Yes, I know that this is probably more than you want to know, but it is funny and I have been holding on to it for a few weeks now. So here goes...
As you know, Ziggy has his surgery on surgery a few Fridays ago. They told me that I had to keep him home from school for a few days. So that following Monday since the other kids went to school I decided to take him to the market with me.
Now normally, I do put the kids in the seat part of the buggy. But he likes to sit in the carriage part so that I can stack the groceries around him.
So as I am starting my shopping at the local Kroger, it is about 10:30 in the morning. This is prime time Stay at Home Mama time. Everyone is stacked at the deli counter, so I decided to start with the fresh fruits and veggies while I am waiting for my number to be called.
Ziggy was so glad to be out of the house, he just had a smile on his face from ear to ear. And then all the sudden out of no where, he stood up in the carriage.
Me: "Ziggy sit down, I don't want you to get hurt."
Ziggy: "Mama, my PEEE-NISSS is talking to me"
Me: " What?!!"
Ziggy: "My PEEE-NISSSS is talking to me"
Me: "Didn't I tell you to sit down. What is your penis saying to you honey?"
Before I had a chance to even put the bag of tomatoes into the cart, my darling son takes his shorts pulls them down with his big boy briefs and low and behold, my 2 year old son has a BONER.
Yes, he is showing me his erect PENIS.
As this page of life was torn out of my mama book, I reached for what I knew and in my best mama voice I say...
"Ziggy, Pull up your pants, you are in front of the Tomatoes!!!"
Y'all I have never been so embarrassed in all my life. But apparently the other mamas in the market thought that I handled it well because all they could do was laugh.
Just to let y'all know that you were right. I should have cherished those days when they were just out of the womb and all they wanted was to sit in my arms.
You know that this stuff is true, because no one could make this crazy stuff up. I am just not that good.
until we meet again,
And now he will never let go of it....once they find it, it's all over. Great story...and congrats on the walls.

OH...thank you for the wonderful laugh.
After raising four sons, I can honestly
tell you mine never took their pants down.
I have penis stories,but this one is pretty darn good!
