Brackenlexia

I know a lot of you have seen this sign on main street before and/or have heard this story before, It is one of Brian's favorites. Oh I can't believe I'm going to post this...
I have been known to say things before I really think about what I'm saying. It is known as Brackenlexia. A mix between being a Bracken and Dislexia. All you Bracken's know what I'm talking about, it is hereditary and highly contagious:) Even those of you in denial, WE ALL HAVE IT! And I have stories if you think you don't:)

Here is Brian's first experience with my brackenlexia
November 1999
Brian and I had only been married a couple weeks when we were driving down main street. I look up and ask "What is Siggins" Brian looked at me and said "What?" I pointed to the sign and said "The sign, what does it mean?" He started laughing and so I wouldn't look completley stupid I laughed as well....a few seconds past and said "What's funny?" He said " you mean the sign that says SIGNS" And then it hit. What the heck was I thinking. I totally played it off when I started laughing and said "honey I knew that, hahahhh". Oh my gosh I felt SO dumb. I mean really, Siggins, really Lyndsie??? seriously???
Later that night on our way home he asked if I was really joking. I sheepishly told him about my syndrome(brackenlexia) and that it would probably happen often. Which if you ask Brian he will say "no, never" but thats because he is sweet and cherishes every time I have an episode:) Good thing he thinks its cute
