Don't forget your HELMET!

We have just had a wonderfully refreshing swim as a family. Albeit, head knocking, dog yapping and Asthma attacking! Now I feel ready to unleash my pent-up creative-ness ('creative-ness' is ADD for 'more than just regular creativity - lol).

While wandering through the files of my mind last night, I found myself giggling at some of the seriously 'blond' moments I have had.

Now I need to break it to you, up front. I am NOT actually blond. I am a brunette ~ with flashes of red ~ always have been. But there have been moments! And one has to be forgiven for 'moments. Okay?!! And just to show you that I am NOT ASHAMED of my 'moments', I will share one with you...

Now this may be going back a little, but, I do distinctly sitting in the front seat of my Mercedes Benz, on the way to a holiday destination. I (just this time) happened not to be driving. And as we all do from time to time, I was staring at the dashboard. Having a great little convo in my head. Just me and myself. We were discussing the 'issue' of the AIRBAG...

We discussed how it might be a rather silly thing, after all. So I asked 'myself' to try it out by banging my fist against the area in which the afore mentioned bag 'hangs out'.

After a number of unsuccessful attempts and a rather bruised hand. My husband enquired as to my strange behavior. To which I, quite innocently (I can assure you!), stated that it was a "stupid thing, this airbag situation. "I mean, you would have to hit your head pretty damn hard on this dashboard for the airbag to be released, Isn't that a bit pointless?! ~ you would be 'out' before the thing was even activated! STUPID, stooopid IDEA!!"

It was at around this point that my husband ~ apparently in a titch of shock ~ near misses a 'stray' walker minding his own business on the side of the road ~ eventually, after wiping his eyes from the tears, explained the TRUTH behind the airbag system... hummmmmph!

So, in conclusion, if you think the same as I did. Note... DID!! Be assured that the next time you go driving, do wear a helmet!

P.S. For those of you who don't actually know how the airbag is activated... There is a sensor in the front of the vehicle and as soon as it is triggered (i.e. collision/fair bump), the airbag is released. Just FYI.
