“Look Mommy!”

April 19, 2011 by OneMommy

The last page of Parenting magazine this month has a bunch of things kids have said to people that embarrassed their parents somehow.  For instance, one child said something about a bunch of fat people being in the elevator with them…  I laughed as I read each one, counting my blessings that so far we’ve been lucky with what has been said and to whom.

Then we went to the library for story time today.

My daughter is a very observant 3 ½ year old, and when she notices something, she wants me to see it too.  So as I sat our stack of books on the counter to check them out, she desperately wanted me to notice the lady behind the counter.  “Mommy, her eyebrows are painted on…” she said.

I tried to ignore her and struggled to get the library card out of my pocket, hoping we could get checked out before she said it again and the lady hear her.  No such luck, and this time it was louder.  “She has her eyebrows painted on, Mommy!” she exclaimed, pointing this time.

“Yes, Sweetie,” I whispered.  (How many books do we have left to get scanned???)

My answer wasn’t good enough, she really wanted me to look.  “Look, Mommy, they’re painted on; her eyebrows are painted on!”

Finally all the books were scanned and I was able to usher both kids out the door.  I wasn’t even concerned with the fact that it was pouring at the time; I just wanted to get them to the car.

Have your kids said anything to embarrass you lately?

    This is so funny! it didn’t happen recently (years ago in fact) but it reminds me of when our younger daughter smacked a woman who was bent over in Waldenbooks on the butt. Funniest part was my husband was the one who was with her! He was pretty embarrassed and not sure if the woman thought it was him! We still laugh!

    Very funny! My little one isn’t stringing together full sentences yet, but he repeats like a pro. The other day we were in the grocery and I let him walk for the first time instead of ride in the cart. It didn’t last long… I caught him right before he was about to grab some glass bottles. So I scooped him up and was trying to stuff his kicking legs into the cart seat and he yelled as loud as he could, “Poor baby! Poor baby!” I couldn’t help but laugh 🙂

    I took my nephew to the mall and he wanted a toy dog called ‘My Poochy’ but he called it ‘My P—y’ (I’ll let everyone fill in the missing letters). And he screamed it through the mall. “I want my P—y!!”. Ah kids.

    That’s great. Yes, embarrassing things…hmmm. When my son pointed at my breasts and giggled “boobies.” Nice things they are already learning from fellow first graders.
