Sticky Situation
Posted Jul 29th 2009by Ebenezer
As a mom of three small children I often find myself covered in stickers. A lot of stickers don’t scare me – it’s when there are only a few that scares me. Odd as it sounds, a few strategically placed stickers are much more obvious than a pants leg covered in them. I hope when people see me out and about in public and notice the stickers on the back of my shirt or the butt of my jeans or the (fill the in the blank…)… I hope they see a mom who loves to play with her kids and doesn’t mind getting sticky.
Sometimes the stickers I unintentionally wear have messages on them such as “The Best”, “Super”, “Terrific” or something similar. These are the ones that usually end up on my rear and I wonder if people think I’m applauding the appearance of my a…. backside. My butt has been known to carry many messages and I’m sure I only know about half of them. The rest I may not want to know.
The other day, my darling daughter, who is usually the culprit, saved me from leaving the house with a humiliating message on my rump. Ladies, you know those feminine hygiene stickers they put in the crotch of a new bathing suit? yes. that’s the one. Apparently one was stuck to my butt and we were walking out the door when Gracey said “Mommy, you have a sticker on your butt… I like your sticker!” I started to just say thanks and blow it off because she would say that about a tiny scrap of tape….. THANK GOD, I reached behind me to see what sticker she was referring to. Can you imagine seeing me walking through the mall with the message “Warning! Do not remove! This is for hygiene” stuck on the butt of my jeans? (or something to that effect)
Two very important lessons: 1)ALWAYS listen to your children and 2)ALWAYS make sure the hygiene stickers make it to the trashcan
