MY KIDS ARE DISGUSTING!!
and
I MAY BE IN THE RUNNING FOR WORST MOM OF THE YEAR AWARD!
Yes, this does seem a bit dramatic, but all of it has a bit of truth embedded deep inside the proclamation. My children are disgusting...I have several examples from this past week to prove it and I was also a bad Mommy this week...my children ate at McDonald's for lunch two days in a row! I can hear the chorus of sighs and gasps from you all the way over here at my house! Don't worry...My kids are not overweight, I didn't bride them with Happy Meals, and 50% of their lunch consisted of yogurt parfaits. So what if they washed the yogurt down with french fries and ketchup! So, why are my kids disgusting?? Well, here are a few examples!
*While eating a yogurt tube at the park on Monday, Julia dripped a bit down onto the soft surface of the playground area. As I was on my way over to wipe it up, she got down on her hands and knees to...wait for it, wait for it...Yes, that's right! She was going to lick it up!! Luckily, my scream in utter disgust stopped her cold.
*While eating at McDonald's for lunch on Tuesday, Alex dribbled a bit of ketchup on the side of the table. As most of you know me, you know that I always wipe the table down with an antibacterial wipe before eating, but I don't think I wiped down the edge of the table. I then caught Alex (yes, my almost six year old) using his tongue to lick up the dropped ketchup! Can I gag now?
*The next day, at a different McDonald's in a different town, both Alex and Julia needed to use the facilities. While I was instructing Alex on what to do in the boy's room, Julia entered the girl's restroom. Although just two seconds behind her, I opened the door to the sight of Julia crawling under the door of the bathroom stall to get to the toilet. Luckily, there was no one in the stall but, seriously, hasn't she ever heard of a door knob?? My skin is still crawling thinking about this one...Have you ever seen a McDonald's bathroom floor?? Not good...not good at all!
*While making the Abraham Lincoln tour in Springfield on Friday, Julia spilled her pretzel fish in her carseat. Dramatic me let out a lecture to her about how I had just vacuumed out the car earlier in the week and how it is stuff like spilled pretzel fish and all the salt that comes with it that just kills me. Her response?? "Don't worry Mommy, I'll lick it up for you!" Blecccch! How do you respond to that without laughing?? I sent her on her way with her Uncle and cleaned it up quickly leaving a treat for the birds, so she wouldn't have to fulfill her promise!
I hope you enjoyed the antics of our past week!
