I'M GOING INTO HIDING!!!!

Life is too funny. I have never been one to be easily embarrassed. But, my children have taught me the true meaning of the word 'embarrassing'. My kids, as lovely and wonderful as they are, have managed to make me hide my face in shame.

And now to the 'koko' of today's matter.

The other day, the kids and I went to one of our local bookstores for their Wednesday book reading. They have a wonderful lady (who my kids absolutely adore!) and she spends an hour reading children's books. My kids love it and are always so excited to go for the book reading.

Well, this day, the roads were covered in ice because of a serious snow storm from the day before, but I made sure to get them to their book reading. It turned out that we were the only ones there, and the kids loved it. The book for the day was about a dog that farts and there was an accompanying toy dog that farted, as well. It was used at various intervals during the story.

After the reading, my kids decided to play with the farting dog toy. TK asked if we could buy the toy and I, of course, said no. I also added, "Sweetie, we have enough farting going on in our house, no need for a farting toy as well."

That elicited laughter from the book reading lady and apparently, a smart comment from TE who said in the loudest voice possible and with as much gesticulation to get her point across,

"Yes mommy, because daddy farts all the time!"

I was so embarrassed, but even more embarrassed for my poor husband.

Actually, I take that back. I don't feel bad for husband because I have warned him a million times to stop his loud farting. He usually explains that he has the right to fart in his own house, and believe me I agree, somewhat. However, the kids began to think that it was fun to fart all over the place as long as they say "Excuse me", which is what their father taught them.

I always told him this day would come, that someday, his children would tell the whole world about his loud 'farting'. Clearly, that day has come, and me blogging about it doesn't help either. lol! Anyway, I still have to go into hiding for a little while. I am the one who takes the kids to the book reading. Husband gas has nothing to worry about, it's me that will be remembered as the lady whose kids 'outed' their father for farting.

How many of you did something similar to your parents? Tintin (guy) - I am sure you did. Something tells me that Kpakpando did as well. Oh, and Bumight - you look like a likely culprit. lol! And, I KNOW Catwalq was and is capable of such, hahaha!

Have a great week everyone and come on back on Friday.
