Most Embarrassing Moment Award Goes To.....

Do you ever have one of those mornings at the store where you are keeping children from pulling things off the shelf, or eating stuff that you put in the cart? Well believe it or not, I was having one of those moments yesterday and today~ So I am at Walmart trying to find shoes for my daughter because for some reason the shoes that I bought at the beginning of the summer don't seem to fit her anymore, the next thing I know I look down at the floor and there is a trail of white powdered stuff on the floor. I turn around to see how long the trail is and I am not kidding, it is a trail from the children section, to the shoe section at Walmart. I look at Dylan only to find that he is covered in the basket part of the shopping cart, from head to toe of baby formula or what is left of it. So I track down an employee to let them know that we made a mess, I even offered to clean it up. The Lady roles her eyes at me and then proceeds to tell me that I should be watching my children more carefully. Well what more can I do? The kids are in the basket, did she want me to tie their hands behind their backs?

So today I tried to do the shopping thing again. I know brave right? Well, today I ran into some friends of mine at Target and while I am talking to them, Dylan is sitting in the basket part of the shopping cart, while Cameron is in the front baby part of the cart. Well the next thing I know, my friend says, he has something in his mouth. Dylan figured out how to open the box of nail polish and eat the brush and poured the nail polish all over him. Luckily, it was a really tiny bottle. You know the ones that are 3 for $1.00. So I am cleaning up polish and decide to leave. So I am checking out and get all the way out to the car. While I am putting the kids in the car, I look down and yep, there it was, the box of Sunday shoes that wasn't paid for. Yep, that is right! I stole a pair of shoes, well not really but you know what I mean. So I had to take the kids back out of the car and go back in to the customer service counter and tell, yep, the MANAGER I hadn't paid for the shoes and I forgot that they were on the bottom of my basket. I was totally surprised because the little metal detector things didn't go off when I left or even came back through, so I had know idea that they were still on the bottom of my basket until I got out to the car. I was so embarrased and I thought that I would be in trouble too. He just said thanks for being honest and coming back in to pay for them. At that point I was so greatful for the gospel and for the morals that I have been taught. One of those moments that you wish you had all the kids with you so that you could set the example for them. Talk about your excitement!
