New Period of Embarrassment

Toddlers are so bluntly honest that it is funny most of the time to hear what they say but embarrassing for the parents if anyone else is around. On our recent trip to Washington D.C., Scarlett said a few things that embarrassed us if we knew for sure that someone else heard her. When we were at the Dulles airport waiting for our flight to return to San Francisco, I was buying some dinner for our flight while my husband watched our luggage with Scarlett. She needed to poop and since she knew that she had diapers on, she just decided to do it. We usually try to put her in pull-ups or diapers when we're out and not sure when the next bathroom would be available. Even though she is potty-trained, she will choose to do her business in her pull-ups or diapers because she knows that she can. She will simply proclaim that she has pull-ups or diapers on, which tells us that she has decided to "go." In any case, my husband and Scarlett were sitting near the boarding gate with all the other travelers when Scarlett did her business and loudly proclaimed, "baba, I put poo-poo out of my butt in my diapers." My husband felt so embarrassed that he called me on my cell phone to see if I was done purchasing our dinner. Then during our flight, Scarlett was watching her Winnie-the-Pooh DVD and laughing at something funny in it. She then announced loudly "I gassed out" as she was laughing. I wonder if the people in the rows in front or behind us heard her.
