THE Mommy
Joe over at joeprah inspired me this morning to tell one of my most embarrassing stories. His hilarious post involved shopping with his little ones while realizing that he, um, had to find a bathroom…like NOW.
Our family has a house in Aruba. THE Daddy, Princess, BamBam and I were last there a couple of years ago. Our friends who live there have a farm and made goat soup to celebrate the New Year. Yep, they used one of their own goats. Supposedly it’s a local tradition. I’m pretty adventurous, at least I used to be, and I didn’t want to be rude, so I tried a bowl. I definitely didn’t love it…the meat on the bones kinda grossed me out. I didn’t feel so well afterwards and came down with horrible cramps and what we like to refer to as “monkey butt” (aka monkeys flying out of your butt). Come to find out, I ended up with e-coli. It lingered for over a month. When we returned to the US, I had a horrible mall incident. I was with both the kids and, thank God, my mother-in-law. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as victorious as Joe. Let's just say the saying "never trust a fart when you're over 30" has new meaning for me. Found myself purchasing new underwear that day. I’ve only ever admitted that to THE Daddy.
Got an embarrassing potty incident you’d like to share? Please leave a comment.

Hey The Mommy, like you I also commented on Joeprah blog about this entry. And, like you I was not so victorious. Thanks for sharing, it's nice to know there are other mommy's who are willing to share the embarrassing moments!
Never trust a fart...unfortunately I know that one. It is best to stifle when in doubt. Really, it was your own fault for eating that soup. If it ain't pizza or pasta in another country I get worried.
