Awkward!!!

I know we all have those moments where something we said or did all the sudden takes a turn we never saw coming.

A couple of days ago I had to go to Nampa court for a case. Upon arriving I learned the prosecutor/defense attorneys decided to continue the case (pending new charges) until April the day before. So a bit frustrated that I did not receive an email updating me, I laughed it off and started on my way back to work in Caldwell. At a stoplight I was reviewing the folder and saw the name of the arresting officer on the case was someone I knew. It was my brother-in-laws good friend and I just kind of chuckled. I looked up to check on the light and saw my brother-in-law in his truck which just struck me as funny since I just thought about him. I was going to call him and say something but I realized he was on his cell phone.

Anyway, I thought nothing of it till later when my sister and I were talking on the phone. I was tell her of the coincidence of seeing the friends name and then my brother-in-law in like a matter of seconds. All the sudden her tone change! She wanted to know what time and where at. I gave her an approximate. Then she asked if he saw me... I was like nope I was in the county car so he did not even look at me.

I guess he was on the phone with my sister. She was asking him if he could swing by and pick-up some papers for his boss. He was telling he could not because he was still working and no where near by. But he was about 1 mile away at the time. She was fuming because he lied to her. Wow, such a change in the story than where I ever meant it to go.

So, the next day my brother-in-law calls me at work. He said that he was on his way to order flowers for my sister and his wife as a surprise. I guess I kind of ruined that.... oops. He actually said that he didn't know the one time he would try to be sneaky and surprise her a cop would be tailing him. I kind of laughed and was like "sorry, I just thought it was a funny coincidence."

Talk about awkward.
