Holiday Humiliation!!!

I was helping my sister-in-law and the other women clean up after an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner. We were visiting and talking about our kids and family. I told them about our 5 year old's most recent stunt at pre-school when I picked him up and his teacher, still feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed told me of the naughtiness. Apparently, our 5 year old went into the bathroom, closed the door, then emerged minutes later,and burst into the classroom buck naked! We all had a laugh in the kitchen as we washed dishes and put away leftovers.

Then from across the room we heard someone snicker, "look at the trampoline, he has his pants off." Our boy was wearing a shirt, his whitey tighties, and swinging his pants in the air as he jumped around. The adults laughed & some family members grabbed cameras to snap a quick photo, before the discipline began. Our clever little boy saw the cameras and heard the laughs from the adults, which pushed this kid, who will do anything for laughs, into a crazed frenzy of stripping and jumping. He was buck naked, jumping around on the trampoline. His sisters attempted to tackle him and shove his clothes back on, but he wiggled away from them and fought them off. My husband and I were horrified! He ran out, grabbed our little nudist, dressed him, carried him inside and placed him alone in a room for timeout and the "naked speech." That speech has been given far too often with this kid! It goes like this:"Where can you be naked? Only in the bathtub, or in your room when you're changing clothes." Then we make the little offender repeat to us where he can and cannot be naked.

I apologised to everyone for ruining Thanksgiving. I felt like we were in some raunchy redneck reality show. This will go down in history and be remembered years later as, "that one Thanksgiving when MY kid jumped on the trampoline naked." The only redemption is the photos that will be brought out 20 years from now to show his future fiance, we'll see who's laughing then!
