My Bad Insurance Should Get Me SOMETHING, RIGHT?

Recently, Wee ‘Burb has taken to emptying my purse. I thought stealing mom’s credit card and keys was a teenage thing, but apparently not.

She especially loves to take the credit cards out of their slots. I allow this because it keeps her quiet for 12 seconds. These days that’s a precious gift.

So, a friend of mine and I signed up for a candlelight yoga session as part of our 2011 goal of taking some different gym classes. I grab my cell phone case and toss in my debit card and license.

After a wonderful hour-long session of yoga, we both agree we could use some wine. We have a favorite wine. It’s cheap and light. Perfect to accompany some languid watching of Scared Straight and Celebrity Rehab.

I pay the nice lady for the wine and we head home.

Later that night I am putting my cards back in order when my blood goes cold. The card I have pulled out of my cell phone case? The one I used at a LIQUOR STORE to purchase WINE?

Is my health savings account card.

Do you think I can make a case to the good people at my insurance company that the wine was medicinal?

According to Dr Phil and Dr O you should be able to at least make an argument. Then if they have any sense of humor they should let it slid. Beside a lot of over the counter medication and mouth washes have a higher alcohol content.

Wine is good for you - in small doses. A glass a day, and all that. :) Maybe base your argument on that!

Ahahahaha...And here I am using it for cough syrup and birth control. My god, you make the rest of us just look like amateurs!

Hilarious! And, yes, sometimes wine is the best medicine :)

PS - Why do all tiny creatures adore emptying wallets and purses?
