Yesterday afternoon Miss C and I were at our favorite neighborhood hangout, Publix, where I was disappointed for the second time in a row to discover they were not giving out sushi samples. She, however, was quite tickled with her free chocolate chip cookie from the bakery, where every employee recognizes us from a mile away as die hard groupies, particularly of the sugar cookies with pastel sprinkles.
I maneuvered our big rig shopping car cart to the meat department and pondered something easy and on sale to throw on the grill what fantastic dinner to whip up.
Miss C wandered over from the lobster tank and made a startling (and loud) revelation.
Mommy, you forgot to wear your clothes!
Me (looking down): What?
The butcher looks up from pricing packages of meat.
That’s not clothes mommy…you sleep in that!
I realized I had on the bright blue tank top (and denim Old Navy shorts) thatΒ I usually wear to bed with my pj bottoms.
Well, at least the butcher got a mini thrill.
OMG! I would have fainted. Out of the mouth’s of babes, where is the duct tape when you need it?
I forget many things these days, but fortunately, I have not yet gone out without my clothes. I still would have panicked at the suggestion, though, wondering if it was actually true this time!
I’ve been really pooped this week (Miss A had swimmer’s ear Sunday and was up ALL NIGHT.) So for a split second I thought maybe I just had on my sports bra with my shorts. I knew I wasn’t technically nayked, as we say at our house. But when I’m tired, my brain shuts off more than usual.
I don’t know what embarrassing things my Little Peach will have to say when she really starts talking…
That is hilarious! (I would be wearing the same!)
Oh Jamie! You are not alone in this, for I, too, have worn my pj tops out in public. My children have called attention to it and luckily nobody was in earshot to hear their comments *LOL*
Maybe the butcher will give you some free porkchops next time π
That is sooooo something I would do. And my kids would throw me under the bus also.
you should have flashed him π
HAHAHAAAA! So did you wind up getting anything a little ‘extra’ from the butcher?!
π
ROFL – You gotta love the added entertainment value of kids.
Hugs,
Holly
Leave it to our little darlings to call us out like that in PUBLIC. LOL!
And people judge if we duct tape our children. π Out of the mouths of babes, right?
We lived in Georgia for two wonderful years – just your mentioning Publix brought back some memories of the south!
Shoot, I buy clothes based on wearing them straight from the street to the sheets. Saves tons of time when you are exhausted from chasing down a toddler. Yes, I officially have a toddler now. Scary.
I just LOVE it when the munchkins say embarassing things in PUBLIC–mine would ultimately say something about bodily functions so consider yourself blessed it was only about clothes!
; )
btw, I think I surfed over from KelliBelly in case you’re wondering…
Wait until they see a tampon commercial. That’s really fun!!
