THIS Dumb
Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 2:42PM
How dumb is Liza? THIS dumb (arms spread wide).
Before we left for Washington, D.C. I was planning what clothes to bring and talking to my mom about it. We were discussing what outfits I'd wear to go sightseeing. I expressed concern that I should bring close-toed shoes and a cardigan in case we toured somewhere like the White House. I was pretty sure they wouldn't let you in with sleeveless shirts and flip-flops. My mom corrected me with, "No, that's the Vatican, Liza."
AND THEN, while we were here we went and walked by the White House. I seemed to remember something about a sign that would let you know if the President was home. I couldn't remember quite what it was so I texted my mom, knowing she'd know, and I said, "How can you tell when the President is home? Isn't it when the flag is up?" and she texted back, "No, honey, that's the Queen of England."
I just thought I would share with you all the dumbness that came over me recently. I have to say, though, I've always found Europe much more facinating! And, I had been to Italy and London much more recently than I had D.C.
Don't you just *love* the dumb moments? I do.

Hey, with Americans it's usually total ignorance about other countries, instead of the opposite!
I can't believe your mom texts. That's impressive.
Haha! Thanks for making me feel better!
Oh, not only that, but she can send photos WITH VOICE MESSAGES!
Can your mom teach my mom technology?
