So we went out to dinner tonight and as we were waiting for our table both of the kids had to use the restroom so we each took one. As Brian came back from the bathroom with Callen he was rolling his eyes and laughing. Back by the restrooms was a huge table of kids eating before a school dance. I guess Callen saw them and started approaching them pointing and saying very loudly, "daddy, that is not modest!" over and over again. Brian was very embarrassed. We proceeded to have a family lesson on how WE like to dress modestly but we don't point and talk about OTHER people. So as we were telling the kids this our little buzzer started going off to tell us our table was ready. Go figure, our table was a booth right next to the crowd of teenagers. As we rounded the corner, of course Callen had to say, "See mom, I told you they are not modest." Okay, granted he was only being honest like all children are and every single girl (there was probably about 9 girls) had strapless dresses on, it was still embarrassing.
Later into our meal (you can't have a complete night until both of your kids embarrass you right?) Addie was singing a song to herself and the lady behind us turned around to gush over her and then when she turned around Addie STOOD on the bench and loudly says, "Daddy, I think I need to try to go poop!" oh man! the lady behind us lost it laughing and we were apologizing and dying of laughter and embarrassment and the whole works. Doesn't a 4 year old know that is a private matter? I guess not yet! A very eventful night! Thanks to So You Think You Can Dance for allowing me to accurately teach my children about modesty, thanks not so much to myself for not accurately teaching them how to act in public!!!

lol! I love kids! We just had a modesty FHE... and haven't had any fun outbursts in public yet, but I'm looking forward to it. (um, not really, its much funnier when it happens to someone else)
So we were at the check out at the grocery store, and there were two little kids behind us with their mom and one says, "that is a FAT baby!" (meaning Olivia of course) and the other kid says, "you don't say fat, you say CHUBBY. That's a REALLY CHUBBY baby." hahah!!! What can you say? It's true! The mom was so embarrased though!
Lately, I've been thinking about how modesty in the world's terms usually means humility like in character it really doesn't have anything to do with dress. So I'm guessing the teenagers didn't really even know what he was talking about. Your kids are really cute. And, if you're trying to figure out who this is--I'm a Taylor cousin. I love the name Logan but it doesn't go well with Lyon so I'm happy you are thinking of using it!
