Subject: The Downside of Parenting
We had all those threads on great things about parenting. Now - and I know ya'll can share - we need to share with the younger parents things that we'd done that were incredibly stupid as parents.
Last night, I had to bake some cakes for the cake walk at school. It's our last year to have a "carnival," so I wanted something cool and memorable. So I get this idea in my head (and once it's there - I have to do it whether it's thought through or not). My Grandma gave me this jello mold shaped like a lobster - and it's thick enough to make a cake with. SO, I baked a red velvet lobster & some cupcakes. I mixed up some yellow icing (like butter) for my LENT cake - totally thinking I'm all cool. Kids will love something weird like this, I'm thinking. No one else will have a Lent Lobster cake. Hahaha. Yes, so clever. Anyway, once the cake cooled, I put it on a plate and took a proud look at my handy work.
NOW...picture this. It's a lobster with 2 big claws and the fluttery back tail. And it's red.

And I put the whitish yellow icing all over it and step back. Unfortunately, cake, unlike jello - doesn't show the detail that well. In fact, I couldn't make out the antennea. And I look closer. And closer. And die laughing.
It looks like a red giant penis.
Needless to say, the clever Lent Lobster cake stayed home. Thank god for the cupcakes!

No not really. My son has gotten to the stage where everything I do around his friends embarrasses him, but I'm not baking red penis cakes.
myabe someone else has a story.

So, um, uh, what did you end up doing with your penis cake?
Can I assume you cleared the local hardware shelves of their stock of shellac?

NO! I left it on my kitchen counter for Roy and his friends to wonder about. I'm waiting for the "What is this?" call. :)
Then we'll just have to eat it.
I know other parents have to have stupids stories! Come on!

When my daughter was in nursery school (3yrs old) I didn't have any clean undies for her, so I sent her with a small pair of her brothers ginch (batman). She wasn't embarrassed, but I guess the teacher who took her to the bathroom had a good laugh. Natalie thought it was funny too and sometimes she goes and puts on her brothers undies to make us laugh.
Is that mean of me?

ahhhh, i love the penis cake!
this isn't a parenting story, but my 85 yo friend (who is coming home on sunday) has a cake story. she was supposed to bake one for the local low-income housing place. they were having some dinner and raffling off cakes to tables and people went all out baking the cakes for this raffle. so she makes this great cake with raised soaked overnight in grand marnier and everything. she makes it once for a practice run. then she makes it the next weekend for the real deal only to find out she had the date wrong. so she brought the cake to another function. the next weekend she makes it AGAIN. this time, she places the cake on the roof of her car as she's loading other stuff into the backseat. then she gets in and drives off. halfway to the place, someone going the other direction stops her and says hey what's that on your roof?!? so the cake was rescued from danger and delivered to the benefit dinner. but quite a ride on the way there!
not as funny as a penis cake though!!!

So now I have a story.
I was looking at my daughters artwork and she was drawing this girl with blond hair a black hat with read lips doing things like driving in a car. So I ask if it was Barbie and she told me it was Gwen Stefani Hollaback Girl. Anyway it had been her birthday the week before and I asked he if she wanted the cd and I we went and bought it. Well we put it on and did you know that Gwen sings "my shit" through the song? I didn't and I said to Natalie "I didn't know she said that word" and she said "Oh I did, Meghan told me" ?? Meghan is 6 too and in her class. Kids know too much and I feel like an idiot.
