It’s a Friday Funny!

This funny goes way back to when my son, Jason (now 6) was 21 months old. I have to tell the story because I almost died of embarrassment as I walked down the aisle at church, as my best friend’s maid of honor!

My best friend, Jenn (we’ve known each other since we were 14) is also Jason’s Godmother. She asked both of us to be in her wedding - me as the maid of honor and Jason as the ring bearer. We were so excited! Jason looked so handsome in his teeny tiny little tuxedo and we had rehearsed him walking down the aisle a number of times - he knew Dad was waiting at the other end and he was ready to go. The entire wedding party is standing at the back of St. Pete’s and Paul’s Catholic Church (it’s a BEAUTIFUL big church! With a very long aisle!) waiting for the ceremony to start - Jason was due to walk down the aisle just ahead of me and the best man. It had started to get a bit warm (May in MN) in the church entry, so one of the ushers opened the doors to the outside to let in a little fresh air - and that was the end of it! Jason heard “big trucks” outside - and sure enough, there was a loader and a truck out there doing some construction on the road. With the doors open and everyone in church turned around staring, watching the first bridesmaid and groomsman walk down the aisle, my little flash of black tuxedo turns around and makes a beeline for the church door, all the while yelling at the top of his lungs in front of God and everyone “Mommy - look - oh truck! Oh Truck! OH TRUCK!” However, my little dude couldn’t quite say his “tr” sound yet and conveniently replaced it with “f” - you fill in the blanks. The rest of the wedding party just about lost their minds laughing while one of the ushers ran outside after my little dude while I walked down the aisle. That was the longest walk of my life, and I’m sure my face was as red as the roses in my bouquet!
