Describe your most humbling parenting moment.

there have been so many! I guess when we got our daughter (second born) dedicated (it's like infant baptism without the water) - our firstborn was such a naughty boy and while i was trying to keep him quiet during the prayer, standing at the front of the church, my baby undid my top's buttons almost all the way down. who knew she could even do that?
