the other day i was grocery shopping with the kids, and carson was riding on the front of the cart. i turned a corner and swerved to miss a teenage kid stocking the shelves, at which point, coincidentally, carson loudly proclaims (those of you who've been around carson know that the kid has no volume control -- it's either off or loud), "MOM! my [insert private male anatomy part here] is SO BIG!"
i couldn't help but notice the stocker-boy flinch and pause for the milli-est of seconds before casually resuming his stocking, maybe pretending he didn't hear? as if anyone in the store missed the memo. i responded quietly, "okay. do you need to go to the bathroom?" carson (still loud): "nope. it's just BIIIIGGGG!!!"
good heavens, child. hush.
on a less x-rated note, i showed up to mutual last night to a suprise baby shower for...me! good thing i looked extra cute, being the guest of honor and all. oh, wait. i didn't. but it was fun. we played some hilarious games, ate a perfectly refreshing fruit-sherbet-soda dessert, and i hauled away about 18 packages of diapers and wipes (PERFECT!!!) and other fabulous baby items: a soooo soft and cute fleece dragonfly blanket, an adorable girly outfit, a hair bow, some self-proclaimed "pleasant odor" butt paste, a baby tub pad, and a lullaby cd. AND, from a very thoughtful friend, a sweet-action battery-powered bubble bbq grill for carson and layla (which they've already played with ALL morning, by the way).
needless to say (but i'll say it anyway), i'm very grateful. people are so...well, nice.

What goes around, comes around. In sacrament meeting when Paul was getting potty trained, he was fascinated with all things having to do with the bathroom experience. In the quietest moment of sacrament meeting Paul was remembering earlier events of the day and hollered out at the top of his lungs: "Daddy go poopoo! Daddy go poopoo!"
hah! that's hilarious, joyce. maybe i'll leave the grocery shopping to paul...just to give him some "payback" time. :)
Oh my word, Brittney. That story is hilarious. You must've been dying. And I'm sure lots of other people in the valley have been getting a good laugh out of it too.
oh britt - that is too funny. natalie has no volume control either. it's really fun to be in public with her too :)
That is the best laugh I have had all week. Oh, life with boys....
Too funny. Last week, Cole was pretending to be a dinosaur and said to me, "let's pretend my ***** is a tail." We were at home with no one around and yet I still turned very red.
