Please tell me that wasn’t MY kid
Posted on August 25, 2009 by FoBaM-Jamie
Let’s face it, kids do some pretty embarrassing things. In addition to having under-developed internal censors, many of them seem keen to make their parents squirm. They also have absolutely no grasp on the concept of political correctness and are liable to blurt out their unadulterated opinion on anything at any time.
For instance, my daughter has no qualms about pointing out overweight strangers and commenting on their “chubbiness.” She’s also prone to loudly sharing insightful bits of her internal monologue … like the time we were in the dressing room at a local department store and she asked, rather loudly, “Mommy, if you take your bra off, will your bubbies hang way down?”
Another consistent source of embarrassment (when she learns to read, she’ll undoubtedly want to kill me for publishing this) is her incurable fascination with bodily functions – primarily what we call “foofing.” This angelic-looking child can clear a room in sixty seconds flat … on demand. What’s worse, she’s doesn’t even try for subtlety. Oh, no. She announces and then narrates the entire event – making sure that all present were able to fully appreciate the magnitude of her ability. Honestly, I thought only boys did things like that!
The next time your kids do something that makes you want to crawl under the table, try not to get too hung up on it. As I see it, there are three possible silver linings to each and every embarrassing situation:
1. The experience gives you one more way to bond with your mom friends. Only they will fully appreciate the depth of your mortification.
2. In the long run, the really good stories will become family folklore – to be retold and relived every holiday season. There’s nothing like a tradition based on personal humiliation.
3. You could win a boat-load of money on America’s Funniest Home Videos
Whatever mischief your kids get into, don’t feel too bad. There’s always someone else with a worse horror story than yours. And that’s part of what makes motherhood so fun, right? I mean, what other vocation provides an unlimited supply of awkward moments that you can laugh about later?
What’s your most embarrassing moment with the kids? How about when you were a kid – did you ever embarrass your mom?
I think that my most embrassing moment would be walking with My son threw our grocery store foodlion. He has just turned three and this was when He was about 2 and a half. Now My son wasn’t breast fed, He just has this thing for boobies….. a very bad thing for boobies. so we were walking along and all of the sudden my shirt was lifted up and my bra was tugged down and He was saying.. look Mommy boobies!… omg there were people in the isle.. I was horrified!
People have always told me my daughter is beautiful and should model. You never know because it’s your child so naturally, you always think they are the prettiest thing. I thought, what the heck and scheduled an interview. Wouldn’t want her to miss out on the millions she could save for college.
My daughter has always been…..princess like, well behaved and well mannered. Imagine my surprise when we were interviewing with the modeling agency and my daughter (in her pink dress) pulled up her leg and started chewing her toenails!!!!!!!!!!!
I was mortified. I just said “maybe we will come back when she is a bit older”.
PS. She gets it from her DAD!
My son passed gas as loud as a grown man….in the middle of the prayer in church. I don’t think that anyone was paying attention, but I wanted to crawl under the pew!
Speaking of PEW!! OMG too funny!!
Luckily my children have yet to do something to REALLY embarrass me, but I definitely have a story about making my Mother’s face red!
I was about 4 or 5 years old, and my Mom had a group of ladies over for tea. I was always a very helpful child, and loved my Mother very much; therefore I felt the need to show her lady friends that she had the best, most helpful daughter in the world. I went to her bathroom, and grabbed the ‘watering can’ from underneath her sink (I hope I don’t have to explain that any further!). I then preceded to fill it up with water, and march into the living room.
The look of absolute HORROR on my Mother’s face stopped me dead in my tracks. She asked me what I was doing, I simply responded, ‘I wanted to water your plants, Mommy!’
