Kids Say the Funniest Things....Part 1

So today when we were on our way back from swimming Carter totally embarrassed me. We had just got out of the van and I still had a towel around my waist, carrying Bess, wet towels, and just looking really good when the mail person came walking up to our door at the same time we did. Okay well our mail person is a female but looks very masculant, so Carter observing the whole situation looks up at me and says, "Mom, him thinks you his girlfriend." Okay, I just stood there and said thanks for the mail and quickly unlocked my door to get into my house. I was so embarrassed.
I should have entitled this Kids Say the MOST Embarrassing Things. Notice how I also included in the title part 1? Well this isn't the first or the last of my embarrassing moments as a mother.

Actually speaking on this whole topic I have even a more embarrassing thing that happened to me about 5 months ago.
We went to my sisters church for my nieces baby blessing. I was holding her baby while she was up at the pulpit. My mom had Bess and her and my dad and Glen were all sitting to the left of me. Carter and my other niece Parker were sitting to the right of me and they started to argue a bit, meanwhile Bess was starting to get fussy. I told Glen to switch sides with me so he could handle the kids while I switched babies with my mom. I decided that Bess was probably hungry and I was going to take her out to feed her. In the process of the move Glen was sitting on my skirt. I went to stand up and my skirt came down to the middle of my thigh. Wait back up, her ward is huge and we were about 5 rows from the front. They had 3 other baby blessings that day so there was people to the back of the gym sitting and my brother in law in the row right behind me.
I didn't know what to do, it felt like I was moving in slow motion on trying to figure out if I should sit back down or just run for the door. I quickly pulled up my skirt and headed for the back door. I was so embarrassed. I know my face must have been about 10 shades of red. All I could do was smile at the people sitting behind us.
Shortly after I was in the nursing room my mom came in. She asked me if my skirt had come off. We both were laughing so hard. Actually I was crying, I don't know if because I was laughing so hard or if I was so embarrassed. The only positive things out of the whole deal is 1. I don't have to see most of those people ever again and 2. all I have to say is good thing for the G's man. I guess people could have seen alot more......know what I mean.
Needless to say I didn't not go back in the chapel.
Oh what good laughs at my expense. Now when people want to know my most embarrassing moment (like my Young Women always ask), I actually have something to tell them.

That is hilarious! I love the skirt story. At least we all know that we aren't alone!

It is amazing what kids formulate in their heads then blurt out. I'm sure your mail lady laughed too.

Too funny! I can just picture you trying to keep your composure as you leave. Ha, ha, ha! I love it!

Good move on your part, keeping your covenants and wearing your G's, not your G-string. :)
