How to embarrass your parents

Cayden strikes again. I swear this kid knows just how to embarrass her parents. Cayden has super senses. She smells EVERYTHING and hears EVERYTHING. We constantly hear "what's that noise??" or "what's that smell?" and have to strain our senses to figure out what she's talking about. And there always is some sound or smell but no normal person would have even noticed unless it was pointed out.

On Wednesday we went to the mall. We had a 3 year old crisis alert when Cayden's Cinderella dress up costume ripped. The thing was 2 years old and way past it's prime so it really wasn't a big deal but to a 3 year old who had just decided to wear it, it was a crisis. So we get out of the car and we are in the parking lot walking when she says:

"What's that smell?? I think maybe I farted."

As Eric and I look at each other, shake our heads, and my mouth opens to chastise her I hear chuckling. I look over and there is this family getting their child in the car and the dad is just cracking up. I wanted to go climb under the closest car! I swear we teach this kid the proper manners. In fact people always comment on her manners because even in the most stressful situations (like a child snatching another toy from her etc) she will use "Please" and "Thank you" and her favorite which is "excuse me". So why she decided to announce she farted in the parking lot is beyond me. Good thing you cannot die of embarrassment or I would have been dead a long time ago!
