So when your kid is just too plain honest!

[d2vasquez]

Ok so do you every have those embarassing moments when your kid is just too plain honest....and it's at your expense.

I bought my 10yr old a cell phone for emergency purposes. I gave her a long lecture on how it's not a toy. I also explained that her friends could not use it UNLESS it was an emergency. To illustrate the emergeny part I told her that an emergency would be as if the kid was dying.

A few weeks later, Amy's friend was sick at school and asked to use her phone to call her mom. Amy did the right thing and asked me at work and life was fine. Except when the girls got home I found out when the girl asked Amy about the phone my little one straight out told her "My mom said YOU can't use the phone unless you are dying." Sometimes life is a bit hard when you have an honest child.....

LOL they are but they soooo make me earn my keep! My mother refers to that as the "mother's curse".....and at times I do believe her :)

[scrapsandsass]

Hmmm... I've heard about that curse. :) That is too funny, Darla! :)

LMAO! Too funny. Two Thanksgiving's ago every was just sitting down to the table and John and I had cooked a HUGE feast. My ds looooooooooves mashed potatoes with gravey, so the first thing I did was serve him his potatoes and somehow managed to pour scalding hot gravey on his hand. OW! Of course it's not something that just drips right off, like water, it clung there and burnt his poor little hand.

So at the next storytime at the library the librarian was asking the kids what they remember best about their Thanksgiving and little Johnny raises his hand and blurts out, "I remember how my mom burnt my hand with gravey." DOH!

LOL! When ds was about four, I was parallel parking in front of church. Dh had driven separately from me, as he had some earlier responsibilities. I, er, ever so lightly, ummm, TAPPED dh's car. :O I got out and investigated and couldn't find even a little mark on either one of our vehicles. And, I told the kids, you do NOT need to announce to Daddy that I bumped his car while we are at church. We can tell him later.

You all know where this is going, right?

We enter just as Sunday school is streaming into the Narthex. Ben sees his daddy and as loud as his little lungs could possibly manage, he yells, "DADDY! Mommy WRECKED into your car, but she says we're not supposed to tell you until LUNCH!"

Ahhhh, out of the mouths of babes....

LOL! It's always in front of a large group of people, isn't it? Ha!
