I don't know why I am remembering this but it is funny stuff... Please post your humble moments with your kids.

It's a brisk Sunday morning at a gas station.
I had to drive across town to go get my youngest son from G-ma's
I am running a little late for church, and also need to stop for gas. and while I am pumping gas my kids ask me if they can get a snack before church.
I usually do not allow this but I was hungry and running late.
So I leave the pump and we all go in and get some snacks.
This was so out of the ordinary for me that I walked right to the truck and got the truck started and drove off.

We got a 1/2 a block down the road and just as I passed a bum pushing a cart I saw he was laughing out loud.
And at the same time I am feeling nervous because I hear a strange tone in the wind as I am driving.
I look around but nothing seems wrong.
The kids sense there is something wrong to and are looking at me...
I look into my driver side mirror and see the Gas Pump Arm still attached to my truck.
it is whipping in the wind at about 45 mph.
And I quickly pull into a safe lane and the kids are asking me, "Whats wrong Dad?"
I jump out and pull the stupid thing out, and put it into the back of the truck.

AT THIS MOMENT MY OLDEST SON HAS A SMILE SO FRIGGIN BIG ON HIS FACE, AND IS TEXTING EVERYONE HE KNOWS ON WHAT HIS "NEVER WRONG DAD" HAS JUST DONE. lol
My youngest son does not understand the humor in this yet he is still awaiting the approval that everything is ok from me.
And although I am giggling with my oldest son. At the same time I have never done this before and I am wondering what this is going to cost me.
My mind is racing with thoughts of...
I am late.
I also pulled the arm off the the gas pump.
And I know I can not afford to pay for this
I just made my oldest son's day and apparently the bum walking his cart too.
So I turn around, and take back the arm thingy to the gas station.

I walk in the store to applause and laughter with everyone else who watched it happen.
I give the clerk my name and number and the pump arm thingy and say, I am sorry "Let me know what the damages are."
I gatta go I am late for church.

My now wife who was my girlfriend at the time and is in church and worship is at full swing.
She is looking at me like, "Why are you late?"
I just whispered to her, "Did you know that a gas pump will do over 40 mph?"
And looked strait ahead and joined the singing till she figured out what happened to me and is now cracking up too.

I was in Myrtle Beach. My

I was in Myrtle Beach. My son was about 2 at the time. I had to go into a bathroom at some outdoor mall and do some business and had to take him in there with me. When I was finished, my son looked at me and LOUDLY said "You Pooped, Momma, you pooped!" So, I waited until everyone left the bathroom before I made my exit.

I was flying back to Atlanta

I was flying back to Atlanta from NY and after a few drinks it was time to go to the bathroom. I get up and as I lock the door, I put my purse on the sink area and do my thing. As I am washing my hands the plane shook and my purse falls off the shelf and everything spills on the floor, gross. I realize my wallet isn't there and figure out it went in the toilet. I have all my credit cards in there, my parking ticket, everything.... I go to the flight attendant and tell her I have to get this back, is there any way. She said she would call ahead and see if a tech could come out and take a look. I go back to my seat. We get to Atlanta and the tech gets on and says give me your cell number and I will call u if I have any luck. About 20 minutes later he calls and has my wallet! Unbelievable! He hands me the wallet in a paper bag and a bucnch of rubber gloves. I go to the bathroom and start cleaning the credit cards, and the looks on peoples faces were priceless. As I handed the credit card to the parking lot attendant, she asked why I had gloves on and I didn't have an anwser. Anyway I get home and tell my son about 15 at the time and his only question. If I clean the cash can I keep it. I was like have at it!
