When nature calls...

WARNING: Graphic content in this post, read at your own risk!

Problem: You are out with two children by yourself and nature is calling. You don't have a stroller to put the baby in...what do you do?

Answer: The baby sits on your lap (screaming at the top of her lungs, nonetheless) while your rambunctious four year old is trying to open the door of the stall for the whole world to see! It didn't help matters that my daughter was describing my bodily functions with a loud clear voice either. I could hear a few snickers coming from the other stalls, and I was so embarrased! This was one of those times when you wait until you think everyone that was within hearing distance has exited the bathroom before you walk sheepishly out! To my dismay, there was one lone eavesdropper at the sink washing her hands. My face was bright red I'm sure, so she tried to lessen my awkwardness by talking to the baby, "I didn't know such a loud noise could come from such a little baby!" So thank you to the little old lady who tried to make the best of an embarrasing situation!

Sorry for the nature of this post...but I know there has to be a few moms out there who can totally relate to this!

LOL gwend! you poor thing! aren't kids the best at keeping us humble??

well here's my TMI story for you. a few weeks ago i had to go to the bathroom & take caleb in the stall with me. i never "touch down" on the seat in public bathrooms because it grosses me out so i just hover over & go. well caleb yells out for everyone to hear, "YOU USE THE POTTY JUST LIKE DADDY DOES!" fantastic.
