Children Embarrass Parents Pt 3

It's payback time for Celeste's mother. She is constantly embarrassing her.

*In the mall restroom she looked up and saw an elderly lady in there and said, "Look at that woman. She is a woman."

"Yes, she is." Then the lady asked what she was saying. I told her and she laughed and said, "Yes, I am a woman."

On the way out of the bathroom. Celeste looked back and asked, "What is that woman's name, Mommy?"

"I don't know. I don't know her."

"That woman was crazy!"

"Be quiet! We don't call people that word, and you need to stop using it."

*In church, she looked back and saw a lady from the ward. She asked, "Mommy, why did that lady do that to her hair? It looks crazy!"

"Be quiet, Celeste! We don't use that word. Her hair looks nice."

"Yes, it looks nice. It looks crazy and sweet."

"No talking in church!"

*On our way home from a church activity, she turns to a lady from the ward and says, "I want to go to your house. Will you take me to your house?"

"Sure. Come on!"

"Bye, Mommy."

"Oh, no you don't," says Mommy, "and stop inviting yourself to people's houses. We don't do that it's rude."

*The Lowry family had just went to a reunion and met some of Glenn's dad's first cousins. Celeste had fun there, but on the way out. She asked, "Can I keep this?" Whenever she goes to some one's house she either asks for their things or takes them.

*A family from the ward invited them over for dinner. As Celeste's mother was strapping her into her car seat she noticed a big lump in her jacket pocket. "What is this? A ball. Where did you get it? Did you take it? We don't take things that do not belong to us. It is stealing and that is choosing the wrong." As Mom was asking her these questions, Celeste just stared at her not answering but looked much like someone who is caught in the act of doing something wrong.
