Rest-room Story

To all of you mommies. I was laughing so hard - I cried
A 3-year-old tells all from his mother's restroom stall.
My little guy, Cade, is quite a talker. He loves to communicate and does
it
quite well. He talks to people constantly, whether we're in the library,
the grocery store or at a drive-thru window.
People often comment on how clearly he speaks for a
just-turned-3-year-old.
And you never have to ask him to turn up the volume. It's always fully
cranked. There've been several embarrassing times that I've wished the
meaning of his words would have been masked by a not-so-audible voice,
but
never have I wished this more than last week at Costco.
Halfway, through our shopping trip, nature called, so I took Cade with
me
into the restroom. If you'd been one of the ladies in the restroom that
evening, this is what you would have heard coming from the second to the
last stall:
"Mommy, are you gonna go potty? Oh! Why are you putting toiwet paper on
the
potty, Mommy? Oh! You gonna sit down on da toiwet paper now? Mommy, what
are you doing? Mommy, are you gonna go stinkies on the potty?"
At this point I started mentally counting how many women had been in the
bathroom when I walked in. Several stalls were full . 4? 5? Maybe we
could wait until they all left before I had to make my debut out of this
stall and reveal my identity.
Cade continued, "Mommy, you ARE going stinkies aren't you? Oh, dats a
good
girl, Mommy! Are you gonna get some candy for going stinkies on the
potty?
Let me see doze stinkies, Mommy! Oh ... Mommy! I'm trying to see in
dere.
Oh! I see dem. Dat is a very good girl, Mommy. You are gonna get some
candy!"
I heard a few faint chuckles coming from the stalls on either side of
me.
Where is a screaming newborn when you need her? Good grief. This was
really
getting embarrassing. I was definitely waiting a long time before
exiting.
Trying to divert him, I said, "Why don't you look in Mommy's purse and
see
if you can find some candy. We'll both have some!"
"No, I'm trying to see doze more stinkies. Oh! Mommy!" He started to gag
at
this point. "Uh oh, Mommy. I fink I'm gonna frow up. Mommy, doze
stinkies
are making me frow up!! Dat is so gross!!" As the gags became louder, so
did the chuckles outside my stall. I quickly flushed the toilet in hopes
of
changing the subject. I began to reason with myself: OK. There are four
other toilets. If I count four flushes, I can be reasonably assured that
those who overheard this embarrassing monologue will be long gone.
"Mommy! Would you get off the potty, now? I want you to be done going
stinkies! Get up! Get up!" He grunted as he tried to pull me off. Now I
could hear full-blown laughter. I bent down to count the feet outside my
door.
"Oh, are you wooking under dere, Mommy? You wooking under da door? What
were you wooking at, Mommy? You wooking at the wady's feet?" More
laughter.
I stood inside the locked door and tried to assess the situation.
"Mommy, it's time to wash our hands, now. We have to go out now, Mommy."
He
started pounding on the door. "Mommy, don't you want to wash your hands?
I
want to go out!!"
I saw that my "wait 'em out" plan was unraveling. As I sheepishly opened
the door, and found an open sink, I thought, Where's the fine print on
the
'motherhood contract' where I signed away every bit of my privacy?
But as my little boy gave me a big, cheeky grin while he rubbed bubbly
soap
between his chubby little hands, I thought, I'd sign it all away again,
just to be known as Mommy to this little fellow.

hahaha i could feel my face turning red thinking about all the times my
kids got me :)

When my girls were 6 & 8 we were in Walmart and they were listening on
the headphones to music samples. I was at the end of the aisle and my 6
year old yells "hey Ma, you know what? Elvis sings pretty good" at the
top of her lungs! (she knows I am a fan). I just replied "yes I know now
turn down the volume on the headphones" she yells back "did you talk to
me cuz I have the music realy loud and I can't hear you!" By this time
the entire music and entertainment section is laughing. A few people
said to me I should be thankful it was not rap music that she was
commenting on. Who knows what her review would have been then.