She has never let me forget it either…
This actually was my niece, my son hasn’t done anything too embarrassing (YET) but he’s only 2. Anyway, she was visiting us in Florida and her parents took her and her sister to the zoo. Well we all go out to eat later and come to find out she tells us the girls were playing in the water area and it started to smell HORRIBLE. My sister-in-law said she looked to her husband and was like “someones kid just pooped in their swimsuit, I’m so glad its not our girls.” WELL……come to find out it was her youngest (my neice). She had gone in her diaper and continued to play and walk around the water area and let the “poopy” water splash her as well as the other kids. I know she was embarrassed but we all laugh about it now.
But Melanie, my son does the same thing too. He constantly is pulling my shirt down at Wal-Mart (but luckily not my bra). Good luck to you
This didn’t personally happen to me but I was in a changing room and there was a mother and daughter in the next room. She was running around and playing in there and then stops and says “eww, mommy your butt really stinks!” I died laughing and hurried up and got out of there to avoid the embarrassment for her.
In preschool, the year before kindergarten, I got taken aside by the teacher for a “talk.” They were discussing what work their parents do in class. My son announced “My Daddy makes babies and sometimes I get to watch!” My husband runs an IVF lab and sometimes, on quiet weekend days, my husband and son would go for breakfast and then over to the lab to check embryos. I learned to prepare teachers from then on. My daughter has not embarrassed me yet to that level, but she is “precocious” and prefers Alice Cooper to Raffi. Luckily the school assigned her the same kindergarten teacher my son had so nothing about my family can shock her!
Our family of five was at the grocery store doing our shopping. We have a 6 year old boy, a 4 year old girl and a 18 month old girl. The kids were enjoying all the compliments they were receiving from everyone on their cuteness. An older couple, like their 80′s easily, came over to talk to the kids. Our daughter, the 4 year old, looked up at the lovely woman and said, ‘Why is your face all cracked up?’ Me, horrified, slowly pushed the cart away, saying have a nice day. Thankfully the couple either was not phased or could not hear very well. Needless to say Dad and I were a bit embarassed!
Well my daughter and I were in the grocery store and she kept asking and pointing at people going whats that? So we were standing in line to check out and a lady was behind us and she pointed and asked whats that? I said that is a lady and she decideds to say very loudly I dont like her! Made me want to just disappear!!
And she has a tendency to keep her finger up her nose and scratch her butt… embarassing!
My daughter Olivia is not your average 16 month old child. One day while we were at the aquarium we were in the baby section where all the children can play together. An older child kept pushing her, after getting fed up she walks up to the mother, hits the mother and tells the mother “timeout!”
The lady than looks at me….She grabs her child and tells her that she needs a timeout. Olivia than decides to walk over and tell the mother “No, 5 minute timeout!” Than looks at the child and says “No, cookies.”
I was embrassed for the lady more than my daughter actions. The fact that a 16 month old child had to tell her that her child behavior was not good.
Okay so my son is 15 months old and I can relate to the to the pulling down of your shirt. My son’s first birthday I was wearing a tank top cause it was hot out and we had a whole bunch of family there. My son runs up grabs a hold of my tank top and yanks it down exposing my chest to my husbands dad and grandfather.
To make matters worse my father in law smiles and says I think thats the youngest pair of breasts I have seen in a long time
I was pregnant with my second child, and had no sitter, so I took my 3 year old daughter to my first internal exam. When the doctor put the speculum in, she said loudly, ” Open up and say ‘Ahhhh’ mummy!”
The doc was laughing too hard to continue the exam….
My kids have done plenty of little things to embarrass my husband and me. Throwing temper tantrums in the grocery store, running around crazy while we stop to talk…etc. The classic one we tell everybody happened the Christmas season just before our oldest turned one. My husband and I took him to Walmart to Christmas shop (oh the days when they could go with and be none the wiser!).
Well, I had to go get some shampoo and stuff and hubby and baby were in the toy aisle. When I came back, the six other people who had been in the aisle were gone and my husband was almost sitting on the floor laughing while our almost-one-year-old was laughing at his dad.
