"...We Will Make Cupcakes." Her Words to a Stranger

Although this was a blog prompt from yesterday, I still wanted to create a post to honor this topic chosen by the Mom Bloggers Club.  On yesterday, my mind could not think of a time my child really said something embarrassing to another person.  But today, my mind took me back to almost 5years ago.  (I know its crazy considering I have two toddlers that always say crazy things but I think of something that occurred 5 years ago with my oldest child.) Don't judge- just keep read.  

I was a single parent living in Houston, Tx.  At this particular time, I was planning an event for a small group I was leading at my church.  Now, I would talk to an ex-companion from time to time.  But nothing serious came from that relationship.  Let's call him Mr. Waterman.  So Mr. Waterman decided to donate bottled water on behalf of the water bottle company he worked for. 

Mr. Waterman conveniently delivered the water to my home.  We played the role of not knowing one another and just keeping it strictly business in front of my child considering she did not know him. He was a stranger to her.  Therefore,  Mr. Waterman made a simple delivery.  This is how it went:

"Hi, Ms. Vargas.  I am here to deliver the water for your event,"Mr. Waterman said while placing the water by the front door.  

"Thank you, Mr. Waterman," I replied with a smile.

"Okay, have a great day," Mr. Waterman responded, while my daughter tugged on his jacket. He looks down toward her.

She looks at him with a straight face and says, "My daddy is coming back and we will make cupcakes."

Wow, I thought to myself.  At this time, CC had not seen her dad since she was really small.  We divorced when she was a year old.  He was currently living in Europe and we were in Houston. Yes, he on the other side of the world.  But this little girl knew that someday her daddy was coming back home.  I did not create this thought in her mind but she made it clear to Mr. Waterman.  At the time I was slightly embarrassed but I am sure he was even more embarrassed.

Although the statement was embarrassing it was true.  Just shy of two years later, my daughter was making cupcakes with her dad and we were married again.  

Some embarrassing things that kids say can also speak the real truth!!! 

I sure love me some cupcakes now. 

What are so outlandish things your child has said to a stranger? Was it the truth? Please share!
