funny story

I have to share this funny story from my days as a census worker. When I was in Winnemucca, just one other girl and I was our team. She was my team leader so she would go tell the manager that we were there and find out what rooms we needed to go to. I was driving and pulled up to the 1st motel. I told her that I might drop her off and then leave. She told me I'd better not. There was another car parked next to me. I heard a car door shut and then heard this girl laughing. She got in my car and said that she had gotten into the wrong car. It just cracked me up. She said. "I opened the door and saw that you weren't there and thought, she really did leave. Where did she go". It just really tickled my funny bone. So I went to the 2 places there that I had to go to and went back to the car. She was going over the paper work and realized that she had to ask the manager another question. I almost told her to remember which car to get back in but didn't think that was necessary. She came out and went to the wrong car AGAIN. Yes, she is blond. But she is a cute girl. On the long drive home, I found out that her parents were in my ward yrs ago. I served in the primary presidency with her mom. Then her parents got divorced and they both stopped going to church. It is a small world and I almost didn't make that connection.

I also found out that one of the other ladies in my group used to live across the street from me.

That is hilarious that she got it in teh wrong car TWICE! Sounds like something I'd do. There is a family in Wmca. Their story is similar. They went down to Las Vegas to Honor's Choir(or band...i can't remember. Anyhow, they were digging thru all these bags and things in teh back of their vehicle...they couldn't find a certain bag. All of hte sudden someone said, "What are you doing in my car?" SURE ENOUGH! They were digging thru the wrong car! Thank goodness this guy was fairly patient! They walked a few cars down and showed the guy the look a like car with all the bags and things in teh back like his. I thought that was hilarious! Plus, who doesn't lock their car when going into the mall IN VEGAS?!!?!
