  So my dear wife cannot think of an embarrassing story of me. Well the one I remember most involved her and her friend Mary. It was a practical joke and I have to admit they got me GOOD. For those of you who do not know me I appear quite confident (or I used to before trying to raise kids anyway). I also have this bad habit of picking up facts or making connections and never really checking them out. These two things combined can be disastrous if I am dead wrong about something but feel confident. So here's the story ... Scott's sister (who Marsha mentions below) was pregnant with twins. Somewhere I picked up incorrectly that diabetes is a problem for kids who are twins. So when Marsha told me that Scott's sister was diagnosed with twins I expressed some concern over the diabetes thing. Marsha had never heard of this and questioned me about it in depth to which I am sure I had some fine sounding argument. I think we even made a bet, but never really checked it out. Several weeks later we were visiting her friend Mary who happens to be a nurse and also knows Scott. At some point the conversation moved seamlessly to Scott's sister and Marsha casually mentioned that she was having twins. Mary looked concerned and said that she hopes the kids turn out ok because there is a high risk of diabetes.
I looked at Marsha. She looked at me in shock. Yes - I was right!! I began this little dance I do when I am right. It's my I am right dance. Unfortunately I did not even make it to my main moves before I realized I'D BEEN HAD because Marsha and Mary were rolling on the floor in laughter. I was wrong. Dead wrong. And dead embarrassed.