Almost five minutes later, I learned (through all the laughter) that our son let out a mondo fart right there in the middle of the aisle. My husband said he tensed up, got a little red in the face, did it, and then let out a big sigh.
Now, when I left them before all this, there were several women and a few girls in the aisle-not any guys of any age. My husband said the two women nearest him got the most horrified looks on their faces and were even more disgusted when he said to our son-”Excuse you!” And they all left in short order.
Needless to say, we tell it over and over and our son (who is now five) is going to hate it in ten years.
It was more funny than embarrassing, I guess, but if I’d been there, I would have wanted to melt into the floor.
So, its so hilarious that I saw this today… I have a 2 1/2 Year old and we are potty training. So, we are teaching him if he needs to go pee and hes outside than its okay to go.Today, He was in the house and had to go outside to go potty he said, so we let him. He pulls down his underwears and shorts and his daddy went to check to see if he needed any help and as he turns to see his Dad! Splash there all the pee pee went right into his face. It might have been the funniest thing I have ever seen, but so yucky at the same time. I know its not that embarrasing for me but it was definitely funny!
My son is only 2, so I’m sure I’ll have better stories in a couple more years. So far my favorite embarrassing stories are 1) my husband showing off our newly remodeled bathroom to a friend, and my son pointing to the toilet and telling him, “That’s where mommy goes peepee,” and 2) in a grocery store, my husband had to use the restroom, and when he came back, my son announced, loudly, “Daddy peepee!” I tried to brush it off and repeated, “Yep, you’re Daddy’s baby,” and he said quite clearly, “No, DADDY go PEE PEE.”
My family was traveling from the Grand Canyon to Phoenix when we decided to stop for dinner. Before ordering, we took the kids to the bathroom. I took our 7 year old daughter and 5 month old son and my husband took our 2 and 3 year old boys (who were potty training). I finished first and headed to the front of the building to wait for the boys when I heard cheering coming from the men’s room. I smiled thinking that one of the boys had gone. That’s when I heard, “OOOH! YEAH! DADDY GO POO-POO! YEAH, DADDY!”
My daughter and I had a nice laugh and teased my husband the rest of the night.
Most of the things my kids do make me laugh, unless they are misbehaving… The nose-picking, gas-passing, commenting on others’ gas-passing — all kids stuff, and I expect it. My 5 year old says that old people with lots of wrinkles have “curly” faces…. which I thought a rather creative description, but apparently when she told her daycare teacher that she had a curly face, her teacher didn’t appreciate it.
One day I was shopping in Barnes and Noble, the kids had picked out their books, and I was trying to pick out my own in a hurry. I was in the romance section, and my 5 and three year old daughters are with me, and my 5 year old, who is quite the prude, starts saying loudly, “Ewww! He’s naked!” (cover of a book showing a man’s unclothed torso) “Ewww! They’re kissing! Ewww! That’s DISGUSTING!” I laughed the whole way through. The only time I wanted to hide was when she was 3 and thought it would be funny to call a big, burly biker guy a girl…. Fortunately, he took it with good humor!
We moved when my daughter was three and needed to find a new doctor for her. At her first apt. the doctor came in and smiled and said to my daughter, “Who do we have here?” She piped right up and said, “Mackenzie” The doctor then asked “Who are those two people sitting over there in the chairs?” She smiled and said, “That’s my mommy and that’s my daddy, he farts a lot!” She cracked up and told us, “Well, that’s one for the baby book!” LOL! My husband whole face was bright red!
Great topic! Check out my blog and feel free to email me some of these funny stories!
