you just have to laugh

[ALLISA]

Hi all !

I had to share this with someone who can APPRECIATE it !! ;D

On Saturday, my poor bored children had to help with chores around the house, come to work with me for a coupel of hours & then shop.....at the mall & other BORING home stores.......

Needless to say by the days end (which was really late....close to 9PM) they were ready to drop.

We were in line at the LAST STORE !! Just needed to pick up a couple of things.....the line was LONG, but I bribed my boys with the promise of GUM at the checkout....when all of a sudden.... I SMELLED IT !!

I knew there would be a huge mess as Miss Erin had on underwear & we have been having some loose stool issues lately

So, I told the boys....."We can't wait, we have to leave NOW....before it gets worse". So now they are crying because we waited all this time and they dont' even get gum !

So I let Erin walk, thinking it would minimize the mess rather than sitting in it. Luckily the car was parked right near the door, I laid her down to change her and ...... ..............

IT WAS GONE !!!

yep.....we lost it on the way out....good news is the loose stool issue has resolved itself....bad news is.....seems like it rolled into a ball & rolled on down her pant leg and out to the public !!!

LOL....I had to think it was comical, but my sons were mortified. I left them all in the car & ran back (wipes in hand) to see what the damage was....LUCKILY.....there seemed to be no one worse for the wear....I found a little round ball of it in the store near the door, but I don't think anyone stepped in it as it was pretty round & neat. I scooped it up, threw it in the trash & never looked up or around to see who was watching !!LOL I have no idewa what I would have done if someone HAD Stepped in it !! I probably would have chickend out & ran the other way !!


By the way....it ends with a good moral.....I told my sons this was the #1 reason why they shouldn't eat things that have fallen on the floor !!

Alissa,

Too funny....LOL! With kids, going anywhere can be an adventure. I love the "moral" lesson....ranks right up there with "don't eat yellow snow".!

haha that was so funny i was splitting my sides

my biggest horror ( thankfully in our house ) was when Hannah did a poo on the potty and Rebecca decided while I wasn't looking as I was cleaning Hannah up to reach in and pick it up and start walking off with it!!!!

Allisa~ That is hysterical!! I'm so so proud of you for going back to search for the lost gem! I'm afraid I would have run like the wind! And isn't it wonderful when an experience like that can turn into a learning experience for the kids??? LOL Thanks so much for sharing this story.......I was laughing like crazy!
