she played with what?

i started writing to tell you about my new camera, but my hubby is watching seinfeld and they are talking about urinals... i had a flashback... so, i'll share...

one night, many moons ago, when gracie was little (probably 2-ish) we went out to dinner with our family. we're all sitting at the table and gracie decides she needs to go potty. at that point, i was rather preggers with cale, so kyle offered to take gracie... to the mens restroom. so, off they go. when they return a few minutes later, kyle's face tells me there's something going on. he tries to prepare me with "now honey, don't freak out"... what can happen in the restroom, i wonder? i've never been in the men's restroom, but how bad can it be? did she see something? did she play in the toilet? uuuhhhhh... no. kyle proceeds to tell me that while he was "otherwise occupied," gracie was playing with... well, the urinal mint (this is the part where everyone but me starts laughing hysterically). so i think ok... why's that a big deal? what's a urinal mint? they have breath mints in the bathroom? why? then he tells me... now, i could explain it, but it wouldn't do it justice, so i'll let you imagine my monumental freak out. our family, the entire family, was quite amused (acutally, most of them were crying from laughing so hard). i, on the other hand, was not... not so funny to the mama. he assured me that he'd washed her hands about a hundred times... like that's supposed to make me feel better. really?

aahhhh... good times...

now that i've gotten off on that little side story (which i hope you thoroughly enjoyed), i'll have to save camera info for another time. i'll just say that i love it and am so excited to be taking lots of pics... but not of urinals... or mints...
