Elijah and my brain are inspiring me today to write some new threads for fun. This is a thread for funny/embarrassing stories of things our children have done so the TTCers and new moms can see what they may have in store for them. So ladies, let's have it, what's the most embarrassing/funny thing your kid(s) have done in public?
To start, I have a funny story and an embarrassing story...
Funny~~~So when Elijah was 6 months old he finally got to meet my in laws. We went out to dinner with DH's mom and step dad, I'm not particularly fond of his mother...so I didn't realize it but we were almost out of wipes and didn't (the one time) bring an extra outfit with us for Elijah. My MIL wanted to hold Elijah while we were eating, and Elijah decided right after he was in her lap to poop. He had diarrhea from an upset tummy that I blamed on the flight to Pittsburgh, and it leaked out his diaper and all over her. I didn't laugh in front of her but spent a good twenty minutes in the bathroom cracking up uncontrollably, poor Elijah was laying on the changing table, and I had to keep running back and forth asking random strangers to watch him for a moment so I could get napkins since I ran out of wipes while cleaning him, he had it poop from his belly button up his back. Oh it was so horrible for him, but so funny. It may not be that funny to some of you, but my mom told Elijah to make sure he pooped all over his Grammy, and he sure did! LOL.
Embarrassing~~~So Elijah definitely picks up phrases quick, and unfortunately picked up a not so good one. I went to pick up my Korean license on post and Elijah was playing with a phone in the office we were in, so I grabbed his hand and brought him back over to the desk to sign some papers and he let out a "holy $H!T". Lol. I was so embarrassed, but it was funny too. I ignored it, hoping no one else noticed besides me, and that I was mistaken and he didn't really say it, but the Korean man handling my paper work, who barely spoke English said "where did he learn that". You know when someone who doesn't speak much English asks where your child heard "holy $H!T" then he really did say it. I'm sure I was red at that point. Needless to say I went home and told DH we definitely have to watch what we say around Elijah. Kids say the darnedest things, lol.
So that's my two stories that I can think of for now, I'm sure more will come when he gets older or later today when I remember another.
