Maturation

Wow, life seems to have gotten a little crazy over the past couple weeks and I haven't had a chance for an update... 
Let me just start by saying I am so glad I only have one boy!  Last week we headed to Austin's maturation program (Tim was out of town, so I was the privileged one who got to experience this one!)  I am not going to go into a lot of detail here, but I do have to share one story.  After we got through all of the basics, the teacher starts asking questions about what to do in different situations, Austin has his hand up and is willing to answer any question she asks (I remember being completely terrified when I went to my maturation program!  I guess that is just one more difference between girls and boys!) Then, the teacher asks the class "If you are standing in line for lunch and get a spontaneous erection, what can you do?" Of course she called on Austin... He answers with "I would do what Quagmire does".  The look of shock crossed the teachers face before she pulled it together and called on another student, I had no idea who Quagmire was, but assumed I didn't want to ask for an explanation.  (The correct answer was ways you could hide such things, like putting your lunch tray at waist level, Not what Austin had in mind).   After we left, I asked Austin who Quagmire was, he told me he was on Family Guy.  I had seen that show, but I didn't care for it and still didn't know who this Quagmire guy was, so I asked Austin what he does... All he would tell me is "you know, mom" after a 20-minute ride home I still had no clue.  As expected, I didn't want to know who this cartoon was...  It took me asking around and doing Google searches to finally find out he is a pervert with an STD named after him.  GREAT!  Another joy of parenthood NOBODY warned me about!

  2. P.S. Now I know why you told him to stop watching that show when we were over there on Sunday! (Not that I ever liked it to begin with, in fact, I hate that show too).

    P.P.S. That was fun, Kaedyn loves Shailyn! And thanks for dinner!
