A mother and son moment |
It was the
morning of our annual youth Christmas program at church. I sat on the front pew
with the other Sunday school teachers to assist the kids if they needed
prompting. My teen son arrived at church after I did, since I had to be there
early.
When my son
arrived, he came and sat next to me on the front pew. As I watched the kids
recite their lines, my son leaned in and whispered something to me. In a
muffled tone what I heard was, mumble, mumble, “Mustache is long.”
In a hushed
tone, I repeated what I thought my son said. “Did you say your mustache is
long?”
He smiled at
me and said, “No yours is long.”
I lovingly
elbowed my son in his arm as I clapped for the little girl who had just
finished reciting her lines.
As we left
church, walking side by side, I leaned over and whispered to my son. “When you
decide to marry, may your wife’s mustache be as long as mine.”
My son just
looked at me and said, “Wow.”
Has your
child ever said something awkward in public? How did you respond?
Haha! Kids say the craziest things. Good job with your humorous comeback!
ReplyDeleteI've had a lot of awkward comments from my kids, but I always try to say something witty back.
