I was trying to buy something embarrassing in Wal-mart tonight and as I was trying to find the right aisle the floor washer chased me down on aisle and up the next. I finally found what aisle I needed and was trying to pick what I needed out and here comes the floor washing zamboni and chases me away again. I try and go back to the aisle and they're stocking the shelves I need to get to. If it wasn't bad enough to be embarrassed about the product there were obstacles. I didn't realize I was in a sitcom. But all the stuff I got to distract from the one embarrassing thing, I ended up buying. I now have quilting squares. And new toothpaste. But not what I needed, because I'm shy.
When my oldest was 5 I had a nasty yeast infection while pregnant. So I wrote VAGISIL on my list for the store. Well, she was learning to read and she would always practice by reading my shopping list while I shopped. She would bring a notepad and sit in the cart and copy it and we would practice sounding stuff out. It was our routine...so I didn't even think about the vagisil. So we are at the store and she gets to that word and struggles..and I'm like..oh, er, um...that's vagisil. She asks what it is and I pause...it's um, cream...medicine cream...like the cream we put on your boo boos. So it's boo boo cream? Well, it's boo boo cream for hurt "cooties". Your cootie is hurt? Did the baby hurt it? Um, sort of...but it doesn't "hurt"...it just itches. The baby makes your cootie itch? Kind of...um Grace! Would you like to pick out cookies???
Then we are finally at the cootie cream aisle and I pick it up and she says "Itchy Cootie cream....check".
You have no shame when you have kids...you can't.
It's funny....NOW....lol....not so funny THEN. She's a teenager now...so I have plenty of opportunities to embarrass her....payback!
I have another story. One time I was talking to a guy in a band after a show of his and he was very handsome, very smart, in a band and was funny. He told a joke and I laughed and a snot bubble came out of my nose. Sometimes you just wish you could make yourself burst into flames, because that would really be the only thing to distract from the fact that a bazooka joe bubble of snot just came out of your nose in front of a handsome talented musician. I can picture the headline: "Local woman explodes into ball of fire after blowing booger at musical adonis"
