Funny Dumb Moment

When I was at the parent orientation at space camp- the director told us to get out our pens and write down an emergency phone number . So I comply and do what he says and he states the number as 186 then space. So I'm waiting for him to continue- I already wrote down 186 ... what are the rest of the numbers. He repeats the same thing - so I figure he means like space as in space bar and I'm mentally trying to figure out what key would be the space key on the phone as I visualize the keypad. I can't figure it out and just as I am about to raise my hand he says-- for those of you that needs numbers they correspond with the letters S-P-A-C-E and rattles off  the numerical translation.

Thank Goodness I did not raise my hand! I thought I was embarrassed when #3 pretended to cry as if he was beat to obtain a milk shake -- I would have been mortified! Sometimes I wish my brain would always work and remain in a constant "ON" position-- but so far -- no such luck!!
