MY son used to chase my daughter around the house after she used the bathroom, insisting he smelled her hands to make sure they smelled like soap thus ensuring she had, indeed, washed them. She left her facebook up recently (On MY computer, I wasn't snooping, I swear!)and they had a recent private conversation, at 18 (her) and 23 (him) in their different states. It went something like this: (Her) "Well I'll be right back, I have to use the bathroom." (Him) "I'm probably going to bed soon so I'll just talk to you later! By the way, did you go number one or two? WASH YOUR HANDS! Ahaha." (Her) "Yes, I washed my hands, and it was number THREE, jerk!" Ahh, kids. At any age, potty jokes make me laugh. Still wondering what number three is, but I'm ok if it remains a mystery. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the late-night giggles!<br /><br />All my best,<br />Jen M.Jen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15492617424999250589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-87199323171360952582013-03-16T18:08:53.920-07:002013-03-16T18:08:53.920-07:00Cali - sorry for your loss.

Tears...I was laughing so hard!
Reminds ...Regina,<br /><br />Tears...I was laughing so hard!<br /><br />Reminds me of years ago when we took my oldest 2 kids who were 1 and 3 at the time, to Sesame Place. We were in the lazy river and my daughter, 3, got separated a bit from me. She starts yelling at the top of of her lungs, "Mommy, I'm peeing in the pool!" Mortified wasn't the word...I was hoping the pool was going to swallow me up. Twenty-three years later we are still laughing about it!<br /><br />Then there was the running joke for several years between my husband and I that he was going to get me one of those statues of the little boys peeing into the fountains. I always said I didn't need one because I had the real deal. My third child, second son, was known for peeing in the yard facing the road. For those Latham, I live on Mill Rd, very busy street and it never seemed to fail it would be rush hour! Oh yeah...smack dab in the front of our yard facing the traffic! I can only imagine what those people thought! Good thing I have a good sense of humor!<br /><br />I got a good chuckle out of all the stories!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br />hugs and peace Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753041106536400443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-23954399884304994752013-03-15T14:37:35.734-07:002013-03-15T14:37:35.734-07:00Cali,

Two days ago I lost my boyfriend in a car crash in east greenbush. One of my friends directed me to this sight in hopes of finding some comfort. You have seem to come such a long way since losing your son and I only hope I can do the same, find the strength to carry on with my dailey life. Though he was not my own flesh and blood and I could only imagine the pain of losing a child, we talked constantly about starting our own family one day. He was a terrific sportsman as well and we were so excited to sit in the stands one day to cheer on our kids as our families did for us. Any guidance or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you for you strength,<br />CaliCalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041443902538963810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-18063368322938458822013-03-15T07:03:51.098-07:002013-03-15T07:03:51.098-07:00Obviously these (except for the bank story above) ...Obviously these (except for the bank story above) were not nearly as embarassing as Chris shouting out to you about your bathroom visit in a crowded airport, but the story did drum up 3 of my favorite memories so I decided to share them all in the hopes they bring a smile to your face.

I'm glad you shared...Regina, what a cute story! I'm glad you shared it with us, and I'm sure Chris would have LOVED that he publicly humiliated you! Kids thrive on that!<br /><br />The funniest story I love to recount was when my son was just under 3 years old. We went into the bank in Delmar that we always went to! Since I only worked part-time back then, my son went with me everywhere. So he know familiar faces in the bank and was always a big hit. So this particular day there was a new bank teller. He was a nice young man who happened to be black. I didn't think much about it. Why would I? So we were waiting in line, and getting closer to the teller counter. Well Mr. Eloquent apparently realized someone at the teller counter was different. He looked puzzled, I could tell something was going on as he was focused in on the young man with an inquisitive look on his face. As we inched forward, 2 people ahead of us my son screams out "WHAT'S THAT?" pointing his pudgy little finger right at our new friend, who we later found out was Darryl. I thought he was pointing at the lollipops on the counter, but as we got up to the counter he did it again, right in Darryl's face... "WHAT'S THAT?!!!!!!!!!!!" I recovered very quickly realizing he was pointing at Darryl, saying why he's a bank teller! Everyone was laughing, even Darryl! To this day we laugh about that. Darryl was a good sport!<br /><br />Years before, when I was approaching teenager years, and my sister was still little we were in church. We went to a church that was set up in a gymnasium of a Catholic School. Well my sister was loud! Very loud. She got fixated on the crucifix that was hanging amongst the curtains on the stage. She yelled out, mid-mass when of course it was quite "Who's that hanging in the curtains!!!???" My mother was mortified. She picked my sister up and went outside, while everyone was hushing their giggles. She came back in a little while later and my sister, who obviously didn't get what my mother must have said to her outside started screaming "Jump Jesus, JUMP!" Needless to say, the compsure on the Priest who was really good friends with our family was gone at that point. My sister was pretty famous for that for quite some time and me, being a teen was furious with her. My mom tells the story really well, and it comes up at family gatherings every so often, as does the bank story. <br /><br />Then there's Ally. Ally and my son grew up going to the races with me because my now husband raced back when we met him. Ally, loving to sing, and always sung the National Anthem at the top of her lungs. So one weekend she was asked to sing the National Anthem, (when she was 5 years old) at Fonda Speedway. Little did we know it would become her 2nd favorite thing to do, singing the National Anthem at public events. Well, just after she sang the National Anthem at Fonda, a few days later we went to my son's baseball game, where of course, everyone sings the National Anthem. Well we were all singing it, in the stands and at the conclusion of the song. She was particularly proud of herself that day because she had just done it in public for the first time just days before. So she sang at the top of her lungs. Just then at the conclusion of the song, when all was quiet she screams out "GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES!!!!" Everyone burst out laughing, she started sobbing! We explained to her those words were only for at the races and while everyone thought it was adorable, she was embarassed because they were all laughing. We had no idea that she thought those were the last 4 words of the song! Now, when she's practicing before the Devils Game or some other event, finding her "note" to start singing on, I will randomly blurt out "gentlemen start your engines" and depending on her mood she will laugh or glare at me! <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218681605043607769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-82520476697398285642013-03-15T06:55:30.496-07:002013-03-15T06:55:30.496-07:00Did you know you make my day when I read your post...Did you know you make my day when I read your posts?! <br /><br />Did ya say hi to Mr. Dudas from me?!!! :)<br /><br />Have a great day..oh wait that is too much pressure!

My son who never says a word (very shy at the time) asks me in a meek voice at the end of mass if he can say good bye to Jesus. I assume he is going to wave at the crucifix and say good bye, so I say “Of course sweetheart” and help him up on the seat. Oh no!!! It is now he decides to have his voice heard, He stands on the pew flails his arm and shouts on top of his lungs to the priest walking down the isle..."GOOD BYE JESUS!!!" as I look at him in shock with my mouth gaped open my then 5 yr old stomps her foot puts her hands on her hip and in an equally loud voice replies to her brother "THAT IS NOT JESUS! THAT IS FR. THE BRA!!!!! OMG...if I wasn't 7 months pregnant I think I would have crawled under the pew!!! BTW his name was not Fr The Bra...it was Fr. DuBois...LOL<br /><br />Oh…I so can so relate!!!!<br /><br />Thanks for the laughs and for sparking one of my favorite embarrassing moment!<br /><br />XO, God Bless...You are amazing!<br />Annie143https://www.blogger.com/profile/16933909088655802448noreply@blogger.com
