I have many things I could confess as a parent (and now grandparent). I've bitten the ear off a chocolate Easter bunny (a solid one, which was slated for my daughter) and had to buy another one. (This happened before Easter.)
I've dug through my kids' Halloween candy in the middle of the night, while they were sleeping, looking for some delicious milk chocolate.
I've made my teenaged son wear a rented Speedo. I've worn white socks with hole-y Crocs just to embarrass my kids. I've fallen asleep (many, many times) when babysitting my granddaughter. I've gotten my son out of bed often by just saying the word "bacon." (Confession: I never made him bacon on a school day. Never.)
So many confessions... so little time.
Margo Dill is hosting a contest. All you need is a parental (or grandparental) confession of 500 words or less. Here is the link to the post:
But hurry. The deadline is January 5 at one minute to midnight.
Thanks for the tip! I've worn black socks with hole-y Crocs, and the embarrassment of my kids was just a happy accident, nothing premeditated! The rented Speedo, though... I hope you set aside a fund for his therapy!
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassment... just icing on the cake.
DeleteMostly my sins with the grand-baby have been limited to letting him have or do things his parents forbid. But I figure spoiling him is my right as a grandma, so it doesn't count as embarrassing. :-)
