Sunday

It's Official: We are White Trash



Okay. That’s it.  We’ve truly reached new heights of lowness.  


Sunday on our way home from CHURCH, we smelled something.  It was a strong odor.  Overwhelming.  It was so bad, we pulled over.


On inspection of diapers and shoes, we discovered my son had stepped in dog poo on the playground, at church, in his new church shoes, the ones I bought to wear only to church, so they would always look nice. 


(By faith, I’m believing IT was from a dog.)


Some things just shouldn’t surprise me.


And yet it’s like someone’s screaming “GOTCHA YA!” in my face.


Every day.


So, we did what most people of low intelligence with a high sense of smell would do.  We rolled down the window and hung the offensive shoe from the shoelaces.  


All the way home.  From Church.  We are THAT family.


My white trash parenting tip: hang your sticky shoes and children out the window. All the trashy Moms do it!

Who cleaned it when you got home? I've cleaned dog poop off a sneaker and gagged the whole time. I'm surprised I survived. I shudder just thinking about it. If I were you I would have tossed that shoe out the window and never looked back. Cute story.

Um... at least the smell was temporary?? I'm looking for the positive here. And I'm not thinking "tsk-tsk", I'M thinking "hey, that's rather clever." (what can I say, I have a teenager with really scary feet)

I think that is too funny too. I don't know that I would have actually thought of doing that. I am impressed!!! hummm hang it out the window. And the wind caused by driving 75 mph down the highway might even rip some of that poo mess from the deep crevis' of the shoe!! Oh my goodness, only THAT family would think of that!! Gotta love it.

LMBO!! Great idea! If anything, at least the wind dried the poop to make it easier to get off, right? lol

You do what you have to do is our family motto. But that was funny!

That is awesome.

It's funny, I've been a nurse for a little over 12 years, and I've seen and cleaned a lot of things. However, dog poo on a shoe makes me gag everytime! I would have tossed it, I'm afraid.

Karen said...

Bwahahaha! Thanks for the laugh - it's totally something we would do.

I once hung my son's underwear out the car window because he pooped in them (had the runs) actually and I couldn't stand to be anywhere near the item lol.
