We used to have a garbage picker-upper toy, but in our house, we called it the “Weiner Grabber.” My kindergartner wanted to bring it to school for “show and tell.”
On this particular day, we were late and had to go through the office. Thinking it was hilarious (and being that Calvin was holding it), I informed everyone in the office -including the Principal- the name of this gadget. I got a few weird looks and laughs, kissed my son, and sent him to his classroom.
While walking to my car, I realized I had just sent my son to school with a WEINER GRABBER, which he planned to show EVERYONE!
I emailed his teacher, informing her that he might identify his contraption as such. A few hours later, she told me that Calvin got up before the class and, with all seriousness, introduced his very own “Weiner Grabber.”
Mom of the year! I have so many moments like this, I could write a book.
What funny (or inappropriate) moments have you had as a mom?
