I think this is called payback

This is what they were talking about when they said, "Just wait til YOU have a daughter." Its called getting my comeuppance. And Im in T-R-O-U-B-L-E
I have to start by telling you a little bit about me as a child. I opened my mouth and said stuff.... Stuff that probably made my parents want to run and hide, or pretend they didnt know whos kid I was. Not that it has really stopped, but I do feel like I have a better handle on my filter. Although, I do have some "open mouth, shove foot in up to the knee so I never speak again." moments. And now that I have this blog, some of those moments will be broadcast to the world, HELLO INTERNET. Note: theres a very interesting post about poop coming up that Im sure will offend at least one of you. But I digress..

 One of the most famous stories illustrating this is quite famous in my family. It goes a little something like this

Me to the Lady at the fair with a million kids and a soda pop: Can I have a drink of your pop?

Lady: I think you better ask your Mom.

Me: Mom, can I have a drink of that ladys pop?

Mom in a whisper tone: No honey, you dont know what germs they might have.

Me to the lady with a million kids and a soda pop:  My Mom says I cant have a drink of your pop because your kids are dirty, but thats Ok, I can still play with them.

THATS THE KIND OF THING IM TALKING ABOUT! And it happened to me in Walmart yesterday.

While passing thru the Dairy section we came across a woman, her husband, and their 20 something son. She was standing with the dairy case open yelling at both her husband and son about lord knows what. Then they started in on her. It went back and forth while I tried to quickly get to the sugar free creamer. They yelled at her, she yelled at them. And then the moment happened.

Addison said to me in her best outside voice, "Ooh Mommy, shes ANGRY (adorable scowl on her face) Thats just terrible (shakes her head)."  Oh pleasepleaseplease let them be screaming at each other to loud to have heard that. Nope, they all stopped and looked. And looked. I beat feet and headed for the Cereal.

I am just certain that its going to get even more interesting around here.

This kids mouth is gonna write checks my butt cant cash. Wish me luck, I may have to find a Walmart with a slightly less volatile crowd.

Love,
