Once at work, my pants got a huge hole in the seat. Fortunately, I didn't have to take them outside. When the mom came home 1/2 way through the day, she gave me a beach sarong to cover myself up. It was bright orange with blue, purple, and yellow flowers. When I saw myself in the mirror, I looked pretty ridiculous! Sasha, the 15-month-old, loved the sarong with all the fringes. So we had to tie a scarf around her tush as well. She was wearing purple and got a purple scarf.
Then DH came to pick me up. When I got into the car, he asks, "Why did you run so fast to get to the car?"
This just happened yesterday, but I think I'll be laughing about it for a while.

To put him in his place, I replied out loud for all to hear, "I love you, too." He turned red. The class roared with laughter.

A friend of mine was babysitting for a little girl who was almost two. Every day the little girl would take off one of her socks and 'hide' it. At first it was really easy to find the sock but the day came when my friend could not find the sock anywhere. She asked the little girl and the toddler just smiled. My friend looked all day for that sock. When the toddler's mom came to pick her up my friend explained about the missing sock. When the mom asked the little girl where the sock was the toddler sat down and pulled both socks off the one foot! Smart kid!

This same little girl was a flower girl at age three. About four months later another friend of her mom's asked her if she would like to be a flower girl again. 'No', the toddler replied, 'I've already been down the aisle once'.

My son went thru a time when he had really stinky feet, and I said to him, (in front of his two sisters), "Your feet smell so bad, they're making my mouth water!" Of course, I meant to say my "eyes"!!! Another good one was my fresh daughter, she made me so mad I said, "I'll slap your face off the face of your face!" Just two stories that still are remembered, there are many more, of course.

My mom and I were really close many years ago, always picking on each other. One summer, I went back home to visit, and she needed to go grocery shopping, so I tagged along. I handnt embarrassed her in a while since I moved out on my own. Walking down the grocery ilse, she started getting sentimental about me being gone. So before the tears started, I got ahead of her, dropped down on my knees and started loudly begging her to be nice, not to hit me anymore and that I would be good. She very calmly turned around, leaving the basket of groceries and left the store. Keep in mind, my mother has NEVER struck me, but she sure wanted to that day. We have laughed at that day up until she went to be with our Lord..........

Then I realized the people I had rushed past were not at sinks, but urinals. I did not want to leave the stall! But I calmly opened the door and walked out of the MEN'S room, making no eye contact. Never going to make that mistake again!

He didn't and I just grabbed tissue( clean!!) and flew out the door after him. Around the house we ran, him yelling stop , "I wont do it again!" And he didn't for a long time, but encouraged his younger brothers too. Another short one that still makes me crack up. My sister and I didn't have very good singing voices, and we were well into our 30's. Went to church with mom and as we stood to sing along, lowering our vocals when we couldn't hit a high note and when we realized we were both doing the same thing, we started to giggle. Of course we tried to stop laughing, but every time we look at each other, or just thought about it, we'd start giggling all over again. Sort of a hysterical laugh. After that, we didn't sit next to each other in church!!

When my two daughters were too young to go to a public rest room by themselves I accompanied them in a restaurant. I, too, was in urgent need of the facility. To make matters worse, I had high heels on and clickity clacked to a stall without taking notice of the exposed plumbing. Upon opening the stall door I was stunned to see man, back to us, in the classic posture before the toilet. I muttered "Sorry" and back out with both kids in tow. As I dragged them to the door to make our exit one of them kept whining, "But Mommy, I have to go to the toilet". All was well when we got to the adjoining ladies' room. By the time we got back to our table DH couldn't wait to hear why I had such an attack of the giggles.

I accompanied my granddaughter to her pediatricians office visit as my son was working. After the visit we got into the packed elevator in the medical building. Everyone stood quietly as we stopped at each floor. My granddaughter, bored by the silence, announces "My grandma has worms!" and smiles all knowingly. Several people backed away from me as I said "Yes, I do" embarrassed to no end. The day before we had set up a worm farm in a container under the kitchen sink and she was so proud of them. Ann in TN
