Everyone who has kids, was a kid or acts like a kid knows that growing up sometimes your parents were the absolutely most embarrassing people you knew. Even if they managed to do something cool (just by using the word cool I've put myself in the uncool category) you would never let anyone know it.
Tonight by being a freak of nature I attained both gross and cool in Eli's eyes. I have a "little" habit when I'm tired. I've had this fetish for as long as I can remember. Most people I know have seen me do this at one time or another. What? Well I have no cartilage in my ears and therefore can pretty much turn the upper portion into the lower. I don't know why, why does someone twist their hair or crack their knuckles?
Anyway driving back from supper I apparently was doing this. Eli apparently had never seen me do this. From the backseat with much shock and awe I hear him say, "Oh mommy, goodness what happened?" Oops, I've just traumatized him. I uncurled my freakish ear only to hear, "ooo! yucky! gross! COOL!" Lucas who apparently had seen this phenomenon before and ever the expert when explaining things to his little brother, pipes up and says, "Mommy no hurt ear, fold inside, POP out, cool!" Thank you Lucas for your support. I may be a freak when it comes to my ear but at least for right now he thinks it's neat. I'm not sure I want to know how he tries to describe this to his friends at school tomorrow.
