robocop? are you kidding me?

May 22, 2011

I often share photos of others here. And, a lot of times, I admit I don’t always post photos that THEY like, but more often ones I like best, or find funny. So I guess it’s only fair to share a photo of me that I’m not especially crazy about.

Yesterday, I had to make my first big outing with a broken foot, and that’s how the photo originated…

To get to the funeral home visitation for my Aunt Irene, I first get my crippled self a shower and dry my hair. No easy task with a broken foot — those of you that have had a similar injury know what I’m talking about. I was seriously ready for a nap at that point. I’d still not made it through the 20 minute drive OR walked up the incline to the door, OR navigated the steps to get inside.

Once I got there and got out of the car, the first comment (from a friend even!) was, “Hey, your shoes don’t match.” Har har.

But the next comment took me a bit by surprise. My son casually called me “ROBOCOP!” Are you kidding me? Nothing about ‘sorry you’re having a hard time, Mom’. Just, “Oh. Look. Robocop.” Whatever…
