The time I turned 6 shades of red

My friend and I decided to take our two kindergarten boys to a Mother/Son dance a couple of weeks ago.  We got dressed up and enjoyed the fact that it was in the 70's out in mid-March.  The boys were excited to hang out and be loud and crazy.  We figured we better enjoy it now because a few years down the road they will not want to go to a dance with us. (We were pleasantly surprised to see many older boys with their moms!)

The gym at the local building was decorated for St.Patrick's Day, there was a dj with lights and video screens,  lots of cookies, popcorn, water, and punch.  The perfect set-up for our highly energetic boys!  They ran and danced.  Yelled and jumped.  They found the padded wall to be the most enjoyable part of the event.  Who doesn't like to run full speed at a padded wall?

Our group was called for the professional photograph that was included with the ticket price.  We wanted to go quick before they got dirty or sweaty (the gym was HOT).  We stood in line and filled out the information on where to send our 4x6 picture and if we wanted to spend another $15 or $20 on a photo package. 

Brendan was getting antsy waiting in line and kept trying to put his arms around my legs.  This would be fine if I had pants on.  But  no, I'm wearing a sundress.  So he thinks it is funny to try and pull it up.  I kept removing his hands and telling him how inappropriate he is behaving.  Do you think he stops?  No.  He giggles at me.  I had both of his hands in mine and asked him again to stop.  Which he finally does, only to lay on the floor and try to look up my skirt and announce to a room full of people,

"Mommy, why aren't you wearing any underwear?"  (Insert 6 year old giggling)

The lady in line behind me was silently laughing with her eyes closed.  At least I was around women who probably hear things like this all the time and not at the grocery store or church.

Moral of story: Always make sure to have visible panty lines while wearing a dress with a 6 year old.  If people look then they will know for sure you do in fact have your underwear on.

(Ignore all the nonsense around Brendan and I.  This is the only picture I have off the two of us that he isn't making a weird face)
