Guest Post - By my Mom

TMM is doing it again. She wants to hear what our spouse's have to say, what they think. Well, Benny was going to write one but his weekend got cut way too short and didn't have time. Not wanting to disappoint C, I had my mom write one. Hope you enjoy. When you are done with mine go check out TMM's place because she has the Mr Linky thing up and you can read everyone else's.




April asked me to guest post today, and so I agreed, having no idea what I would talk to yall about. Then, I decided that I would talk about her! So, here is a chance to tell yall, and remind her, about our 3 favorite times that she managed to either shock us, or give us a preciously funny memory.

One day, at the age of almost 3, while sitting in the back seat between her two older brothers, in a very quiet moment we all heard this from her mouth: "prick, prick, prick!! What's a prick?" You could have heard a pin drop, followed by uproar of laughter from her brothers. They still remember that to this day, 25 years later.

At the age of 7, while at a Texas Ranger baseball game, out pops: "Mom, when was Daddy neutered." I would love to have had a picture of the face of the men around us at that moment. Reason behind the question - A few months earlier she wanted to know why she couldn't have a baby brother or sister. We just told her that Daddy had an operation so we couldn't have any more children. She was satisfied and all was well... until, the dog across the street was gone a couple days. When she asked the owner where the dog was, they answered: "he went to the vet to get neutered" What's that she asked, their reply "surgery so he can't have puppies." I guess she put two and two together, but sure did cause Daddy to have a red face.

Then the tables were turned. At the age of 14, sitting in the stands of her brother's college soccer game she very bluntly and not so quietly said "Mom, what's sodomy?" The poor man in front of us almost busted a gut trying to hold in his laughter. After I whispered the 2 word answer (b*** F***) in her ear, she then announced "See if I ever ask you a question again!" Gee, I bet she wished that she had learned that when she was 3.

Now she has little ones of her own, and I cherish the phone calls that start with "Mom, guess what Toot just said."

Hope yall have a good day and remember to cherish every memory that you are blessed with from your little ones. They will be grown before you know it, and you will miss those moments.
