Funny Moment with the scale...

Today I stepped on the scale in our bathroom. It showed I weighed about 15 pounds more than I did just a few days ago. I thought maybe the children had messed with the zero knob. So I got off and checked it, zeroed it out. Then I got back on. It read the same thing- 15 pounds up from three days ago. I thought, maybe our scale has finally died. We bought it about seven years ago form a thrift store, maybe it's seen it's last days. So, I thought I'd check by weighing the children: Hyrum showed about 15-16 lbs- that was right, Rebekah showed about 24 lbs-that was right too. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. So, I stepped on the scale again- still 15 pounds higher than I should be. I look down at my waist. Maybe I really did gain 15 pounds. No, my pants were a little tight this morning, but I still got them buttoned. If I had gained that much I doubt I'd have gotten them on. So, I tried one last time- still 15 pounds up. Then, suddenly the light bulb flashes in my brain! Silly me, I had the baby in my arms the whole time! I laid him down and tried again. I was relieved to see that I weighed about the same as I did a few days ago. Wow, that was a silly moment.
