The Tennessee Rash

Rushing in here while I finally have a few moments to myself to completely freak out! My Father In Law just took Chance to the store with him for a bit to gather some of the items on my list and Serenity just laid down for her well needed nap. Okay so here's what happened. My father in-law and I were discussing my Grandpa and how the blazing heat in California this week has made him ill. We started talking about how with age his immune system has weakened making him more susceptible to infections and so on. Well Out of nowhere Loud mouth Chance chimes in with" Mommy, tell Papa about how Mama had to go to the hospital on our trip". I was discreetly trying to change the subject and pass it off as no big deal. Of course Chance realizes that I am not going to elaborate on his story and becomes frustrated. He tries his darnedest to make sure we know exactly what he's referring to and with very specific details talks about how Mama walked to the hospital on our trip when we stayed at a hotel in Philadelphia. As I'm trying so desperately to shut him up he continues, "remember Mommy and Mama came back with an owee on her boy part? " OMG SHUT UP CHANCE, ARE YOU GOING TO LET THE WHOLE SECRET OUT YOURSELF RIGHT HERE AND NOW?!!!! My father in law says not one word and acts as if he hasn't heard anything suspicious. DENIAL! As I finally practically shove Chance out of the room I quickly try to salvage the situation. I play it off like Chance is crazy and doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm like "He gets so frustrated and confused. " "Oh, I know what he's talking about, when we got back from Tennessee got sick and had to go to the doctor about some weird rash". Chance again chimes in to defend himself. This is a no win situation and all I can do is escort Chance out of the room to distract him. As I re enter Pops says "well I know when he was little he used to get a lot of rashes all the time". Again I'm thinking OMG, now my Father In Law thinks that there is some crazy wicked problem with STD's in this house or something. Beth I'm so sorry I didn't know what else to say. Now as I'm reading this I am cracking up but Honey, your Dad thinks you have some kinky weird sex toy infection or something. Get me out of here!!!