I have one story that always sticks with me as the most humiliating mom moment. I am a super vigiliant parent, always watched what I said and I worked very close with my son’s kindergarten teacher. One day she calls me up half way through my son’s afternoon kindergarten class. She is giggling. She tells me that she has to have a parent teacher meeting with me today after school. Apparently when my son couldn’t finish his table work on time he decided to share with the class the F-word. He yelled it very loudly and therefore his teacher needs to meet with me to discuss appropriate punishment. Again, she is still laughing. So I inform her that I will be right there since the school is a mile from my house. She tells me to wait and we will handle it after school. Then I ask why is she laughing and she informs me that of all the students in the class she did not expect my son to be the one to yell profanities. So I stay home and simmer and think of all the ways that he may have heard it; the bus, the playground, other family members. Again I am always vigiliant with my language around my kids and I don’t play the radio around them either. So I go to the school and the teacher, myself and my son sit down. We ask him if he knows that he said a bad word and why did he say it. He looks straight at his kindergarten teacher and says “When I was 3, Mommy opened the dishwasher door and a plate fell on her foot and she said that word. I was that mad about my work not getting done so I thought I would use it.” I was so glad that he waited 2 years to scream profanities in the right context. UGH!!! Needless to say, the teacher had to leave the room she was laughing so hard and I was completely mortified.
When my son was very little my husband and I would read an illustrated child’s Bible to him. In one scene a cartoon version of Eve is naked (covered by leaves of course) peaking from behind a tree outside (Garden of Eden). My husband would point out jokingly, “Look, there’s mommy.” Well, we were out one day and my son happened to make a comment about mommy being naked outside. Of course I had to scurry to explain exactly what he meant. But he loved watching everyone laugh it up while mommy tried to regain her composure. He’s still a little pistol!
I was on a pre-school field trip with my 4 year old son. My dad went along with us. The pumpkin patch was right off of the freeway and a truck went by that smelled gross. Well when the lady was explaining what the kids were going to do, my son yells so everyone can hear, “papa, did you fart?” I was so embarassed for my dad and he was mortified. But everytime I think about it now, I just laugh my butt off!
My son about 4 years old yelling from the men’s room stall to my dad. “Pepa, wipe my butt!!!”
We have two kids. One day our daughter had her first softball game, my husband and I were sitting down and watching the game. Our son who was 3 (now 4) came out of bathroom with no underwear, pants, socks and shoes and asked us to wipe his butt! LOL It was so embarrassed!!!! There were a lot of people but they laughed about it too. We wanted to hide our faces!
My aunts son has always had a thing for Thomas the train. His favorite engine is Percy. When he was very little and jus began talking he could not for anything pronounce Percy. Everytime she was in a store and they would pass any Thomas the train toys, he would start yelling….”mommy i want p*ssy” I hope i dont have to explain why its sensored. I would absolutely be moritified had my child yelled that outloud in public.
Along these lines …my son also had a “thing” for Thomas the Train. One day when he was 3 years old, I took him out on a special “Mommy/Son date”. I was enjoying spending time with him until he dropped his toy train and disappeared under the table. I told Benjamin that he needed to sit back in his seat, at which time he start to yell at the top of his lungs from under the table, “I’m looking for p*ssy, I’m looking for p*ssy”. It’s a tough one to explain:)
That is so funny. I was at a Pampered Chef party this past weekend and two of my friends said they have nephews who call it P*ssy! Too funny!
I was in the check out line in the grocery store, with my then 3 year old twins. There was a plus size lady in front of us. She had dropped something on the floor and had to back up a little to be able to pick it up. As she started to back up my twins, start going “beep, beep, beep”. I was mortified. I apologized and left that line.
hey brandi, where are you from? i think thats hillarious, my husbands twin did the same thing when they were kids.so ive heard. lol
My son has always loved hot wheels type cars. When he was 2 he couldn’t say truck he said it with an f instead of tr. I was shopping in the toy section and made the mistake of walking down the isle with the hot wheels . He started screaming F*** repeatedly at the top of his lungs all the while I’m saying no it’s TRUCK and getting horrible looks from other shoppers.
