This is why I shouldn't be a parent

No disrespect to the situation Lilbit but if I had gotten that call I would have had to fake a dropped call because I'd be busting a gut. I'd have to wait a while to talk to my kid about it with a straight face. Inappropriate but funny.

I would have had a hard time with that one too. You will surprise yourself though when these things happen though. SD has done some crazy stuff that I would have sworn I would die laughing over, but first you handle the situation and then you sit back and laugh later. Right now it seems like that will never happen, but when it is your kid and you are in the moment you will be surprised at how mature you will become.

I've had to hold back laughter many times in my years working in child care over what some of the kids said, then to have to tell the horrified parents.

With my older two there have been times that I have had to "put on a straight face" and not laugh, but inside I was busting a gut. One of the first times was the first time my oldest cussed. It was really icey outside and my mom was trying to get in her driveway but the car kept sliding out. Finally after the third or fourth time she said $hit. From the back seat I hear my sweet little two year old boy say "$hit? $hit $hit $hit!" I bout died as I glared at my mom while telling my DS "we dont say that!" LOL. There are so many others too.
