"Stick it in my hole!"

So, I've written MANY times about my spirited child, Hannah. She is so full of life and energy, and SOMETIMES, the filter between the brain and mouth is missing!






I'll now recount the famous "Stick it in my hole" incident for posterity's sake. I'm a bit fuzzy on the date. I know it happened in Fresno, before we moved. I've narrowed it down to late 2005-mid 2006. I'm thinking it was in 2006 though, because I'm pretty sure we were potty training when it occurred. (Can you tell I'm a Mom? I'm referencing time according to when we were potty training! But I digress.....)




We were at a family dinner at my Parent's house. EVERYONE was there--grandparents, parents, aunt/uncle, sisters/brother and their families--EVERYONE!






As is typical of one of our family gatherings, after dinner the men were in the family room, watching something on TV (no doubt a ball game of some kind) and the women were gabbing around the dining room table.




We hear roaring laugher, and I now realize it's directed at Hannah who is (please picture this in your minds......) Legs spread apart, jumping around the family room, pointing to her crotch, and saying (with the most gleeful look on her face), "Stick it in my hole!" She repeats this strange dance probably a million times.




I'm MORTIFIED and highly entertained. The question arises, WHAT is that kid watching on TV? What kinds of movies do you watch at home? Where is she getting this stuff? WHAT?!







I have no answers! I'm 29 different shades of red, and I can't believe my beautiful, precious daughter is making such a spectacle of herself, in front of my VERY proper grandparents. I have no explanation of where she's come up with this.





She DID do it at home previously, I believe after a moment of "self discovery" whilst potty training. But I gave it NO attention, believing (incorrectly as it turns out) that by NOT saying anything, she'd not do it again.

There she is, in all of her glory, doing the "stick it in my hole" dance for the entire family to see, and believe me, she got PLENTY of attention for this little shenanigan! Such a spectacle did she make, that the incident was discussed several times--apparently in her presence too.

No, this was not a single-time incident either. Shortly after the first performance, we were at CHURCH (yes, you guessed it!), and in front of the Bishop, Hannah decided to perform her lovely "hole dance." You can only imagine what an uncomfortable time it was for all of us. I really don't remember this. Robert swears it happened. I think I've blocked it as a traumatic memory. I guess the Bishop said something like, "Wow, Hannah, that was.....interesting."

Please earth, just open up and swallow me NOW.

Incidentally, this is not the first time Hannah has bypassed the mouth filter..... On the first day of school this year, we had just dropped Toph off at class, we saw a large group of other LDS parents from our ward (a bishopric member among them). Someone complimented Hannah on her High School Musical shirt, and she replied with, “Hi. Want to see my panties?” And she was starting to pull down her shorts to show everyone! I was mortified, but realized that Hannah said what she said because her panties were also High School Musical! She was really proud of them, but I convinced her to keep her shorts on!

With Hannah in our lives, it's NEVER dull!
