Blonde Moments

Friday our anchor had a severe blonde moment. She's a natural platinum blonde. Her hair is so light the station actually makes her darken it! But she rarely shows her roots.

Friday we were running light (in other words, not enough news to fill the newscast) so she and the sports guy started adlibbing about the new Girl Scout cookies this year (we'd just done a story on the cookie sales kick-off).

As she was wrapping up the adlib and saying goodbye she said, "I'll see you on Monday," then put her finger to her lips and added, "Oops! I'm off on Monday. See you Tuesday!" and giggled maniacally.

It was hilarious and it was a totally blonde moment.

On a side bar: this is the same anchor who grew up on a farm yet had an hour long argument with me over whether mutton and lamb was the same meat! She insisted they were different animals. Given, she grew up on a wheat farm, not a livestock farm. But I grew up in orchard country and I knew the definition of mutton!
