I am a night talker. I called a neighbor in middle of my sleep to ask her what the racket is above my head.

My husband woke up from my call and took the phone out of my hand and ended the call. I can still cringe when I think of this many many years later. And yes I pretended not to know that I did that when I met the neighbor.

OMG!! that's too cringe embarrassed

Let's hope you never do this on Shabbos!

My kids left the door open in the morning. My one year old twins slipped out of the door one wearing pyjamas and one with clothes.
A second later a male neighbour that I barely know asked me if the baby crawling on the road is mine. I panicked realising that they both escaped and asked him if there is another baby running down. He obviously didn't realise they were related as one could walk already. I was so helpless as I was still in pyjamas. Hiding

Into the sink.

I remember standing at the sink just staring at the strainer full of just vegetables

I cleaned up from dinner and put the dishes away. Next time I needed the pot, took it out and saw week old Mac and cheese in there turning green and fuzzy. Pregnancy brain at its best.

This one was so mortifying. I was at work, phone rang, I answered and a male voice which sounded JUST LIKE MY DH asked to talk to me. I exclaimed “husband!!!”
It wasn’t my husband

Lolll this was me too. I once went out with two the same booties in different colours (one black and one tan) I did grocery shopping on a main street with all the heimishe shops and I picked up my child from Daycare. I only realised when I came home and dH pointed it out. I wanted the ground to swallow me up

This wasn't me but still funny nonetheless. My husband was leaving to work and took his bagged breakfast that was hanging the doorknob, only to realize on the city bus that the bag didn't contain his breakfast. It was a dirty diaper that needed to be taken out! He also found himself waiting at the bus stop with a garbage bag that he forgot to toss. The weird part is that he is generally not an absentminded person. I guess it's payback for all the times he poked fun at my mommy brain.

OMG, my stomach hurts from these Laugh

As for me, I once looked for my phone in my bag after I'd been out. I found a phone, that was not mine! I then looked in my coat pocket and found my own phone. But had literally NO CLUE whos' the other phone was, and how on earth had I ''stolen'' a phone without even knowing it?!! I literally thought I had lost my mind or become a seasoned kleptomaniac overnight!

After calling dh and wracking my brains for all I was worth, a call with a name came in on the mystery phone, and I had to awkwardly stutter my way through explaining my story- and it suddenly hit me that the only place I had taken my phone out was at the corner grocery, and perhaps I had taken my own phone -and also the phone belonging to the person at the desk! (the phones looked identical) I asked the woman if her husband worked at the grocery, and sure enough he did.

Arggh, I'm cringing as I type this out. I had to return and explain my 'theft' TMI

, and yes, this guy still works there over a year later, and I can't just avoid my corner shop, it's too valuable to me embarrassed

I once took a bag with me that contained an incredibly smelly diaper and intended to toss it in the dumpster on the way to the bus. When I got on the bus, I was feeling so embarrassed/annoyed for the poor mom who's baby had such a foul smelling diaper...until I realized that the bag was still hanging on my stroller🙈

I went to a classmates bas mitzvah and was wondering why no one else was there. I came a week early 😂 another classmate came as well lol.
As a kid I once wore a navy sick and black sock by mis take
A few times when I left the house as a girl I thought I didn’t close the door but I did.
When I was newlywed and living in a walk in. It was yomtov at night I was by my parents and I thought I left the door wide open. I insisted I left it wide open I ran home to check TG the door was closed.

With my pregnancy brain I had a clip on strainer and I didn’t attach the front part (didn’t push it all the way down) after half the pasta was on the sink DH asked what I was doing and I said how else will the water leave the pot 😂
Or another time his supper was ready. I go to take it out of the oven only to realize it’s sitting there for a hour and a half in a oven that’s off 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was shopping at the corner grocery and accidentally took someone else's shopping carriage. I was loading it with stuff and didn't realize till I saw a man walking around the whole store with a bag of frozen broccoli in his hands and the most puzzled look on his face.

I prepped an entire turkey and put it in the fridge. That night I was cleaning out the fridge and through the whole thing out only realized erev Shabbos when I was looking everywhere for the turkey. Still can't figure out what I was thinking it was.
