Paybacks are in your future my dear!!

At what age do your kids STOP embarrassing you?

When do they stop saying (or yelling in the case of my 5 year old) inappropriate things in public? Things like "oh, I almost forgot to wipe" or "mommy I just got toilet paper stuck in my bottom." Both of which happened at Hobby Lobby this morning. It is even worse when they say things to complete strangers who don't know that my child is normally very sweet. After she informed me and the stranger in Hobby Lobby's bathroom that the toilet paper got stuck in her bottom she asked the lady why she uses a cane. She replied back very sweet with "it helps me walk." Then she asked why she had that thing stuck on her face. The lady replied with "this is where I was kissed by God."

Good thing I was still in the stall and I didn't have to face that nice lady. I think in about 8 years when she is 13 and hates her parents I will get her back for these and and the many more times she has embarrassed me. I think this day was pretty tame in comparison. I will have many years to think of something good to really mortify my children. The sad thing is that I will probably do it a lot when I am not even trying.
