if you had to guess...  what might this family of four be talking about over such a lovely, delicious, dinner?

at an elegant restaurant..   sipping from a shared bottle of the recommended tempranillo.. 

politics?  the days activities? recent memories?  plans for tomorrow?   hopes and dreams?   food allergies and allergy season?  prayer and our spiritual life? 

we covered many topics, but the stand out for me personally..    potty talk.   like, at some point we got on the subject of how our bodies do [and do not] digest certain food and beverages..

each one of us unique in our bodies reactions to this or that...  my husband jokes,  instead of dr pepper and mt dew,  i call them "dr pooper & mt. don't"

but then that lead to an entertaining circle of personal stories about our common experience of emergency trips to the nearest restroom..  and just funny bathroom experiences in general..

what i wouldn't give to be able to hold court at a table..  tell my stories verbally,  -extemporaneously, as well as i can write them..

but!  hey,  -once again, this is how blogging is such a gift to me..    

i write it better than i could ever tell it.   and in re-reading it myself, years later..    laugh pretty hard at my own embarrassing moments..   #magicofmacys

-and it's been too long for my son to remember what his most embarrassing story was all those years ago..   and too long for me remember too.  but!  i'm pretty confident, somewhere in my paper archives, i hand wrote down a synopsis version of what he shared with me; wanting to honor and respect his privacy at the time..   one thing to share with your mom..  another to have it published.

Thank God for plumbing and public restrooms..     hallelujah & amen
