Liam was inspired to have a carwash this weekend when he saw our neighbors washing their cars. Why he decided that now would be a good time I am not sure because our neighbors are ALWAYS washing their cars. They have the shiniest cars in the tri-county area. Astronauts can probably see them from space they are so shiny. So anyways, now atleast one of our cars is a little bit shinier than it was yesterday.

We were in church today and I had to go change Colm’s diaper.  Liam decided he had to come with me, too.  So we are all in the bathroom and this woman comes in who is rather large…you know where this is going.  We all have to kind of shuffle so she can get past us to get into the bathroom and then do the same as she is leaving.  Of course, while she is leaving Liam has to say, “Mom, that lady was really fat.”  I ignore him hoping that the conversation will end.  He thinks I didn’t hear him so he says it again.  Ugh!!!!I know she has heard him and of course I have a million things running through my head as to how I should handle the situation.  Once she exits, I explain to him why that wasn’t nice and that he should NEVER say that again.  I think he was a little baffled as to why I was so upset.  But to make a bad situation even worse, when we walk out of the bathroom, she is standing in the gathering area with her husband holding her brand new baby.  I could have died.  No one who is recently postpartum should be subjected to the rantings of a 4-year old about their weight.
