One ”motherhood moment” was when I was nine months pregnant with my daughter. We went to dinner as a family and I ordered eggplant parmesan. (I had heard the “rumor” that in induced labor). When our our food arrived, my six year old son explained rather loudly to the waiter that, “Mommy’s PREGNANT! And she SURE does want the baby to come out! She’s gonna eats LOTS of eggplant! But baby wont come out! We’ve tried everything: walking the mall, we ate Mexican food, and we even went to the park! And STILL no baby!”

My funniest motherhood moment involves a Tim Gunn-inspired “make it work” moment. While feeding my baby at a MyGym birthday party, my friend said, “Don’t move! I just watched poo shoot out the diaper and trickle up your leg into your crotch.” I didn’t know what to do other than just start laughing because I would’ve certainly had a breakdown. After some ninja moves, we’d fashioned a nursing tank like a tight miniskirt and my regular shirt for a top. I never knew I would have someone else’s poo in my crotch before. Welcome to Motherhood!

I heard my two-year-old daughter landing splat on our hardwood floor and turned to see her flat on her back. I said, “Do you need mama to kiss it and make it better?” I proceeded to kiss the top of her head. She looked at me sadly and lay down in my lap, then patted her butt. I figured she just wanted some patting and rocking, but instead she stuck her butt in my face and said, “Mama… MWWWAAAAAAAA!” I guess I should have asked her what hurt before I offered to kiss and make it better….

My daughter is still a newborn so we haven’t had too many funny moments yet, but we had a laugh while pushing during her birth. When my midwife reached in to help her get under my pubic bone, she suddenly jumped back and cried, “she grabbed me!” Mila presented with her hand by her face and had gripped the midwife’s finger. She still keeps her hands by her face and still has an amazingly strong little grip.

(5) Melissa – 1 boy

I have had so many funny moments as a mother. One of them occurred when he was about two years old. We were in Target and this lady that was in the aisle with us farted it made such a little noise that no one said anything, but my son pointed and exclaimed “Mommy, she farted she farted.” I tried to leave the aisle quickly. I walked around the store a bit more and we were heading to the check out. We saw the woman again and my son went wild pointing and laughing and yelling, “There is that lady who farted.” I was mortified then, but its such a funny story.

(6) Wendy – 2 girls

My oldest daughter is at such a fun age and keeps me on my toes always. She always makes me laugh. She loves to go up to people and talk to them. Sometimes she will try to take their food. Just recently She learned how to climb over the gate and get out of the play room. She makes it known that she is out and coming down stairs. My youngest dances to music anytime it’s on and it’s so cute. I love it.

(7) Brandi – 1 boy

One of my funniest moments in motherhood, so far is when my son and I were grocery shopping, when my son saw a new mom nursing her teeny little baby.  She wasn’t covered up, and once we were closer to each other my son looks at me, points, and screams “MOMMY, LOOK, BOOBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!”  She turned around, and I told her, as my face turned red, “This is exactly why you should not teach your little one boobies means to nurse!”  She was great, and just laughed, and thankfully wasn’t offended.

(8) Kimberly – 1 girl

 We had been working with our daughter, then 18 mo, for a short time on potty training.  I took her into a public restroom and as is typical for women’s restrooms, it was hopping.  I was always reminding my daughter that we wash our hands after we go potty.  This particular time as we walked out of the stall I asked her what we do after we finish going potty.  Instead of saying “wash!” she chose to say “toot toot!”  I cracked up laughing, as did a few strangers in the neighboring stalls.  I have my wonderful husband to thank for making her aware of passing gas and teaching her “toot toot!”
