hey - she's got a bigger butt!

November 2007

It was one of those moments I had thought about frequently and hoped I would be the first parent in history not to be embarrassed by my child. We were at Meijer and Mike had just taken Drew upstairs to use the potty. Of course, we were all the way in the back of the store when he decides to tell us he needs to go - but I'm just happy he's telling us. So they are walking down the stairs and Drew has to walk them instead of being carried. Mike is trying to get his coat on when a woman walks by. I don't think much about it until Drew blurts out - She's got a BIGGER butt!! Mike & I shoot looks at each other and he immediately turns around and throws his hand over Drew's mouth. Not obvious or anything! I (luckily) have the cart in my possession and feel this is a good time to walk it back over to where it belongs which happens to be 25 feet from my boys! Mike tries not to giggle at his innocent observation, which of course fuels Drew. Dad - she's got a BIGGER BUTT! Again the hand comes flying out and by this time the woman walks back the way she came and is out of ear shot! few! And for all of you who aren't laughing, and are about to scold me, I did have a conversation in the privacy of the car, to tell Drew that it's not ok to talk about other people, unless we think they are beautiful (or handsome he adds). And we especially don't talk about their butts!
