Memories…

At what age do kids start forming memories that will stick with them?

More specifically, do people remember things that happened when they were three and a half?

My sister was born when I was 21 months old and I have one memory of that event, so I guess I can answer my own question. Which means only one thing.

Sam is going to need therapy.

You see, Tuesday morning I had a doctor appointment – my annual visit to see the ob/gyn. It was early, I was going to head straight to work after it, and for the sake of convenience and because I didn’t have tons of other options, I took Sam with me. I brought my iPad, a couple smart phones, and told him to sit quietly.

I didn’t give it a whole lot of thought while it was all taking place, but now I am worried that it may have traumatized him – or, more accurately, will traumatize him in the future when he looks back on the time he said “Mommy, why are you naked?” and then proceeded to chat about dressing up like Captain America for Halloween while the doc was doing her thing.

This is not going to be good, people.

I mean, imagine if your husband had memories of seeing his mom get a pap smear.

**shudder**

Yeah. So if Sam catches The Gay, we’ll know why.

  1. dude. relax. sam is not going to catch The Gay from watching you get a pap. he might, however, catch it from watching chaz bono on dancing with the stars.

        1. If that’s true, then he could catch the crookedness from watching Tom Delay, or become a porn king’s strumpet by watching Kendra and Holly…hmmm.

  2. This happens all the time. If this made little boys gay, everyone with a busy momma would be gay.

  3. There aren’t many times that I literally laugh out loud when reading something on the internet, but this is one of those times.
