So I've had 2 embarrassing moments this week. One happened an hour or so ago. I won "Dinner and Games" with a family in our ward at a service auction. Tonight they were making good on it. So we were sitting playing catch phrase--boys against girls--and Luke (who is sitting next to me) gets the word FEMALE. He says, "Mom is one of these." And Jonah yells out, "PREGNANT?!?"
For the record I AM NOT PREGNANT, but it was quite embarrassing and I'm not sure the people we were playing with really believe me that I'm not. Kind of reminds me of the time when Rachel was 3 1/2 and told her pre-school teacher that I was pregnant. I was not aware at the time that I was so I said NO. Then a couple of weeks later discovered that Rachel had been aware of something I wasn't!!
The other occurrence was when our neighbor (and Rachel's friend) Denver came over. I answered the door and he asked for Rachel. She was in the shower at the time, so I said she couldn't come down. He then said, "My mom was wondering if SHE can read Twilight." Well, the way he said it I thought he was talking about Rachel, and we have not let her read it yet. So I said, "No." To which he said, "Oh, are you reading it right now?" And I said, "Um, no, we just want her to wait for awhile." He got a puzzled look on his face and hesitantly said, "Okay." and turned around to leave. I started to shut the door and then realized he was not asking if RACHEL could read it, but if his MOTHER could read it. I opened the door back up and said, "Do you mean your mom wants to read it?" He said yes, and then I turned 6 shades of red. What an idiot. Could you imagine if he had gone home and told his mom we wanted her to wait a while until she reads it...like maybe when you're 50 you'll be mature enough for the relationships in this book.
I need a nap!

So funny!
Those were hilarious! Perhaps Jonah knows something you don't. At least it wasn't one of those awkward moments when someone asks you when the baby is due, and you're not pregnant. Not that I would know what that feels like....twice....
Funny! Once when Patrick was like four, the doorbell rang and I was on the phone. In those days phones were still connected to the walls. So I asked Patrick to get the door. I heard him answer and yelled from the family room "Who is it?" he answered " A fat lady". It took a second to register so I yelled "What?" realizing my mistake as the word left my mouth! He answered very loudly, enunciating each word to make sure I heard it " A-really-fat-lady!" Needless to say... embarrassing doesn't quite cover it!
You better go buy a test just to be sure. hahaha The book story was funny :)
Oh Becky! that was so funny, especially the Twilight part. That made me smile! I also chuckled at the spring break pictures that everyone in your family is in but you. That's par for the course of being a mother with a camera don't you think?! I'm almost never in pictures however Ken is learning to grab the camera from me periodically so that we can actually prove to our posterity that I actually existed.
Rachel's hair is so beautiful! Wow the kids are growing. Oh yeah, interestingly enough my neighbors parents just left for Russia for a 2 year humanitarian mission as well. Different country but a small world anyway!
Miss ya! One of these days we are going to come visit you guys.
i totally started laughing outloud about the Twilight exchange. woke the baby who was napping on my chest, oh well, that was funny.
& oh gosh, LINDA! that is such a Pat story.
