Self-Deprecation...

...Thy name is Mommy.

A lot of people only blog about the sunshine and roses of being a mother.  While I do censor myself A LOT for my own reasons, sometimes it is just funnier not to.

This is one of those cases.  

So, here we go...

Last week the girls and I went out to lunch with my sister. After we took Amy back to work we went to the mall.  The girls really wanted to.  They were begging.  I had a swimsuit to return anyway.  Living where we do, the girls and I own at least five swim suits apiece.  (Honestly, I have more than five, but I hate most of them).  I wanted to get another one while they were on sale (half off!)  because soon they will be gone until January.  Yes, January.  The time for fun and sun here in the Southeast!!  ;o)  We swim until the end of September most summers and I needed another one.

That's really not the point though.  I took the girls in the fitting room with me and I try one on. I usually don't even try to attempt this but they were in a good mood and I was planning to be fast.  I can tell what I will like and what I won't like and I had been eyeing this suit since February.  Anyway, you know ladies, you keep your panties on while trying on the suit.

This brought up a whole other set of questions.

Right when I get the suit on and decide I will buy the suit it happens.

They weren't fighting.  They were being good.  But I would soon remember all the HORRIFYING things that can be said by a four year old while naked, in a fitting room (or bathroom), in the middle of a store, in a mall.

You can pretend you are too good for this to ever happen to you but you would be lying to yourself.

This is what happened.  

Jenna: MOMMY.  YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR PANTIES!

Me:  Shhhhhhh.  O.K. Thank you, Jenna.

Jenna: A HOLE.  IN. YOUR. PANTIES!!

Me: Oh, I see it.  I know now.  Thanks.

Jenna: BUT!  YOU HAVE A......

This went on for a few minutes.

Now Jenna, Ashley, everyone in the fitting room at Belk and all of you know the ugly, bitter truth.

My name is Mommy and yes, sometimes I wear panties with holes in them.

The end.
