Mooning Monday

Yesterday looked a little something like this...

11:30 AM- Friend and her son over for lunch
2:30 PM- Pick up my 5 year old pal Josh from prek and take him home
4:00 PM- Babies R Us (where I ran into my cousin I had not seen in months and a friend of his I had never met)
5:00 PM-back home to fix dinner and spend a little time with Tonster.

Tony came home around 6:00 and I just so happened to be transferring a load of laundry from the washer to the dryer. We were chatting about our day and I told him about all of the above items. He then very casually says "Hey Hun, did you realize that your pants are completely torn in the back and you can see right through them?"

Obviously I did not believe him. Yet again another joke he is pulling on me to try and make me feel like an idiot. 

But of course I go ahead and check it out myself- sure enough- ripped all the way down one side. My mind immediately went to the lunch I had where I was playing on the floor with Izzy and crawling around with Rafi... Then to strolling down the halls of the preschool to pick up Josh... Then bending over to grab items while shopping at Babies R Us.

I could feel my face turning bright red from embarrassment, and I finally turned around to look at Tony hoping he would say "I'm sure nobody even noticed."  Instead he had his Iphone out to take pictures of my reaction, then lovingly says  "Gosh- I bet you really tramatized some kids today."

I have included a picture of the jeans (once removed) that will now be burned up along with any dignity I once had. 

Beware of Dora The Explorer

My Rafi Cat loves music & television, so naturally she is drawn to Dora The Explorer. I think it is a pretty good show as well because it helps teach me some Spanish words. And if you have read any of my other blogs, you know I need all the help I can get with this.

I decided instead of hoping Dora was on TV at any time of the day, I would just record an episode so I could play it whenever I needed it. So I just so happened to record the Christmas special. In this episode they sing a song about cleaning up. Each time it comes on Rafi starts clapping her hands and dancing to the song.

Since I know she likes this song, I sing it whenever she gets fussy. You know, in the car, at the grocery store, around the house- whenever.  The only thing is, I am not sure exactly  how to say the word clean up. So I just alternate between 2 words I think it might be.

After a couple weeks of singing this, Tony and I are going to bed one night and I say "Hey Hun, how do you say clean up in Spanish?" Is it REcoge or is it..." (I say the exact same word except I start it with an M) 

Suddenly, there is total silence. Since it is dark in the room I start to assume maybe he went to sleep in a matter of 2 seconds. Finally he says "uuhhhh, it is recoge. Why are you asking?" So I tell him "Well, Dora sings this song and I figured the word started with either an R or an M but I wasn't too sure. So I just keep alternating when I sing it to Rafi."

He then says "Do you have any idea what the other word means?!?" I assure him I do not. Until a minute ago I thought it could mean clean up!

He says "Jessica, that is a very vulgar word. It pretty much translates to the "F" word in spanish."

Not to feel like an idiot about the fact that I have been teaching my daughter profanity in spanish at the ripe old age of 7 months, I said "Well, Dora sure is playing it a little risky with that song! I don't know that Rafi will be allowed to watch her anymore!!"

This explains so much about the people looking at me in Walmart as I was singing the "Clean Up Song" trying to calm my unhappy child down....
