My MOST Embarrassing Moment Ever!
Okay so you know how much I love my kids, right? Well you also know that everyone tells you not to let what they do embarrass you? Usually I'm pretty good at that, I just try to laugh and say, "ah kids!" Well this time, NO CAN DO!
Sunday, Jon's dad was released as Stake President so we went up to the Stake Conference to be there for him. Adam was SO excited to go see Grandpa. The meeting went pretty well, I thought considering it is 2 hours...kind of long for little kids to sit through. But they did with minimal trips to the hall, drinking fountain, bathroom.... Afterward, Elder Hinckley and Elder Garff wanted to meet with the outgoing stake presidency and their families before we left. It was so cute, Elder Hinckley asked if everyone was there, Ari ran up jumped on Grandpa's lap and said "Yeah!" (That's not the embarrassing part.) Both Elder Hinckley and Elder Garn gave big thank yous to the outgoing stake presidencies and their families. It was very nice.
After we went up to meet them and shake their hands. Adam went up and jumped on Elder Hinckley. Jon and I gasped. But he didn't seem to mind, and shook his hand and then told him he had a mouse in his suit pocket. He then took his hand and ran it down his arm and up Adam's to his armpit and tickled him. Adam looked at him funny and said, "You don't really have a mouse, you were just pretending, huh?" Elder Hinckley looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, Yeah I really don't have a mouse." (Ok...now you may be wondering why this is SO embarrassing...it's not this...it get's better.)
We go to meet Elder Garff and shake his hand. We were then visiting a little and all the sudden Adam reaches into his pocket and extracts his keys! While doing this, all his change and contents of his suit coat pocket fall out. Adam bent down to pick up all the stuff and give it back to him. ( I am of course dying...my son just pick-pocketed Elder Garff!) So while Adam is picking everything up, Elder Garff asks if he wants a lucky quarter. Adam says yes and Elder Garff picks one to give to him. He told Adam it could go in his mission fund. Good idea! Then Grandma says yeah it's for when you get older. Adam stopped, dropped his shoulders and head and started to cry. Sort of freak out that he didn't want to die so he didn't want the quarter! If I wasn't embarrassed enough already, I really am now. Elder Garff is looking at him like what just happened. (I realized that he heard Grandma say it's for when you are old, and he thought...when I am old, I die. I don't want to die, I don't want to go on a mission, I don't want the quarter...So he had kind of a break down.) So I tried my best to calm him down, tell him he's not going to die, everythings is okay, etc. etc. And I quickly say good bye and we leave the room.
Yeah...I'll admit I was pretty embarrassed! So not only did my son pick-pocket the general authority, when he offered him a lucky quarter, he freaked out about it!
Ah kids! But what can you do about it. Love 'em anyway! At least I can laugh at it now!

If that's really your most embarrasing moment, I'm jealous! Poor Adam, tell him I don't want to get old either.
