom and I (or as he kept repeating on his walkie talkie, the “10-15”) to our car. My mom kept hysterically giggling every time he called us the “10-15.” It was all so hilarious, especially when the guy said “I’m going try to get there as soon as I can but I still gotta find this 10-15’s vehicle!” It was at that point that my mom and I told him to go get that “41” or whatever it was and let us out to walk. Man, I feel bad for that “41.” He had one geeked up guard coming after him!
- you enjoy every second of your special time. Thanks for the wonderful memories Andrew and mommy! I had a blast!
*If you were wondering, Andrew and I both really liked the play and the movie my mom and I saw was Made of Honor and we both enjoyed that as well!
Are You Zhazha? 
I've had those kind of reactions before….. I think those of us who "don't get out much" are always worried that when we do get out….things won't go well or they will turn into things we wish we had done something different. KWIM?Sounds like it all turned out fine in the end…..
