Rameumptom

It might appear that I am just all fun and games thus far (ha!) but truly I do have a serious side. J It may be a little difficult for one to understand this entry if one has never suffered unbalanced hormones. I know! Stick with me here……Sometimes my symptoms are difficulty thinking and my brain can get scrambled. J I know! Not really to the point where at those moments, you may not want to ride in a car with me driving but……well, maybe.

Anyway, I do recover somewhat once the brain becomes unscrambled. Stick with me. You need to know that to understand the rest of the story. I work part time in a department with several women. One day, during my seminary teacher days, just a couple of weeks after having taught the Book of Mormon story (and principles) about the Zoramites, I lost it. I mean my brain became scrambled, not at seminary mind you, at work. I was watching a co-worker sweep out her work area and decided to tease her. I said, “Hey Rosemary, I’ll bet if you put that broom down on the floor and hold your hand out like Harry Potter, you could get the broom to come right back up to you if you say the magic word!” Now, being game for some fun Rosemary dropped the broom to the floor and said, “Ok, what’s the word?” It was at this point that my brain became scrambled. I could not think. True story…I knew Harry Potter had learned a very clever magic word to get the broom to come to him, but I truly could not think what it was. Out of my scrambled brain and to my mouth came the answer, “I think it is something like rameumptom.” There stood my co-worker with the broom on the floor chanting “rameumptom, rameumptom…..”. At that point something did seem just a little off to my mixed up brain, but it was not for a couple of hours that it truly hit me just what I had said. I felt pretty dumb, but Rosemay had no idea. We had just had a little fun. When I got home that night I told my husband that little story and he laughed and then I asked, “What was that magic word Harry Potter used”? “Up”, he said. Don’t get in a car with me.
