Bacon’s Show and Tell

Welcome my friends to my Bacon’s Show and Tell.  Today we are discussing embarrassing moments from childhood.  Trust me.  I have a good one to share today.  I thought long and hard and have to tell you about my daddy.  Snorts – yep poor dad. Are you ready for this?  Here we go.

When dad was a small boy – I’m going to say around 6-7 years young, his mom took him shopping with her at a local store.  This store had big tall windows all across the front of the store.  Daddy and his mom was in the store shopping for a long time and finally got to the front registers overlooking the windows.  Daddy told his mom that he needed to go to the bathroom and he was jumping all around – you know like some little boys do.  So his mom told him to go out front and wait for her there.  You know back in the day when you could actually do that with no worries that someone might take your child.

So there daddy was in front of the store and his mom was waiting patiently in line to buy her items.  That’s when it happened.  What do you ask.  Well there were snickers, then rolls of laughter and then came the pointing outside the front window.  You see, there was the cute little boy that was standing outside peeing.  Not just peeing straight into a puddle.  Oh no, that wouldn’t be my daddy.  My daddy was outside peeing on the front windows and making designs with his pee.  Shaking my piggy head.  Yep, his mother was so proud.

His mom quickly paid for her purchases, stomped outside and without missing a beat picked daddy up under her arms and continued to the car.  All the time…. daddy was continuing to pee freely in the air.  Well, he did tell her that he needed to go to the bathroom, right?

 

Bacon’s Show and Tell

Hello friends – are you having fun with my Bacon’s Show and Tell?  This month let’s talk about embarrassing moments.  I know that humans had them all of the time when growing up.  I hear stories from mom/dad and trust me – some of them are juicy!

Bacon’s Show and Tell

 WELCOME

Hello Friends – Wasn’t last month Bacon’s Show and Tell full of fun and misadventure – snorts with piggy laughter.  I think it was a snort of a great time – especially seeing my daddy taking a potty break.  I mean heck, he’s caught me in film in plenty of embarrassing moments.

I think that since last month was a hoot with all of you too, let’s do a repeat.  Find another embarrassing picture or story of your humans and share with us on

This month the story is about mom and dad.  Hold on my friends – it’s hilarious.

You see mom and dad dated for a long time before they got married.  We all know that.  But this story happens when mom had been together say about five years.  Daddy’s mom/dad took mom/dad out to lunch one weekend.  So there they were at a local Bennigan’s.  They had finished dinner and was fixing to order a dessert.

Bennigan’s at the time had this dessert called Death by Chocolate.  Something so delicious looking – full of frozen ice cream and chocolate and whip cream.  Now as kids would do when they are dating, mom/dad were making goo-goo eyes at each other and flirting.  That’s all they did during their courtship days – rolls piggy eyes.  Out of the blue, dad says to mom, “That whip cream sure would look good on your nipples.”

What in the h-e-hockey sticks did he just say in front of God and everyone?!  I’m telling you my friends.  A mouse could have farted from the kitchen and you would have heard it from the silence that overcame at the table.  Bless mom’s heart because she wanted to be beamed up by Scotty right there.  Dad turned fifty shades of red when he realized that he said that out loud.  And poor dad’s mom/dad – they had to whip their tongues back into their mouths over their son’s sudden lack of judgment.

Of course, there was some explaining to do and years later we can all laugh about it now… somewhat.

Thanks My Friends! – Mark Your Calendars

Thank you so very much my friends for participating in my first Bacon’s Show and Tell yesterday.  It was such a great joy in seeing everyone’s different favorite toys they had as children.  They brought such good memories to us here at the Hotel Thompson as I’m sure you had as well.  A special shout out to my Cousin Sammy for filling in for me yesterday.  I really appreciate your help Cousin!  I can’t say thank you enough for looking after Bacon’s Show and Tell.

Let’s mark our calendars for Thursday, July 31, 2014, to have our next Bacon’s Show and Tell.  This time though, let’s highlight that one toy that you really wanted as a child but you never got while growing up.  I’m sure we all have that one thing we dreamed about but never showed up at birthdays or Christmas.  On Thursday, July 31, 2014, let’s get that one toy finally and talk about what it meant to us.

Now as for me being PMIA (piggy missing in action) yesterday.  WOW – could it have been a longer day for us here at the Hotel Thompson?  Mommy took off work – that should have been my first clue that something was amiss during the week – especially on a Monday.  Are you ready for the breakdown?  Snorts – tighten your seat belt here we go.

First up – may I present to you Albert – mom’s Smart car.  He had his “physical” yesterday.  Yep, I said it – physical.  The good thing about a Smart car is that you can go 10,000 miles before an oil change.  It counts it down for you and let’s you know when you need to take it in for a change.  Great perk.  Down side – it takes synthetic oil and costs more than normal.  But like mom said, once every 10,000 miles makes it only getting an oil change around once a year.  And I bet you didn’t know that my mom comes from a long line of grease monkey’s.  She has been known to change her own oil – go mom – but not on Albert nope.  She hasn’t tried although she’s watched videos and wants to attempt it one day.  (And speaking of working on cars, snorts, mom has to tell you about a story with daddy on that one day).  But I digress.  So after Albert’s oil change, mom has to reset Albert to count down another 10,000 miles.  Why?  Because the professionals don’t know how to reset him.  Rolls piggy eyes.  Really?  And you call yourselves professionals – snorts.

Second up – I had to go for my yearly “physical”.  Joy. Yay.  Super.  What a fun time.  I’m going through a shedding phase – which is normal.  Mommy neglected to write this on the family calendar.  I wonder why?  Surprise for the piggy?  Sure why not.  It really wasn’t that bad – not considering.  My vet, Dr. Corine, is wonderful and she smells great.  What I don’t like is the waiting room.  Dr. Corine is an exotic pet doctor.  There was a snake as a patient in the waiting room yesterday.  You trying to give this piggy a heart attack?  Mr. Snake stayed to himself but my mohawk was up on my back.  Shivers.  And I might have – stress MIGHT – have peed on the floor.  Okay – I was a little nervous.  Who wouldn’t be with that anaconda in the room with me?  I’ve seen videos of them eating my kind.  Shivers.  But I didn’t have to wait long before Dr. Corine took me back for my “physical”.  She went down the list – eyes clear, temp good (don’t even ask – and no she didn’t buy me a drink first!), teeth good, ears good, hooves good – mom’s been doing great at keeping them trimmed.  Then we got to the weight.  I weigh a whopping 48 pounds.  WOW – I’m a pig – snorts – literally.  I’m healthy.  My pot belly is not over abundant and my face is not puffy.  But do you know Dr. Corine had the nerve to tell mommy to watch my weight?!  Watch MY weight.  Really?  Stomps hooves.  As if.  I am a miniature pot bellied piggy.  I have standards to maintain Dr. Corine.  Bite me.  Snorts.

🙂 So that’s why I was PMIA yesterday.  Of course after my “physical”, guess who else had their physicals?  Yep, mom and dad.  I think I heard mom say bite me too – snorts.
