I just read your partner in crimes I mean fellow blogger’s post, Thistlewood Farms, and the two of you have me cracking up! Yours reminded me on one Christmas Eve when my Mom-in-law made all three granddaughters customer decorated sweatshirts based off of her nick name for them. My oldest daughter was Tweety so hence Tweety bird decorations, my youngest daughter was Ladybug, you get the idea and I forget what she called my niece. So my youngest brother–in-law asks, “What would mine say?” and I blurted out, Pain in the A**. At the time my niece was only about three and she was sitting right next to me! I thought her dad, my oldest brother-in-law was going to strangle me. Of course everyone was cracking up except him…

It was a few years before we got to watch her on our own….

I’m not on social media (gasp) primarily because my husband is a Public high school teacher and the kids he teaches are smart enough to hack into just about anything so I don’t want my stuff out there… If you know what I mean! Anyhoo, my epic fail has happened many times after telling one of my kids (I’ve done it to both of them so yeah, EPIC) to suck it up and stop whining over some ache or pain they are complaining about only to discover there was something more serious going on. The most memorable was when my daughter was running at the annual elementary school track meet and she noticeably pulled up half way through the race and just kind of lolly gagged the last part. When I asked her what was wrong, she replied, “my feet hurt!” To which I responded, “well, that’s what happens when you run as hard as you can, everybody else’s feet are hurting too!”. After a lot of whining, we went to the doctor to discover that she had sievers. Which is irritation in the growth plate of the foot, and painful. Yeah. Yay mom… Fail.

Well, I’m anti-Instagram (basically anti-anything “mainstream”…I know, I’m a rebel!) but I will share my fail here! Last night at our Labor Day dinner, after some wonderful rounds of Glow In The Dark Mini Golf (Putt-Putt?), the children were coloring their little menu things so I was playing a game on my phone. When things did not go well I said “Oh you stinkin’ mother”…TOTALLY refraining from the remainder of the sentence. My 7 year old sweet little girl very calmy and in a totally normal voice says “Oh wait let me guess f!@k”. I was so in shock and she was acting as if nothing happened. Meanwhile hubby and I have our menus in front of our faces laughing hysterically! Of course, we then followed with the same “That is a word for adults only and you don’t say that, blah blah blah”. Stellar mom moment (becaue I know it’s totally my fault!!).