My son has always loved the Toy Story characters and really really wanted Woody the Cowboy for his birthday… One day while shopping with him, he turned, looked at me and yelled: BUT MOMMY! I WANT A WOODY!!! Coming from a 3 year old boy, it was just too funny!! I couldn’t help but turn back to him and say: in due time, kiddo
I love your story! My 2 year old is IN LOVE with Buzz! He goes through stores shooting people with his lasers if they stop and try to touch and look at him! Its hilarious and so darn cute…
Just to let you know if you are still looking for a Woody toy, the Disney Store is the place to go… They have Woody shirts at Wal-Mart right now too. =)
When my daughter was 5, my husband and I worked for a juvenile correctional facility in our town. We would talk about our work day over dinner, with my daughter and 3 year old son listening to us talk about our theories of how juveniles end up in those type of places. One day, when I picked my daughter up from school, she was having a bad day because her little brother broke her favorite bracelet. As she was passing the playground to walk to our van, she saw a mother calling to her son, who happened to be high up on a slide. This mother was pleading for her son to come down, but his answer to hers pleas were “NO!”, “I don’t have to!”, “You’re not the boss of me!!”. My daughter stopped in her tracks, looked up at the little boy on the slide, looked at his mother, and as loud as she could, stated “And then she’s going to wonder why he ends up in jail when he gets older!!” My daughter then continued to walk to the van as if nothing happened, while I stood still paralyzed with fear! All I could do was look at the mother and say “I’m sorry, she’s having a bad day” and walk as fast as I could to the van!
My son was around 3 or 4 when he asked a rough looking gas station attendant, “why do you have those gold teeth for”. I quickly apologized and the attendant said, “oh its ok” then explained to my son that, he just thought they looked cool.
When my son was 3 years old I had picked him up from preschool. I took him for a bagel at the local bagel store. We sat down to eat and as a 3 year old does he started walking around. As I sat eating my bagel I turned around to find that my son was pulling the fire alarm which was at his height on the wall. OMG I was so embarrassed as the store manager couldn’t shut it off (there was no false alarm reset). So I grabbed up our bagels, beverages said I was sorry and headed out. Ironically today, some 12 years later there still is a fire alarm at the same height in that bagel store but there is a cover over it.
I remember my daughter singing at the top of her lungs in the middle of the grocery store aisle “don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?” from Alvin and the Chipmunks. I wonder how many people think I let my 4 year old watch The Pussycat Dolls.
I had taken my then 2 year old daughter and 15 year old sister clothes shopping at Old Navy. It was back to school time so the store was pretty busy. I went into one of the changing rooms to try some things on while my sister waited with my daughter. There was a very large man doing returns. My daughter looked at him and told my very easily embarrassed sister in front of a bunch of people “Auntie, that man has big boobs just like you”. My face was never so red! I had to walk right by the guy when I came out. My poor sister looked like she was about to cry from embarrassment. We couldn’t stop laughing when we got to the car though.
I’m still teased about the comment I made as a 4 year old while standing at the checkout with my mother. There was a woman with a bouffant hairdo standing next to us, and I turned and looked her right in the eye, and said in a very loud, very sarcastic tone of voice, “NICE HAIR, LADY!”. My 5 year old daughter has let out a few gems of insight while in public. This is one we often quote – We were out at dinner with some friends when after a period of silence while we decided on dessert, she lifted her head and sighed loudly, and thoughtfully exclaimed, “I think I’m bored.” Here’s the really embarrassing one, though – When she was about three, she was just getting the hang of using the potty on her own and very excited about going all by herself to the bathroom, and often would just go sit on the potty just for fun. I’d JUST taken her with me in there before her daddy was about to take a shower, and let her know that she couldn’t go in there while he was getting dressed. So I’m on the phone with my mother when I hear, “DADDY! YOU HAVE A FRONT TAIL!! WOW!!” and him calling me to get her away from the door in between fits of laughter. He was so embarrassed, but it was hilarious.
