And So it Begins…

Howdy, Non-Ermas. Yes, I know it has been ages. No, I don’t have a good excuse. In fact, I don’t even have a bad excuse. Any whoooo, (pun intended), today was the first time I embarrassed my son in public. We were at the Rice football game watching the Owls beat the owl pellets out of some school from the Carolinas.
I suppose I was hootin’ (yes, 2nd pun intended) and hollerin’ too energetically for the Owls because JAMP turned to me and said, “Mommy! Quit cheering and clapping! You are embarrassing me!” I imagine it’s only a matter of time before he wants me to drop him off for school a block away so no one will see me.
Being the twelve time recipient of “Mother of the Year,” which is odd since he’s only four, I’m proud to say I did not tell him he embarrassed me when one night this week, in front of my darling Mr. Gravity, he asked “Mommy, why are your boobies down there?”
“Down where?” I responded. He pointed to my tummy and said “Down there!” I smiled and asked “Where should they be, son?” He pointed just below his clavicle and said “Up here, like mine.” While I was crushed when faced with the harsh reality of gravity taking its toll (not to be confused with Mr. Gravity – he doesn’t make me pay a toll), I opted to keep my dismay to myself. Along with the response that was at the tip of my tongue… “YOU DID THIS TO ME, YOUNG MAN!!!”
