Just hold it
Date Added: December 29th, 2007
This story begins in a Wal-Mart bathroom…and that is funny in the making right there! Anyone with kids under three know that this is no small feet. After the turmoil of laying the paper and trying to place Kristin delicately on the seat without the paper falling back into the toilet, it’s now my turn. I know…some of you are not as anal (pardon the pun) in the public toilet areas, but anyone who knows me knows I am freaky about germs. So anyway, I have my daughter perfectly placed in the corner of the bathroom so as not to touch the door handle, the box used for feminine products, or anything else (remember…I’m a germ freak). I’m at the end of that time of the month and had spotted a little on my panty liner. Just as another woman enters the restroom, my daughter spots the lightly soiled liner, and ever so clearly says “Mommy, you pooped your pants!” How do you respond to that one? Do you deny? Do you explain? She was 2 1/2 years old at the time for goodness sake. Of course we have to wait it out for the other person to leave and so we don’t have to face their laughter when we come out. Ugh…after all, I don’t want people to think I really pooped my pants! My own little moral of the story: Leave the kids with Dad when shopping or hold it!
