Clueless

You'd think I wouldn't be as clueless as I am -- considering my skeptical view of things like this and my dad with his dead-pan jokes. You'd think I'd be used to analyzing what people say. But, no, sometimes my brain has the viscosity of elbow grease in a lazy individual.

For instance, back at the Faith Builders College Retreat I was talking to CA and MS (both male) and perhaps a couple girls. I was speaking of how I'm not good at accepting chivalry and shortly thereafter CA asked, "Can I get you a cup of water?"
I, not desiring to support any such offers from a guy and being totally unaware of how his request fit into what I had just been saying, said, "No" in an "of course not" tone of voice.

More recently, back at the "Party After Church", I was listening to JB talk about some "picture" he "saw" in a book, a portrait of some Pharoah. Now, to me it is feasible that a painting could exist after four thousand years and while skeptical of the veracity of his statement I expressed some belief in its possibility (though at the same time asking if it was true). Apparently it was a complete joke and JB stated "Gullible is not in the dictionary." I thought briefly that the statement made no sense, but didn't actually figure it out until the next day. Very slow on the uptake.
I'd offer for y'all to share your "clueless moments", but maybe you never have any or are wise enough to keep them secret.
