Jenni’s challenge for the day is to issue a public apology. Serious. Funny. Sarcastic. Whatever.
I’m going to go with funny. Just so we are clear. I rarely write “humor” so here goes. 🙂
So… 1 wheelchair, 1 stroller and 3 boys are all crammed in a bathroom stall. A mom with one pristine little girl come into the bathroom and she really needs the potty but I’m using it and have been for the last 10 minutes or so. This is my public apology if you were ever that mom waiting with your princess (or prince) to use the big stall.
When I go in, I NEED all that room. My chair takes up SO much space and the stroller?! Don’t even get me started on moving around in there with a stroller.
I wish 10 minutes meant we were wrapping up our adventure, but noooo. My middle son just barely finished pooping and I still had to wipe his butt, after I finished wrangling the baby and wiping his.
My oldest son is the one you see dancing around. He really has to go too, but somehow, magically, kindly let his little brother go first.
Once he finishes up, I pass the baby to him and he complains because his hands are dirty. He did just pee, but he ONLY peed and after 3 kids you consider pee to be sanitary.
I get in position and wiggle and squirm until I’m finally able to get on the potty, while telling my middle son NOT to touch the baby. He, after all, did just poop and we all know where 4 year old fingers like to go.
Of course that was how things played out about a year ago. Now the baby is almost 2 and instead of his brother holding him, he’s flushing the potty repeatedly while everyone goes. If you were a looker, you are out of luck, Nathan squats down and looks for you and then it’s gone before you can turn and take a peek.
So, again, I apologize profusely if you are the person that was stuck waiting while 2 little boys peed and or pooped, 1 mom peed and a one baby’s diaper was changed.
