Public humiliation

Ape #1: "Mom, while we are at the mall today, can you pretend to be my cool older sister instead of my mom?"

Me: "But everyone who knows you will know that I'm your mom and not your sister."

Ape #1: "I know. It's all the people that I don't know. I'll be to embarrassed to be seen at the mall with my MOM."

Me: "But how will they know that I'm your sister? Should I wear a nametag?"

Ape #1: "Hmm. I wonder why I might be embarrassed to be with my mom."

Note: I blew our cover in the first store when I stated that my daughter needed a dressing room. So uncool.

Do remember when we went to the mall and pretended that I was mute and you were my interpreter? I think that lasted all of 5 minutes. I just can't keep my mouth shut for anything! And that we seemed to think that guys would like a mute and an interpreter is beyond me...I think most of the time my mom was embarrassed of ME! hee hee

Hahaha. I don't remember that, but for some reason I'm so not surprised!
