Loud Mouth

So Jenny, in a comment to my "Near Death Experience" post, reminded me of a story that my mom likes to tell. I was probably around 5 years old. My mom had taken me and my sisters grocery shopping and I got to sit underneath the cart on the little space where you normaly put big bags of dog food (probably because the other places in the cart were taken by my sisters). Anyway, as my mom turned the corner to the next aisle there was a very rotund lady coming towards us from the other end. My mom kept wishing that she would get through the entire aisle without me saying anything embarrasing. We passed the lady, and I was on my very best behavior. And just when my mom thought she was home free, I couldn't hold it anymore. As we were getting ready to turn out of that aisle, I said at the top of voice, "MOM, DID YOU SEE HOW FAT THAT LADY WAS?" My mom didn't even turn to see if the lady heard because there was no doubt that she had. My mom quickly turned the corner, hurried up the rest of her shopping, and left. THE END.
