Welcome to a special edition of Not Me Monday! Remember, everything preceded with the word not in italics – actually happened. That’s right! This week, join MckMama as we say, “Not my child!” and share the hilarious things that there is no way our precious children were caught doing!
There is no way my sweet girls were yelling “No! My baby!” ” No, it’s mine!” They were not fighting over a… sweet potato.
One of my sons did not pretend to “toss his cookies” by opening our compost pot, leaning his head over, and making horrendous noises and faces. His comedic timing was not perfect.
My oldest daughter gave me permission to say she was not the one who put a hair scrunchie over the faucet sprayer to fill a pot.
There’s not so much more, but I’ll end with a blast from the past:
We were at a wedding – in fact, I was in the wedding as a bridesmatron (is that a word?). We had seven children at the time, and had a great time at a huge church we used to attend. During the reception, my youngest son (3 at the time) really needed to use the restroom. I pointed in the direction of the restroom, and began to follow him. On the way there, the best man from OUR wedding appeared, who we hadn’t seen in years. I said a warm hello, showed him where Dave was, said I had to take a child to the restroom and I’d be right back. It couldn’t have taken a minute. I headed toward the restroom.
Ten steps later, I did not see a side view of my son standing 4 feet outside the huge glass doors of the fellowship hall. That country-raised boy was not relieving himself irrigating a 6-foot square patch of the church lawn. This little patch of green was not in full view of 6 lanes of US 1. My husband did not laugh and snort so hard, that he could barely stumble out to help our son. Of course, we did not explain to the onlookers (did I mention my husband’s laugh is not very loud?) that, “Well, at home, you know, sometimes we just let them water a tree…”
If you can handle more, check out my other Not Me Monday posts and some of our family’s humorous moments.
