humiliation

Humiliation
I had a crazy start to my day. After getting Jackie off to school I returned home to prepare Bob and Shaun's lunches for a long day at work. Bob had asked me last night if I could meet him on the job site and he would have some samples of the lumber I needed to pick up for him and neither of us thought about my need for the address. She is a regular client of ours but I have never driven to her house myself and it has been years since I was last there. I kept trying to reach Bob on his cell phone but just couldn't get him to answer. So I tried contacting the client at home and at work but wasn't able to get her either. Finally I was able to get the address from the phone book did a map quest, printed it and off Brandon and I went to help Bob.
Brandon read the directions for me and got me there without a hitch. We picked up what we needed and headed to Goodwynn and sons lumber company to pick up the needed lumber. This took longer than I expected. Brandon must have circled the order desk about 50 times, drank water from the water fountain about 10 times and went to the bathroom once. Before we were all done I had to use the restroom too so I had Brandon wait in the women's room with me. Brandon looks at me and says, "Mom it is so humiliating for me to go into the women's bathroom!" I couldn't help but laugh to hear the work humiliating come from the mouth of a six year old. After I stopped laughing I asked Brandon what he knew of humiliation and he said nothing but that it was humiliating to go in there with me. I washed my hands and thought to myself I had to blog about my sons humiliation.
I didn't want to explain to him that life is full of disappointments and humiliations. It seems he is finding this out at an early age. I'm astounded daily by what this boy knows.
