There have been moments when Booga has looked at me doing or saying something as if to say, "Um, look crazy lady, I can manage this by myself."
It's like that Steve Martin stand up moment when he says, "I DON'T NEED YOU! I CAN DO THIS ACT ALONE! I OFTEN DO!"
Am I embarrassed by what Booga sometimes does? That would be a resounding yes. Sometimes.
Sometimes he breaks wind in public place and it's like you're downwind of a sewage plant. Birds drop from the sky, dropping dead while in flight, old women faint while passing by, dogs come running from odd places …Yes…It is that bad.
Sometimes his observations are very very true though and inappropriate at the same time.
One time he walked into the post office and the clerk behind the counter had a beard that was salt and pepper to match his hair and Booga said, as loud as he could, "Mom, what is wrong with old man?"
I said, "That's not an old man."
And without missing a beat the clerk next to him said, "Yes he is…."
Not only was I embarrassed, I was a feared for my life….I mean it was a postal clerk, in a post office, who knows what level of carnage my sons comment might propel this old man into…
And, also, I use this post office a lot and I mail a ginormous amount of junk. So, I don't want my mail going to Korea or Abu dabi ....If you catch my drift...
