ORIGINAL POST:
Did you almost die of embarrassment when your child pulled their own pants down at the library? Want to scream bloody murder when your toddler took a pair of scissors to the dog's fur? Feel like a terrible mother when your kid said a four-letter-word at a back to school event? Well don't! Mothers aren't perfect and neither are children. Let's 'fess up today because it's Not my child! Monday!
Sound liberating? Then let's get going!
This week, while I was using a public restroom with my MSC, one of the boys most certainly did not take one look at me and then pipe up for all to hear, "Don't worry, Mama. You'll get a penis when you grow up." Nope. Not my child!
It was most certainly not our perfectly pottytrained 3 year old who had not one, but two, accidents in his pants during dinner at my sister's house. Not my child!
Nor was it our firstborn who pointed to someone else's daddy in public and announced, "Look, Mama! That daddy over there is nice and fat!" Nope. He knows that adults don't care to be told that and he would never think that being "nice and fat" was a commendable thing, and go about announcing it to the world. Not my child!
And, finally, it was not my daughter who embarrassed me and our guest. When showing our friend around our house, we made a pit stop in our bedroom. Small Fry was with us, but when I wasn't paying attention, she most certainly didn't pull open our drawer and take out an unopened package containing an, ahem, adult novelty toy and hand it to our guest, saying, "Here 'ou go!" Said guest, having no idea what it was, did not take the package from Small Fry, give it one look, and then drop it like a hot potato, saying, "Oh my dear heavens." Nope. That did not happen in our house with my child. Never!
