It Could Happen to You


a happier day

I know it happens to every parent at one time or another.  Probably more than once.  You are out in public and your darling angel decides to turn into a miniature version of the Tasmanian devil - only louder and more obnoxious - and despite your best efforts to calm him/her down the situation escalates and your dignity, which was hanging by a thread, disappears completely.  Yes, it happened to me yesterday.  I am now an official member of the "My child will never act that way and Then one day they do" Club.  Other parents tried to warn me it would happen.  They were right. 

As I told Rob last night, I'm still not ready to talk about what happened yesterday at Target.  But, one day I will.  Until then, I will remind myself what I read in a very wise book about toddlers:  If you're not humiliated by your child on a regular basis, you are probably not paying attention. 

"Who, me?"
