NOT my child Monday!

Did you almost die of embarrassment when your child pulled their own pants down at the library? Want to scream bloody murder when your toddler took a pair of scissors to the dog's fur? Feel like a terrible mother when your kid said a four-letter-word at a back to school event? Well don't! Mothers aren't perfect and neither are children. Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else has not been doing this week. http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2009/08/not-my-child-monday.html

This is a very interesting mommy thing, it's nice to know I am not alone in the embarrasement of life's journey with kids.

I know it's NOT my kid who knocks on my locked bedroom door and then after no answer tells his brother and sister that mommy and daddy are doing something "inappropriate".

I know it's NOT my kid who tells an elderly lady at the grocery store that he will help her because she is so old she can't pick anything up.

I know it's NOT my kid who tells his teacher that we caravaned like gypsies through Alaska for a year when none of us have ever been to Alaska let alone caravaned like gypsies.

I know it's NOT my kid who told my mom he likes her being fat because now he doesn't need to bring a pillow out to take a nap he can just use her belly.

I know it's NOT my kid who at 18mo walked in on hubby and I having "private time" without our knowledge and then just stood there and laughed at us.

I know there are many more to come and many that have happened but just escaped my thoughts at the moment. What a great way to share some funny stories with other moms!
