Show and Tell

I've been told that I need to share this funny story with you all. I didn't find it very funny at the time, in fact, I was rather irritated. However, as the days pass, it is proving a little bit chuckle-worthy, so I decided that I could share it with you guys without blushing TOO much. When I picked up Jeremy from preschool the other day, I was informed that there was a show and tell the other day, I was told by his preschool teacher that they had a show and tell incident that day. Not the entire class, just Jeremy. Apparently the trouble all started when he asked to go to the bathroom during class. Everything was fine, one of the high school students took him to the bathroom, he did his duty, and went back to class. Apparently he didn't get help wiping his bum while he was in the bathroom, because one he got back in the classroom, he decided that we wasn't quite clean. You know the not-quite-clean itchy feeling? Well, Jeremy isn't a fan of this feeling at all. As his mother, I know this, and always wipe him very carefully. His poor unsuspecting preschool teacher, on the other hand...
The show and tell occurred when Jeremy dropped his pants in the middle of class and announced that his bum hurt, and that it was itchy. From the reports that I have heard, he was rather hysterical in his insistence that somebody help him. They were at a loss as to how to assist him, but luckily it was almost time for me to come pick him up. The adult teacher in the class helped him get his pants back up, and attempted to keep him reasonably calm until I got there, at which point I explained the problem, and escorted him back to the bathroom where I wet down a paper towel and took care of his problem.
I felt bad for the poor child being unable to explain what was bothering him, but I was mortified that it was my son that bared himself in front of all the other children and the high school students! I'm told that these are the stories that live on, and will make him cringe in front of his future prom date. I guess only time will tell.
