This is not a confession
Somebody sent me this link the other day, and I just had to share it. I think the first picture with the kids in the toy car is my favorite.
Yes, we've all had those moments we're really glad no one from Children and Youth Services is visiting.
Not that I'm admitting to anything, but if I were to have had a moment like this recently, here's what might have occurred:
My husband could have been sitting at the kitchen table, holding Noah in a sitting position by having Noah hold on to one of Damon's fingers with each hand. And I could have leaned over to smooch that cute baby on the nose, which could have surprised him, causing him to jerk his head backward.
And Noah could have, despite the fact that we were both within inches of him, lost his balance so quickly that he fell and thwacked the back of his little baby head on the kitchen table.
If this had happened, I'm sure he would have been just fine after crying really hard for a couple of minutes. And I could have been a wreck and checked him all day to make sure he didn't have a concussion. Which he wouldn't have had, thank goodness.
But, as I said, this is not a confession. =)
Got any stories about things that could have happened but didn't that you want to share?

There might have been a mother-in-law who once asked a mom where she kept the washcloths to clean the children's faces in the morning. And that mom might have realized that she never washed her children's faces in the morning (but quickly found a washcloth, turned to the children and said, "Time to wash your faces! It's how we start our day!")

Now, this is coming from a non-parent, but few of those pictures would prove anyone was a Bad Mom. Good grief, let 'em be kids. Spilled spaghetti and powder drink and chocolate syrup can be cleaned up. And "Not Beth", why waste water by washing their faces? If they're lucky, they'll be dirty again in 20 minutes.
