Boobies & Storytime

Today, I was a bit overenthusiastic.  I have no idea why.  Totally out of character.  It must have been the extra 15 minutes of sleep that I got before my morning work out.  For whatever reason though, I decided to stray from my normal, "let's to to Target and Kroger today, Moosey!" and go to storytime at the library instead.

We have done storytime exactly one other time and it was because we accidentally stumbled upon it when we went to the library to play with the toys and get a book.  I felt guilted into going into the story time room so that she could experience it.  I didn't love it.  It is just a bit too too cheerful for me.  Every single adult in the room, including myself has these stupid fake smiles plastered on their face while they sit there acting out the itsy bistro spider and the kids spin in circles and ignore them.

That being said, Myra liked it, so I felt obligated to go again today.  Good Mommy, right?!  Ha...read on.


So, here were are, sitting in this room with all of the other Moms and toddlers, and the librarian is reading Jamberry.  Myra is standing up half paying attention to it while I try to draw her into the story by taking about berries.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, Myra lifts up her shirt, and yells, as loud as she can, "BOOBIES!"

No f'in joke.

Because someone in the next county may not have heard her, she then pointed at her boobies and said, with a very proud smile, "MYRA BOOBIES."

Keep in mind, this was at the library.

I seriously wanted to the floor to open up and swallow me whole.  Of course everyone stared, but no one laughed.  I am not sure if it is because they were disgusted with us or if it was because I was not laughing and they didn't want to make me feel bad.  I am going to choose to believe the latter.

Right after the boobie incident

I literally just sat there in shock.  I mean, what the hell does one do in a situation like that?!

Thankfully after that, she started to enjoy herself because they sang songs and played with instruments. That distracted her from her boobies.  By that time, I had gotten over the shock and was trying not to start laughing out loud because, let's face it, it's pretty damn funny.

And all of this happened before I had my coffee.  Sigh.  I guess that is what I get for being overenthusiastic.  I think I am going to stick to Target and Kroger next week...

How have your kids humiliated you in public?!

  1. They didn't laugh? That's unreal! I would have howled. Kids are awesome. I love when they do that. Mind you, it's not my kids...

  2. I think I would have preferred Lena talking about boobies rather than her public announcing in the middle of Pizza Hut to James (when we first started dating) that sometimes the pepperoni has adverse effects on my stomach in the morning.

  3. On the bright side she didn't discuss your boobies. My little guy - only in public mind you - likes to point to my chest and yell BOOBIES! On my own I could laugh it off. My teenage daughter finds it mortifying.

  5. Lol!! That is hilarious! How do they know, at such a young age, that things like boobies and wee wees are both funny and inappropriate for public discussion?! :)

  6. I know, right?! What is wrong with those people? If it was someone else's kid, I would have cracked up laughing. Once I got over the shock of it being my kid, I had all I could do to contain my laughter. :)

  7. LOL!! I laughed out loud when I read that. How awful! I would have just wanted to crawl under the table. I mean, what else do you do?!

  8. Lol...thanks! Once a few minutes passed, it was hard for me not to laugh out loud. She actually did the same thing today to my brother's roommate. Apparently boobies have joined Elmo for hot topics of conversation. :)

  9. Very very true! It is hilarious that your son does it to you. I mean, what else can you do but laugh?! Moosey is just now realizing that I also have boobies, so we will see if she start to point them out as well.

  15. So funny! My husband was also disturbed that she knew the word. I don't know what he wanted me to teach her?! Please be sure to blog about the first time that your daughter does something like this! I also get a kick out of stories like this. Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

  16. I completely agree! If we Moms stopped to get embarrassed about every little thing, we would have less time that we already do! Kids are a trip. :)
