IT happened

It, yes IT! The one thing parents dread with small children, that you thought had been sleeping...soundly...in their bed for 4 hours. "Why is mommy crying??? What are you guys doing?" she says. Are we really to the locking the door point? I am mortified. Quick excuses and complete embarassment. I can't even share the excuse we made up, as it in itself is utterly embarrasing and hardly plausible. But that is the one thing we have to our advantage, you can sadly, easily fool a five year old. And you know it is not like the pause button on the VCR, you can't just push 'play' after that.
Have I permanently scarred my child? Will she have some seriously crazy flashback when she is older? I am sure she will use it against me at some point, like I know what you were doing, GROSS! It's kind of like the realization that the family dog did not go to a FARM.
