We don't talk politics, religion or too much pro-crazy-mommy stuff here and that's because I don't like to hurt people whether on purpose or not. But, if I post a funny (now) story that will embarrass Elliot (15 years from now), is that crossing the line?
I'm honestly not sure what to do on this one and I know I can tell the story from a perspective that is less embarrassing but the bottom line ends the same way no matter how I tell it. It was 98% my fault but that doesn't help either.
And, will he even know what a "blog" is in 15 years? Or care?
I like to tell stories. It's what I do. I'd like to believe Elliot will have the same sense of humor that Fred and I do someday but there's no real way to know if he'll find it amusing or horrifying.
What would you think if you found your mom's PUBLIC JOURNAL from 15 years ago when you were 18 years old and she just told the world you peed all over the bathroom floor like a horse that hadn't peed in a week because your mom put you in a one-piece zip up for the first time ever? And that you stood there, cute and naked with your clothes at your ankles jamming your fists down saying "I'm so upset!" How your mom had to actually turn away and grin because the situation was so cute? And how your mom couldn't even get you and comfort you because there was SO MUCH PEE between you and her and she didn't want either of you stepping through it? So much that it took 2 towels and the bathroom rug just to mop it up?
I mean, really, how would you feel?
I'm just not sure if I should post about it or not.

Well sometimes we dont know were the line is so we just go for it and dont think about the people we are writing about but if they dont find out about the thing your mom wrote when you were little well theres nothing you can do because it already done and the only thing you wanted to do was to tell someone the life you are having. Well at lest you didn't tell there friends and just write it in your blog.
The thing is that dont worry just write what you want and dont think about the consequences.
Get it?
