Same car ride home tonight...Tanner now randomly responds to Alex's walk down memory lane.
Tanner: Well, Alex, I remember a time when I was 5 years old and I fell out of a golf cart and hit my head!
Mom: Do you remember who was driving that golf cart?
Tanner: DADDY!
I start laughing hysterically. Jim has taken them golfing many times since they were about 4 years old I think. Each time Jim took them I would threaten Jim within an inch of his life that if he ever let one of them fall out of the cart. But here's the funny part - I've gone only twice - and the second time it was ME who dumped Tanner out of the cart when making a sharp turn to pick up a ball! Of course, Mom can do no wrong though :)
Dad: That is so not true. It was your Mom!
Tanner: Silly Daddy. It was you. I totally remember it. Mom didn't do that.
Mom: (laughing hysterically)
Dad: Amy - tell the truth - you need to set the record straight.
Mom: I have no idea what you mean. (still laughing...now with tears)
Tanner: Yeah - Dad. Mom didn't do that.
Dad: Amy - set the record straight or you can walk home.
Tanner: Mom isn't walking home Dad and you did it!
Then I fessed up. And the whole thing instantly became a non-issue because...Mom can do no wrong :) The joys of motherhood!

You forgot what Tanner said after you fessed up: "Dad, it was actually MY fault! I wasn't sitting all the way back in the seat! (something I preach to them every time we golf)" Mom can do no wrong indeed.
