Worst Mom Moments — Elevator Speech

– Posted in: Mouths of Babes, Stuff I Probably Shouldn't be Thinkin', Worst Mom Moments

From HeidiAyarbe.com

So I had to pass on this Worst Mom Moment that my friend, Heidi Ayarbe, posted to Facebook about her daughter (“A”). Incidentally, Heidi’s a kick-ass, young adult fiction writer. Her latest book is Wanted.

Awkward elevator moment at the clinic: *semi-full elevator*

A: *turns to guy next to us* What are you here for?
Man ignores her.
(Four-year-olds don’t have volume control)
A: What are you here for?
(Yep. Everyone’s paying attention now.)
Man: I’m going to the otolaryngologist
A: Why?
Man: *lowers voice* Um … I’m getting a nose job.
A: Oh.

I have never seen so many people craning to see some poor guy’s nose or a person leave an elevator so quickly with head so low his nose is plastered to his chest. No. Haven’t had the “socially inappropriate questions” talk with A yet. I’m kind of enjoying this stuff.

Or when you’re telling it, not living it!

Hilarious that he gave her such honest answers, as opposed to “doctor” and “I don’t feel well”!

I know! Do you think he just panicked?

I’m with Andrea- it’s funny that he chose to be so open about it. Gotta love kids.

Maybe he just felt like he couldn’t lie to a little kid. It’s totally funny. Who knows, maybe she changed his mind.
