While we were in Maine all of us went out to lunch together one afternoon. The waiter who took care of us had an EXTREMELY large beer belly. We're talking really, really big. It sort of looked like he was hiding a keg under his shirt! When our waiter walked up to the table to take our order Lily said as loud and as clear as can be, "Ball hiding under shirt. Lily see it?" Well, needless to say we all wanted to climb under the table! The waiter didn't bat an eye and acted like he didn't hear a thing. I tried (unsuccessfully) to divert Lily's attention...but no such luck. She asked multiple times to see the ball hiding under the waiter's shirt!
After the waiter walked away...I can only imagine to go and spit in our food...I tried to tell Lily that that wasn't a ball under his shirt...it was his tummy and she couldn't see it. I thought all was well until the waiter returned and Lily said, "Tummy??? No! Ball hiding under shirt. Lily see it!?!"
Miraculously, we got out of the restaurant alive and no one contracted food poisoning!
Here's another recent embarrassing moment. The other day Lily and I were in line at the grocery store. There was a man in front of us who had a very pronounced dimple in his chin. The man was very sweet and was chatting away to the two of us. Suddenly, Lily points at his chin and says in her serious voice, "Man boo-boo chin." I assured Lily it wasn't a boo-boo. I told her it was called a dimple and didn't hurt the man at all. The next thing I know Lily says, "Lily touch dimple." I quickly responded, "No. Can you help Mommy unload the groceries?" The man then said, "I don't mind" and leaned forward. So here we are standing over our groceries while Lily sticks her finger in this poor guy's chin!
I can even talk while I'm eating corn on the cob!
Obviously, I'm going to have to get a lot more creative with my distraction techniques!
