So that’s why boys stand up…

I will have to write this anonymously, as it pertains to my son, and I wouldn’t want to embarrass him anymore than I already do. So it’s a typical night, and I had just sent the kids up to get ready for bed. I had specifically told my son his feet were filthy and to use a wash cloth. Of course he says, “Oh, I will shower in the morning.” “No way, no how”, I said, “just use a wash cloth and get most of the dirt off for tonight and you can still shower in the morning.” Well, as my husband and I were locking doors and putting stuff away, you know the usual night time routine, we hear our daughter yelling at him. Mind you he’s 11 and she’s 8, so we know nothing good will come of it. My husband quickly went up stairs to sooth things over, and then I heard him yelling at our son! What the? Quickly goes through my mind as I make my way upstairs to see what all the fuss is about. Well what to my wondering eyes appear, but my son wiping up pee in a puddle on the floor and around the base of the toilet. My husband sees me standing there with my mouth open and a slightly shocked look on my face. I’m pretty sure a sign was blinking on my forehead that said “what the…. happened!” My wonderful husband who was now chuckling, had to explain it to me. It would appear that my son for once was trying to multi- task, and was sitting down on the toilet to pee while cleaning his feet with a wash cloth. Unfortunately he didn’t think about ”tucking it down”, and the resulting geyser went everywhere!!
I had to laugh…all these years I have been saying how easy it is for men to pee anywhere. I guess us women have a little advantage, we can do our nails and many other functions while ‘just sitting’ there!! - mom, MI.
Listen Mom, my shoe is….

I was at my son’s middle school orientation and we were checking out the lockers when I heard a familiar sounding voice. It was one of my sons friends and her mom, and boy was she just a giggling away. She happened to be wearing her cute little Croc’s sandals and was walking as quickly as she could to keep up with her mom. Every other quick little step was followed by a very familiar and funny noise. Laughing and giggling she loudly proclaimed ”Listen, Mom, my shoe is farting!” LOL! Boy, I wish I could have embraced my Chicken Pucker movement when I was in middle school. It would have been so much less traumatic. Ha…You go girl!

Do I or Don’t I?

Some of the weirdest stuff comes out of my mouth. Every day I have to thank the Lord that people still like me!! Get this! Yesterday I was picking up my daughter from her brothers wrestling practice to take her to soccer practice. As I was rushing my daughter along and chatting with some of the other parents that were waiting around for their own sons, I so embarrassed myself. Suddenly I just stopped talking and stood perfectly still. I’m sure it was only for a second or two, but it didn’t go unnoticed. One of the moms asked me, “What’s up?” I (without thinking) replied, “Oh, I am just checking to see if I had to go to the bathroom or not.” Ha! What was going through my mind…I have no idea. Sometimes what is your head should stay there.
