Bad Moments in Parenting

Sometimes, as a parent, ya just have these moments. 

So, I ordered a new di- er, novelty cock, right?  A cute one, from a German company, in the shape of Aphrodite.  Got it on Friday, discarded the packaging. 

Those wacky Germans included this long pamphlet with a whoooooole range of their other products.  Some vibrating, or water proof, some 100% silecone, a myriad of colors LUCKILY, none realistic looking.  When I say long pamphlet, the thing unfolded to about 2 feet long.  I was amused with it, so, I folded it all back up, and used it as a bookmark.

This morning, I get up, and I found a section of it on the floor.  The boy found it.  I asked him where the rest of it was.  He was like "that paper with all the magic wands on it?"  Me:  "Yes, yes, that's exactly right, the one with all the magic wands on it. May I have the rest?"  He produced it, all torn to pieces, I garbaged it, as I should have yesterday.

I'm so flustered.

Haha, yeah, this was a wake up call, for me to be more discreet about my, uhm, literature...

Well, yea, be hard on yourself. Just don't beat yourself up with it. :D

well seeing a probably poorly illustrated instruction sheet is way better than seeing the actual show
