Blonde moments.

Oh dear. Do you ever have those blonde moments when you wish the earth would open up and swallow you? You may have had a successful day when everything has gone well, and then you do something afterwards and instantly think ‘Why did I do that????’ We may know that we are intelligent, attractive, well informed or capable, but it is always the small things that unhinge us, and cause us to doubt in ourselves. Why is that?

So here are some blonde confessions. Have you ever farted in class, and then pretended it was someone else? Or walked out of a toilet with your skirt tucked into your knickers? Or burped when you weren’t meant to? Or walked into a room and then tripped up, and fallen flat on your face? Or someone introduces themselves to you, and you can’t for the life of you remember their name. Or someone has been talking to you, then stopped and they have realised that you weren’t actually paying attention, and they are wondering why you are looking slightly vacantly at them, not responding to their questions. Equally, there have been times when I have had a deep and meaningful conversation with someone, then discovered I had a huge bit of broccoli wedged between my front teeth. At the time I was wondering why they were looking at me rather strangely.

Or there can be those times when you are trying to find your seat on a train, and discover you have walked past it several times. Or you can be hunting for the right door into a room but then you end up accidently walking into the cleaning cupboard, or stumbling into someone’s private party. Ouch!

But then again, having blonde moments can also be quite useful. I guess it cuts both ways. Being blonde can help in certain tricky situations, and has given me a suitable get out clause when I have missed or forgotten something or been abit silly. So, if in doubt, get the blonde out, the hair will save the day!
