Topic: Only A Mother Would Know

One day my mother was out, and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room reading the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy; and she watched him drink it up.

Then she said, (as only a mother would know), Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?

W.E. says thank goodness she wasn't serving Hot Chocolate.

I sure hope the toilet was flushed first!

I think I was bent on embarrassing my poor mother in public. (her friends all had nicknamed me 'Stormy')

Remember in the old movies whenever sailors saw a pretty girl they would give a wolf whistle? I couldn't whistle, but every time I saw a sailor I would go 'Woo-Woo'.

And then, since my dad was in the Army, every time I saw a soldier I would ask if he was my daddy.

Once in the grocery store, since I was running around like a maniac, my mother grabbed my arm as I went racing past, and I yelled 'Help, she's killing me!'.

I am soooo glad my sons were tamer than I was!

LOL!     That's one of those stories that are great to tell over and over.    Jan is/was MUCH more of an extrovert than I am and also not very inhibited to say the LEAST!    She was always saying things that embarrassed my parents, but they sure made for good stories.   I just remembered the time we were at the Sears Tower in Chicago together and she had the whole elevator singing.    I'm very friendly, but I'm not OUT there like she is.   I had to admit that even though was embarrassing at first, it was fun.   And the other people enjoyed it too.   ;-)

Well kids DO say (and do) the darndest things. The whole elevator sang? LOL! eom/WE

Yes! We were all tourists and Jan got us to singing. I don't even remember what now. She's a corker! Gail

That is so FUNNY!!! I'll bet your dad turned 5 shades of green, and that story was told at every party they ever went to!

Shall I tell you about the time I was sick in the middle of the night. I got up but didn't quite make it and vomited in front of the toilet. When dad got up he didn't turn on lights as not to wake anyone. He thought it was a RUG!! Yep stepped right ON that rug. eom/WE

WE...I can beat that vomit story....I was about 5, woke up in the middle of the night knowing I was going to vomit, but wanted my daddy to help me. I went in my parent's room, open my mouth to ask for help and slimed my dad's back. What a mess...he had to pull his shirt over his head to get if off. (as an adult I'd have cut it off and thrown it away). I think I was more grossed out than he was. :)Tori

How does this compare? We were on a family day trip. My brother was sitting behind my father. My brother leaned forward and vomited down my father's back, That's all I remember. (Charl)

I have one an uncle told. His friend's dog threw up. His kid was bent over cleaning it up and got to gagging, and threw up. The dad, who was coming to help the kid before the gagging turned to throw up... well, he ended up throwing up on the kid's head. - Doopy
