It's the second Life Lessons coming all the way from Cherlee's house to your! I can hear you all getting so excited to read the next adventure that made this life lesson come about!
So here goes this week's life lesson for yah
When my daughter was four she and I went out shopping for something to do. Who doesn't like shopping for fun right! Well I notice she was coming down with a cold. So I decided to go to the nearest drug store to get some cough medicine before it became to bad. As we enter the drug store my daughter was chatting away about anything and everything. As she was chatting away I was looking for the cough medicine aisle. Once I found it I saw so many brands I had a hard time finding the one that I always used. Of course it has to be on the bottom shelf as always.
The dreaded bottom shelf urggggggg! So as I bend down my daughter was still chatting up a storm to herself I thought. But once I bent down I said a very low ouch. My daughter decides to look over at me like she always does looking concern about her old mom. I just told her "Mommy's will be ok" Her eyes looking extra big and brown so filled with concern. But as I was trying to get up I notice this really good looking guy smiling at us. I thought hmmm it nice to be notice. I flash my biggest and brightest smile. But as I was basking in the glow of this guy smiling at me I thought. My bright eye and bushy tail daughter blurt out " Mommy are you on your pereeode (that's how she said it pronounce period).
Well at this point I was turning ten shades of red and the good looking guy was laughing away. And saying how cute she was. This encouraged her more. So she asked again. Gawd I could of died of embarrassment! I quickly told her I wasn't and we had to go. As we were walking away I could hear this guy still chuckling away and saying how we made his freaken day!!!! grrrrrr glad to make his day with my many shades of red and my daughter constant chatting about my body functions.
Well I'm glad I made this guy's day but at this point I was ready to crawl in a hole. Well the reason my daughter asked me this great question was the week before I was very sick with that wonderful time of the month. And I was saying ouch alot. So I told her when she heard me saying ouch it was my period causing my tummy to really hurt so don't worry about me I'll be ok. It's very normal ect. So as you guess it her four year old mind just registered all my ouchy would always be my pereeode. I thought nothing of it until that day! So let's just say I started to keep my ouch's to myself. Less embarrassment that way! I still kid her about it and she just laugh away! Maybe I'll tell a great story about her. And I have some doozys!
So anywho this weeks life lesson is be very careful about what you tell your kids. Cause when you least expect it they open their precious little mouths and only utter a few words that sends you off the deep end of embarrassment when you least expect it.
