glad she has a blog
Where else could I share this story?
A little background..
DH and I run our own business. We have 5 guys that work in our shop. We are a homeschooling family, so the kids are here too.
Now for the story….
DS5 comes into my office from the shop floor and says, “mom, look what I got out of your purse”
I’m doing bank recs so I’m not really paying a lot of attention. I glance over and see something white. I’m thinking it’s the tooth he just lost that the tooth fairy left in my purse because she doesn’t know where else to put them.
I do a double take and see that no, it’s not a tooth. It’s a tampon. Well, just the stuffing out of one.
I ask, “What were you doing with that?”
DS5 “I put it on the end of my tape measure and was hanging it over the guys’ heads”
….pause while my mind tries to grasp what he’s saying….
ME: What did they say?
DS5: Go show the other guys.
Yes, my dear son was danging a tampon from the end of his outstretched tape measure. The first two guys (mature that they are) told him to show the others.
Apparently it was quite amusing to everyone. Thankfully DH went out and broke up the party. He told DS5 to go tell me what he had been doing. Of course, DH was also laughing.
What makes boys do these things?
What makes grown men laugh at them?
Maybe I just be thankful he doesn’t read Kerflop’s blog.
[…] well not me. I can’t even put simple things together with directions. But whimsyboy has been all about cranes lately. He really wanted a big one he could play on. He’s been making drawings and rigging up things here at the shop (which thankfully did NOT involve tampons) We were killing time waiting for a client to show up (who I believe has stood us up) and B said “you know we could be building a crane right now” I went out a little while later and this is what I found.