Okay I think my moment was when my son’s first grade teacher pulled me to the side at one of the open house activities. She comes over and starts to whisper…I just thought I would let you know…and I’m thinking she is going to tell me how well he has been doing…she says…I just wanted to let you know that I had to talk with Logan today, he called a little girl a name….you know what it is…yeah that is right, the B word!!! I just stood there, what I said, ok I have to say in his defense, this little girl had been bothering him, calling him names and taking things from him all year long and this was near the end of the year so I guess he had just as much as he could take from her. But anyway, she goes on and said when I asked him why he did that and if he knew what it meant, he said……well I know my dad says it when he is mad!!! ugh!!! Nice going Dad!! Well anyway that was pretty embrassing for me!!!
My 4 yr old son was a shower with me because we were pressed on time. He looked down and in a voice filled with shock exclaimed “Mommy you don’t have a pee pee”. I of course responded with the answer of “No, mommy has a vagina. Only boys have pee pees”. He then went on to tell me that he has a pee pee, his brother has a pee pee and Daddy has a big pee pee (in comparison to the size of his I guess). Then when he went downstairs he explained to my husband that girls have Vagena’s which of course had us laughing our heads off.
I had gotten a call from some college friends who wanted to get together for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Being a stay-at-home mom I was thrilled to get an invitation for a meal out. Unfortuntely the hubby was out of town on business and had no one else to watch my kids. So, I packed up the 2 kid took them with me. Dinner was pretty good, the kids behaved themselves as well as a 1 and 3 year old can. Toward the end my son kept telling me he had to pee, but I was caught up in conversation and decided he could wait a few more minutes. I was in the middle of telling a story when I heard a gasp. I looked over to find my 3 year old son had whipped it out and was peeing IN the vent next to our booth. Needless to say we have not eaten at the Cheesecake Factory since.
My dad likes to tell this story about me when I was 3 years old. We were sitting in church up at the front of the chapel. In church we were expected to behave ourselves and to be quiet. So apparently I kept being loud and I was given warnings and finally my mom said “That’s it Allison, you are going to come with me and you are going to go sit in a room with your arms folded until you learn to obey.” Unfortunatley the exit was all the way in the back of the chapel. So my mom grabs my hand and proceeds to walk me out and the whole way out I was crying and screaming “MOMMY MOMMY please dont’ beat me, I promise I’ll be good but please dont beat me.” Needless to say, my mom was mortified and got more and more angry and embarrased as we went down the isle to the exit. She said it was the longest walk out of church in her life.
My daughter was about 5 and we had a new babysitter come over. The young girl was rather “large” and my daughter says to her, polite as a 5 year old can be, “Excuse me, but don’t you think you’re a little too fat?” I wanted to melt into the carpet!
My step son for the past few years up to even now at almost nine comments to any woman who has residual pregnancy fat on their tummy or who is overweight asking something like ” when are you going to have you baby?” or “you look like you’re pregnant”. Not sure how his father is dealing with that
Where do I start? My son actually fell in the fountain head first in the mall when he was 4 years old. It was during our “tax-free” weekend so the place was packed. Also, we had to walk through the food court to get to my car. He was soaked, dripping all of the floor, and crying and I was so embarrassed. The mall security officer asked if he could help me, and I just shook my head no and got out of there as fast as I could. When he was two I got a phone call from the daycare asking me if I was on my way home from work. I was about 45 minutes away and their sense of urgency terrified me. I asked, “What is wrong? Is he sick?” The very pregnant teacher told me to come as quick as I could because he had put a pebble up his nose and it was lodge in his nostril. He kept sticking his finger up further and further and pushing it further and further. My sister picked him up and met me at the emergency room. Everyone in the emergency room knew about “the boy with the pebble in his nose.” There was an 80 year old woman with pneumonia who wouldn’t rest until she found out if they got the pebble out and if he was okay. The very pregnant daycare teacher said he almost sent her into labor and she wondered what she was in for.
