While we were at the grocery store, an elderly couple stopped to sweetly smile and talk to Owen and Gibson and as they walked away, Owen announced, "They are old!"
Lily quietly shushed him and said, "That's not nice, Owen," and then she said to me, "His first public humiliating of me."
"It won't be the last," I said, and we proceeded on down the deli aisle, my very presence there proof that a mother cannot die of embarrassment over something inappropriate her child says or does in public.
Bahhahhahahha~!
ReplyDeleteIf that is the first one, I think that's pretty impressive.
That boy. :-p
Your last several posts have been a delight to read. It's like reading a chapter from a book that you've come to rely on in its comforting familiarity.
ReplyDeleteSo many of us here seem to need our alone time that it makes me think a lot of other people do too. It must be the ones who can't be alone that do so much talking that we think it's the majority. Your babies still warm my heart. Gibson's smile, Owen's developing personality, they are just so sweet.
You are an incredible writer. And you seem so productive, even when you are not feeling like you have been. I guess it's all relative. Sweet Jo
My nephew once announced in a KFC, "Auntie, why is that lady so FAT?!" I died a little.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here and threatening to snow. I may die a little again if it does.
Ms. Fleur- I know. True.
ReplyDeleteSweet Jo- What would I do without you? Thank you.
heartinhand- My greatest public embarrassments have come from my mother in doctors' offices. She would point out everything which simply must not be pointed out. In a very clear voice. Races, weights, ethnicities. Etc. I'm not sad that part of my life is over.
Funny! Guess what? Isaiah and Zachary refer to doing things in public as doing things "in Publix." In this instance, it may have been in both. Ha.
ReplyDeleteChildren get right to the point without any compunction.
ReplyDeleteAwww. Poor Owen. It is damn confusing to be little.
