It's really funny how/when things happen. Of course, my kiddos are busy and a bit mischievous. However, I was JUST thinking how they have never really embarrassed me before. I had that thought listening to someone talk about how kids can downright embarrass you in public. Although I agreed, I was thinking, "I don't think my kids ever have." I mean...SURE...there have been countless times that they are loud or do things that make me claim that I wanted to crawl under a table, but, for the most part, they are just kids. Kids are kids. They are going to do things. I usually just have a good laugh....just shrug it off. ANYWAY. Just as you think or say things, you are usually jinxed...and I guess that I was. Tonight, I was a bit embarrassed by some behavior of my dear, little ones. It's a good thing that it was a family function. I don't really mind their forming opinions.
Tonight, was Cody and Kenny's birthday dinner. As soon as all of the nieces and nephews piled in, Faith, Cam and Mallory geared up. They ALWAYS do this...I think that they have to show off a little bit and make people laugh. Well, they took it a bit too far tonight. Recently, Faith, Cam, and Mallory have gotten on this kick of trying to think of every nasty word possible...they think that it is really funny. So, they started in with calling people "poop heads," "poops," "poot," and even "sissy." I don't even know where they got that last one. Most of my family members were given one of these names. My kids also prefer to run around naked. It's not something that we do routinely around here, trust me. Nevertheless, they ended the night with a bang....stripping down and running through the house. OMG!!! That did it. I was so irritated.
We had to have a little talk after company left. They looked so innocent and bewildered that their actions were so wrong. When told that running naked was not something that we do, Cameron asked, "Why?" Faith followed up with, "Well, can we just shake our booties?" Yes, dear. If you have your clothes on...shake away. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone has any advice on how to handle streakers, who love to talk of bodily functions please pass it along. I would be very much appreciative!!!
