What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done while sleep-deprived?

When my youngest was a few weeks old, I walked out of Target and started loading my groceries into the car. An older woman came and stood behind me, and I pulled a “Can I help you?”

Her: “Yeah. This is my car.”

I looked around it was, indeed, a stranger’s car. So I apologized profusely, grabbed my things, and booked it back to the right car.

Only to realize — as she was speeding out of the parking lot in apparent fear of the zombie carjacker — that I had left my keys in her car.

Never got those keys back.

1. My baby was with me.

2. My husband and oldest were home with the flu.

3. It was Valentine’s Day

4. I was borrowing my MIL’s car.
