Almost died of embarassment yesterday.

Mrs.Hizzo · December 2012

At the grocery store, I gave the kids some bills to put in the Salvation Army bucket. We walked to the car and were loading groceries in the back, and I asked my oldest if he remembered why we do that. He thought for a minute and said "Yes! I remember! They use the money to help the useless people!" I stood there with my mouth hanging open and then saw that the lady next to us was looking at me like I was some slimy thing that just arrived in a ship from Mars. I said "Um...I think you mean...the homeless people?" He said "Oh yeah! That's what I meant to say! The homeless people!" My son mixes up words a lot (like, he calls chop sticks, pork chops, etc.) so it was an honest mistake, but I just know that lady thinks we go around out house b!tching about the "useless people" on a regular basis.

LOL! I would have died to, but that's so funny. Definitely one to remember and retell when he's older!

LOL I would have died and had to explain myself to everybody listening. Thanks for the laugh though!

I don't typically laugh out loud when i put LOL but I really did this time. Definitely a story to retell when he gets older.

Awww. But you know, if you really thought of them as useless you wouldn't even be donating so I'm sure the woman didn't think that.

Ditto!

That's funny. I know someone's who's young child told a flamboyantly gay man, "You're not a man!" So embarassing, but I'm sure most people go thru it with their children.
