Embarrassing moment

[PJ's Mom]

When my oldest daughter was three or so, her favorite candy was Nerds. So, because she was being a good girl (or for whatever reason) we went to the store to buy her some.

While in the candy aisle, we were standing next to an elderly black lady who was also looking at the candy. My daughter yelled, "Ooooohhh mommy. There are the niggers. Can I have them?"

I'm thinking she didn't get any candy that day.

I quickly walked from the aisle, and honestly don't even remember leaving the store.

OK, this has got to be the most embarrassing thing that's happened.....

I was in a meeting today and when it was over I got up to walk out and I ....ahem.......fluffed.......

I know, way too much information, but so totally embarrassing.

Lol, Slick. I did that in kickboxing once. All my focus was on kicking this guy and oops! I wanted to die.

I tried to explain to him about strangers and child molesters, and who to talk to and not to talk to and how he's not supposed to go anywhere without telling us first etc. etc. He was having a really hard time understanding what a stranger/child molester etc. was (especially because I didn't give him any details). So - I just told him everybody was a stranger until we said they weren't.

I hear you!!! I almost regretted having that stranger conversation with Jaden. For a long time after that, he was paranoid. He'd loudly ask me if each and every person was a bad person. I'd basically explained that bad people are people who steal and hurt people. I got into an argument with the neighbor (remember when she stole my dogs)...well, I was so heated that I told him that she's a bad person and to not go over there anymore. Well, he got confused and went to school and told the teacher that the neighbor was a bank robber.
