Madness

Ever wished you could start again and pick your words more carefully.

The other day i made a phone call to a 'bed and breakfast' to make a  booking for a short break we will be having.  I had the pictures of the bedrooms up on pooter screen.  The lady answered - why do they always have a posh voice - and said that all the rooms were free, which one would i like.  That was when the mouth started working without the brain.

Would i like the twin room?  Well says i, the beds look too far away to be able to poke my husband if he snores.  A short silence, and then, no.... you wouldn't be able to poke him but you could always push the beds together.  I said no that would be alright.  The other room, i said, is the bed on wheels, (it was a double bed with head and base board and room for someone to hide under).  No she said, but there is something to pull out from underneath (single bed perhaps).  Oh, says i, only i thought if it had wheels on (could not for the life of me remember the word casters) and i jumped on it it might shoot across the room with me.  Again a silence.  No, no wheels, my bed has wheels but i have a box at the bottom of the bed to stop it moving.  She said.

All this time i am screaming to myself, shut up you idiot what's the matter with you and trying not to dissolve into hysterical giggles.  She then went on to say, it does have a base board so if you are tall it might be a problem.

So what was my reply,  Neither myself or my husband suffer from height.

By then i was just groaning inwardly to myself and could not get off the phone quick enough.

I have booked the double bed for the vertically challenged with the assurance it will not scoot across the room when jumped upon for it has no wheels.

I now just have to face the women when we go.  Do i pretend that it was my normal way of behaving, or make a joke and apologise that i was having a mad moment??
