Okay,
so a couple of years ago we were invited to attend a baby’s dedication
ceremony.
I
woke up early that morning and got myself, and our four children, dressed and
we headed to the church.
Once
there, the kids would NOT listen to me, which is actually out of their norm for
being out in public… they like to not listen to me at home, but in public they
are usually well behaved.
After
telling Angelina four times to stop
touching her sister, and not wanting to really make a scene, I leaned in really,
really close and said “I told you not to touch her again, if you
touch her one more time, we’re packing up and we are going home.”
Proud
of myself for handling this situation in a somewhat calm manner, I sat back in
the seat so I could pay attention to the rest of the ceremony… at which time my
Angelina exclaimed loudly…
“YOUR BREATH STINKS”
Everyone
in the church turned to see who she was speaking of and my other children
busted out in laughter (the first time they were all on the same side and
getting along since we arrived there) and I was MORTIFIED.
I
wanted to sink INTO the pew.
This
post was inspired by

This made me laugh out loud and cringe at the same time. I have a friend who finds gum chewing horrible. When he asked me why I always always have gum, I told him that when you have a small child, you NEVER want bad breath, as she'll announce it to the world! So, I feel your pain ;)
There is very little danger of a parent thinking too highly of themselves, is there? Not with our little reminders to be humble!
I bet you carry breath-mints now...LOL!
Too funny and embarassing all at the same time!
Happy Thursday!
As a grandmother, I've grown to laugh more than cringe...just want to hug kids at times like these.
Happy to follow you.
