What do these two have in common, you may ask.  Well, I’ll tell you!

If you don’t know already, I am living out in South Dakota, where one of the state sports is bull riding.  Now me personally, I do not know how this is a sport, but whatever, that’s not the point of this post.

The whole family and I are at an appliance store, checking out mini-fridges for my dorm room, when a worker asks us if we need help.  We go on to talk about the features of this fridge, when my mom speaks up.

“Has anyone told you that you look like Michael Phelps?”

The worker guy gave her a look and shook his head, claiming not to know who he is.  I held in a laugh, seeing as asking that question is usually my job, not my mom’s.  Then the worker looked at us, as if he knew who we were talking about.

“Oh wait, is that the bull riding champion from the East?”

Now, do it with me everyone:

*smack forehead*

And that my friends, is the only time you will ever see “Michael Phelps” and “Bull Riding” in the same conversation.