OK, so I have a Georgous 18 month old daughter. She is the light of my eyes. Lately however, she has a lot of “gas”. I took her to a restaurant so we could have a little, “Mommy & daughter” time. Every time the server approached our table she passed gas which was so loud the people next to us heard it. She thinks its funny and laughs-I giggled a little. I told the server I am so sorry. Really…what else can I do??????
My wonderful son has become a fan of the gam Eye Spy, which is a good game I think. Makes him take note of his surroundings. Anyway we were playing it this past weekend when he decided to eye spy “something gassy”. Well it turned out that the something gassy was him. And I’ll be darned if my kid can’t clear a room. But he would eye spy something gassy everytime he has to pass gas…. No matter who is around.
I was standing in line at the Wal-Mart check out (which it was very busy)and my 2 year old son out of now where, started grapping at my breasts yelling “Mommy’s boobies”. I was so embrassed!
When my daughter was about 3 years old my mother-in-law and I had back to back appointments with our mutual hairstylist. Since she is usually my babysitter, we brought my daughter along. Three months prior to going to the beauty shop, there had been a very big lice outbreak at my daughter’s daycare center. The lice were a thing of the past and had finally relaxed my vigilance on checking her hair morning and night. However, she had not forgotten, and when I am sitting in the chair, hair wet and waiting to get trimmed, she saunters up to my hairdresser and announces big and loud (while flipping her hair!) “You know I have lice!” I just wanted to go through the floor along with my mother-in-law! I stammered, “She doesn’t have it anymore it has been a long time” and turned 10 shades of red. My hairdresser just laughed and said “kids will pick the best time to tell you something won’t they!”
Last summer I had my 2 and a half year old daughter and my 1 and a half year old son outside in their baby pool swimming. My husband was outside talking to the neighbor on their porch and they were both watching us and smiling until my little girl who was potty training jumps out because she has to pee. She polls down her pants and pees right next to the pool. We all kinda giggle and she jumps back in. A few minutes later my son says “I go potty” and jumps out of the pool and pulls down his pants too. Only he squats down and poops!!!! We laughed so hard!!!!
Me, my husband and my 2 1/2 yr old son were short on time for a family function and needed to get home from the park for a fast shower and a change of clothes. I told my husband to hop in the shower with our son and scrub up together to save time. Successfully we reached the family get together on time. Half way through the party my son proclaims “my daddy pee-pee big, mine small”. Everyone laughed, I stared at him and quickly left the room horrified. This happening after the previous family get together where he stated “my mama has big booboos” People are going to think that we’re a nudist colony around here. Needless to say we’ve been much more modest around the house.
Recently we had a change of Bishop in our church at it’s customary for the family of the Bishop to give a talk to introduce themselves. It came time for the little girl in the family to speak. She started with telling everyone about her hobbies and interests and how much she loved Jesus. She concluded by saying “everyone in our family is working very hard at not saying the “F” word, it’s hard for me and my brothers to not use the word, but we are trying. She concluded her talk and the congregation snickered and looked at each other like, what are we getting in to with a bishop whose family uses the “F” word? The Bishop then concluded the meeting and clarified that the “F” word meant Fart.
One of my more embarrassing moments was when my then 2 1/2 year old son announced loudly in Church to the family behind us (right when everyone had sat down and it was silent): “Hey, my mommy has BREASTS!”
Last week, my two sons ages 7 and 4 were eating with me in a family restaurant. The younger one needed to go to the restroom so my older son boldy agreed to accompany him. Being the mom that I am, I thought to myself that I had better go with them as well. They had already gone in to the bathroom but I was close behind. When I entered the bathroom, they were against the wall snickering. Right about that time, the smell came to me. My younger son pointed to the feet under the stall and said –she farted–they were giggling and snickering and it was obvous the woman was having some stomach problems. I grabbed the kids and took off outta there. Needless to say, I was a tad bit embarrassed.
