We took the kids and had a great time at Discovery Gateway last week. I've debated telling this next story but I've decided to because...
- I've posted worse about the kids
- I've posted worse about Rob
- I love laughing...even at my own expense or self-dignity
- It's all part of the journey
Poor Rob walked into a mess and was talking about how it smelled really bad outside and started looking for a sewer cover. Bless his heart, he did not think for a minute it could have been me. So what do I do? I help him try to locate the guilty sewer cover then take a stop to check Avery's diaper just to announce that she was clean. (I know...it's a sick form of child abuse.) Rob continued to try to find the source of the smell as were others around us. I was so humiliated I let another one go.
I didn't gain the nerve to tell him it was me by the helicopter until we were driving home in the car. His only response was to keep reiterating "but it was so windy outside."
Don't judge me.

What exactly IS "self-dignity"? Cause I don't really think I have any either! And if I did, I'm sure I would/do sacrifice it for a good laugh, and believe me, that right there at Discovery Park, WAS a good laugh! Miss you!
Oh dear Lori.....Oh dear.
At what age are you planning on putting your kids in therapy??
Okay it is one thing to tell Rob, but the fact you are willing to post it on your blog just kills me! Crystal
This is why I love your blog! You are so real! Hahahaha! Thank you :)
Last time I was at Discovery Children's Center, we had a bunch of our kids from the autism preschool and when we got outside by the helicopter, one of the boys decided it was time for a potty break and dropped his pants right in the middle of the roof and relieved himself. He left a puddle, then pulled them up and went back to playing on the helicopter!
You post the most incredible stories. I surely have never ever done that. And to blame it on a baby, so cruel. (Please don't ask Gary to confirm this, he'd probably make something up.=)
ha ha does this not sound somewhat familiar? nursery... garbage... death threats were it ever to be mentioned again? i think you were pregnant then too! :)
You guys were looking for a sewer cover on the "roof" of the building?
No Kaylene, Lori, as she often does, misspoke (I still love ya Lori). I was Looking for a sewer vent. You know, like the ones you have on the top of your house so your drains have a way to allow gas to escape. Now let us bring the focus back to where it properly belongs…Lori. Thank you!
oh and I still love you Kaylene....in a brother-in-law way :-)
Take a look at Lori's face in the helicopter picture. It's like Rob caught her in the act.
Apparently Lori and Autistic children both think that this particular roof is a restroom. I always thought that Lori had a lot in common with autistic children.

Really Rob, when you think of it in a "per capita" way, Lori misspeaks far less than other people who speak as many words as she does in a day. I mean you can't compare the crime rate of SLC to that of EM.
Also, Brian still loves you... in a brotherly way.
Ah the pregnancy gas. You would not be the first one to have that happen to, with the need to either hide or explain oneself later....!
