I thought I'd try this and see if it catches on. I didn't say worst mistake because every human makes so many. You can list as many as you like, funny ones are encouraged! Some mistakes are funny!
1. Hitchhiking with a girl who was legally blind and would not wear her glasses. When the cop car pulled over she excitedly said, "Oh, that was FAST!" (I never hitchiked after that)
2. Marrying my first husband. This was really a serious mistake as we had probably the most unromantic and unaffectionate marriage (yes, THAT) in the history of mankind.
3. Not believing I had any worth and acting like I had no worth around others (mostly when married to husband #1)
4. Leaving my diary out so my brother could read it...lol.
5. Driving to the airport with a friend, making a wrong turn, possibly going in the wrong direction and finding myself right outside of Cabrini Green, an infamous housing project, with no idea how to get back on the highway.
6. On another famous drive of mine with same friend who should have known my sense of direction was challenged by then, and ending up in China Town (Chicago) in rush hour traffic (which means you can't move) and, as usual, no idea how I got there or how to get out and trying to shout to others for directions, but nobody spoke English.
7. Fostering then adopting an 11 year old boy who was truly too damaged to live in a family...you all know the rest. That was the end of that.
8. Not learning how to curb my ultra-sensitive nature. I still cry at every sad thing, even if it's just a movie. I don't think I will ever be able to conquer this...I have conquered much, but this is very much a part of me and I've tried...I have not been successful. Oh, yeah. I also never conquered my poor sense of direction, even with GPS. Don't even ask!!!!
9. Loving people who didn't/couldn't love me back. Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!
10. I deeply regret that in this lifetime I never lived on a farm with animals!!!!!
Ok, guess I will see now if this is an interesting thread or not
