This weekend, I definitely experienced a Mommy Moment that must be shared. It’s a good thing Vicki over at Frugal Moms Knows Best does this “Mommy Moment Monday” every week, eh?

And so, here I am…sharing with you my Mommy Moment. It’s super embarrassing, but I’m not sure that it should be. Let’s examine this scenario, shall we?

My girls love Go, Diego! Go! They love it a lot. More than most kids, I think. They have every DVD memorized and can tell me exactly which episode they want to watch and exactly what video it’s on and exactly how it goes. Because of this, I have them memorized, too. If I didn’t, I would incur the WRATH of two little girls who aren’t getting their pygmy marmoset rescue fast enough. You know the type.

So, the girls are watching one of their videos in Pumpkin’s room (yes, there is a  TV in my 3 year old’s room. No, it doesn’t get cable. And no, I don’t want to hear what a horrible mother this makes me) and it’s clearly got Baby Jaguar in it because it’s Diego. He rolls with jaguars. He’s cool like that. Now..it’s not out of the ordinary for my girls to become any animal they see on TV. That day, they just happened to be jaguars. I heard a lot of “Row ROW!” coming from the room and lot of jumping. I did not foresee the next occurrence….

“JAGUARS DON’T WEAR PANTIES!”

And both of my girls come hauling tail out of Pumpkin’s bedroom and they. are. naked. I am laughing hysterically because, as you may know, jaguars also run on all fours. So, I’ve got two very short little girls that are very naked that are running around on hands and feet and yelling “ROW ROW!” just like Baby Jaguar.

It is at this very moment that I hear my husband come home. He was out and about and he chose this moment to come home. So I ran to the garage and gave him fair warning that Jaguars don’t wear panties. He had an absolutely HORROR-STRICKEN look on his face. (He doesn’t do so well with the naked baby girl thing.) He comes inside and his face turns even more HORROR STRICKEN when he sees that they are running on all fours and yelling (like a mantra, I swear) JAGUARS DON’T WEAR PANTIES!

Finally, he bribed them into clothing with chocolate chip cookies (that’s how we roll) and all was well again. But it was definitely one of the funniest things I’ve experienced as a mom. Absolutely epic.
