Do you ever have those moments with your children where you are in public and your child does something that you are not sure if you should be mortified or throw all of the "mom" books out the door and laugh hysterically. After my Easter dress shopping extravaganza today and thinking about the days events I wondered if I am the only one that these things happen to. Here are a few things that Lexi does that I have to "talk" to her about but silently inside (and sometime not so silently, Tim often gets upset with me for laughing while we are trying to discipline Lexi...not good I know)I want to fall over laughing!
So during today's shopping on our seventh and final store looking for dress shoes for her Easter dress, after trying on many pairs...I finally had a second to find some pants for me for Sunday. As I am looking Lexi starts hiding in the racks and suddenly jumps out in front of a lady and says "BOO!" of course I am standing two feet away and give a shy smile as if to say sorry but before I could get it out Lexi then says "Lady have you seen my mom, I almost got lost!" Now a little more mortified I say "Lexi right here please stay with me" She replies "it's ok mom I ask the nice lady where you were" hmmm....mortified or not...

LOL, not mortified!! Kids will be kids :)
I would have LOVED to have seen the lady's face when Lexi stepped out and said BOO! Ha ha. Yeah, I probably would have been a little mortified but for no good reason. Annie is right. Kids will be kids!
I'll tell you about the time when Annie was three and the clerk at the store asked her where she got the bruise on her face. She said she fell down the stairs! (not true) I just totally freaked out and over reacted because it wasn't true! I just kept thinking "oh my gosh, that's what they say you would tell your kid to say, if they've been beaten."
So, I stammered and said "no Annie!! Tell them what really happened!!" (she really fell off her bike). Those clerks looked at me like I was a child beater. I was really embarrassed. The harder I tried the worse it looked. jeesh!
