public disclaimer

I knew it was only a matter of time before Annie said something uncomfortable in public. Yesterday at the store, a teenage girl was browsing near us when Annie announced that she needed to do her hair. The girl's hair was a little disheveled, and Annie kept saying it with increased clarity. "She need do hair mom. Mom, she need do hair."


So if your breath smells, your house is messy, or you're mildly obese, I apologize in advance. And if your kid has done something similar, please share to make me feel better.

I was in Michael's with Charlie a few months ago and we were checking out. The lady in front of us was rather large (to put it mildly) and she was wearing shorts. Charlie takes one look and says very loudly, "Mom, what's wrong with her knees?" Despite my best efforts to ignore his offensive question, he persisted to inquire until I responded.

Have you ever heard the one about Glenn telling a lady her lollipop stick was on fire when she was, of course, smoking!

So were you able to hold it together or did the giggles seep out? I'm SOO afraid that I will be laughing in the most inappropriate moments of parenthood.

When Brian was learning to talk he was pointing out everything he saw at Walmart, "There's a ladder, there's the tape, there's a paintbrush, there's a big bum..." There was a very large guy in the isle. He gave me the look like I was the one who said it. Makes you think of Southwest Airlines; "Wanna get away?" I sheepishly smiled and walked away. That is the problem with them talking so much before they are two.

My favorite is still Ricky at the YM Ward basketball game.

Ricky (pointing and talking very loudly): Mom, Mom, see that #44.
Me: Yeah, Yeah Ricky. Shhh... I see him.
Ricky (still pointing and talking even louder): Mom, Mom, see that #44!
Me: Shhh!
Ricky (stilllll pointing and talking even louder than before): Mom, Mom! That #44, his name must be El Lardo! (Now grinning because he thinks he is hilarious.)

The big kid's big mother was right behind us.

at 3, Sidnee saw a man at walmart bending over and showing a little crack, she responded by pointing and saying that his mom needed to buy him some new pants because his were to small and she could see his bum.
