Ok, so I have heard thousands of times, stories of the embarrassing moments of a parent when their child blurts out something that is inappropriate.  I have always chuckled, while thinking how lucky I am that hasn’t happened.  However, for some reason it escaped me that I am only now entering the prime time for those situations to happen.   It DID…

We were going into Target, and Kayla wanted to leave her Nintendo DS on the seat, I told her:  ”we can’t do that honey, bring it with you.”   “But why mommy?”  ”Well honey, there are alot of bad people in the world, that would break into our car, and take your DS, then you won’t have it anymore.”  ”Oh that’s not nice mommy!” ” I know so bring it with you.”  ”OK.”

We continue our trip thru Target, and proceed to the checkout…

Kayla proceeds to stand up with her DS and hands the lady her new harmonica, then turns around where there is an older gentlemen and his teenage son, they happen to be Hasidic Jews.  Kayla holds her DS closer and points her finger ready to scold them, while blurting out (loudly) “are those the bad men mommy?”  I know I turned 4 shades of red, and was speechless for a moment as I scanned from the cashier,  who was trying to hold in her laughter, to the man she was talking about, who obviously clearly heard her as he paused a moment and stared at me with disgust.

I pulled away, saying no honey, and trying to explain that I was talking about people who steal.  Yet no matter what I tried to explain in my head it sounded as thou I was digging a deeper hole, so I walked as quickly as possible with head hung low, and vowed to myself  never to return to that Target.

So my husband was patiently (ha) waiting for the Fed Ex man to deliver his new Ipad today. While he had me practically glued to the door and him checking the website every 3 min, it was my Kayla who yells out “Mommy the Chipettes are here“. Chipettes being from the new movie Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel, arrived at Jett Records via Fed Ex.  I sign for the package, while she tugs at the package “let them out mommy“.  She then begins singing “All the Single Ladies“.
