Flying Jelly Bean

Jadyn had a ballet recital back in June. Since she was in the 3 to 4 year old group, it was an informal performance. It still was in a nice auditorium. We brought all our kids. I brought Jelly beans for Jonah since I knew he'd be eager to wander during the performance. We were watching the performance and Jonah was seating on my lap. He wanted to roam around so I brought out the jellybeans and I was feeding him one by one. Out of no where, he lets out a deep cough and I see this jellybean shoot out of his mouth and it proceeds to hit the woman in front of me in the back of her head. Then it falls down the back of the woman shirt. I WAS HORRIFIED! It took me a moment to realize what just happened. The woman then throws her hands up in pure disgust and whispers nastily, " WHAT IS THAT? IT'S down my shirt!" I started apologizing perfusely. I started feeling the back of her shirt to see if I could locate this lost jellybean. She kept saying, "forget it forget it!" This woman was UUUUPSET. Then I found it and I dragged it up using my hands and then I got it at the nape of her neck. It was gross. It was sticky and wet. I apologized again and she didn't say one word and just kept looking straight ahead.

My mother in law was there and she leaned over and said," That was so hilarious... look at her she's fuming mad. He's only a baby... she should be more understanding." I hope the woman will forget all about it next fall when ballet resumes. I think she's a mother of a child in another class. Thank goodness. So embarassing but so funny....
