Sometimes I do seriously stupid things.
- It’s difficult, because on paper I am a really intelligent human, however, the troubles emerge when I am distracted with thinking about something else that has important in my life and go on autopilot, but under these conditions, I’m bound to make stupid mistakes and look like a total idiot, but this is precisely what happened recently when I spent the night at a friend’s household for the holiday, my family plans had fallen through, so I had nothing in store for the cheery seasonal holidays, but luckily, my best neighbor invited me to her family’s holiday celebration and I was filled with moderate and fuzzy feelings knowing that I had anywhere to be for the immense afternoon.
I entirely wanted to be a positive asset to their holiday celebration. That’s why, when I was hanging out at the family home, I stupidly threw wood logs onto their fireplace without thinking. I was enjoying the dancing sparks in the beautiful fireplace hearth, when I noticed that they were starting to peter out. I often tend to the fire at my family’s holiday, so I decided to do the same thing here. I did not want to petrify anyone in my friends family, so I located a stack of fresh firewood next to the fireplace and carefully positioned some modern fuel into the sparks. I thought it was odd that the wood wasn’t catching fire in this delightful heating source, but continued trying to stoke the flame anyways, however eventually, my neighbor walked into the room and gave me a odd look as she observed me stooped over the fireplace, then with some concern in her voice, she asked if I realized that it was a gas fireplace, not a real wood burning hearth. In that disappointing moment, I felt like an absolute idiot as my nice friend and I carefully pulled to the real wood out of the electric fireplace. Luckily her family didn’t notice.
