Faux Pas

Sometimes being a parent means trying to figure out the right thing to say and do when there isn't a right thing to say or do. At all.

A customer service rep at WalMart had just gotten done directing us to the garbage bags. She was nice and smiled the whole time. All in all, she did a great job.

And then, a sweet little voice piped up, loud and clear:

"Mommy, why does that lady have a huge tummy?"

Well.... The lady wasn't pregnant. If she had been pregnant we wouldn't have been nearly so flabbergasted and speechless.

I appologized simply and politely, "I'm so sorry", and my wife immediately scolded Lauren.

We couldn't really belive it had happened.
