What is it about kids & the bathroom?
I don’t know about you folks, but the minute I step into the bathroom, everyone & I mean everyone, will need something. I’ve got a habit of leaving the door slightly open after becoming a parent. Back then, it was to keep my ears alert for baby fussing. But now, the crack in the door seems to be translated as an open invitation or a welcome door mat. In any case, it just seems a bit strange when it seems like the kiddar (kid radar) goes off the minute I step into the bathroom. I could be sitting their doing my “business”, when I suddenly hear a knock on the door & then “Mom”. Then the domino affect, “Mom can have an apple? Mom can I use the bathroom? Mom, can I go on the computer? Mom did you wash the jeans? Mom you’ve got to see this? Mom when are we having dinner? Mom…..Mom….Mom….”
Why is it that 2 seconds ago, while I was sitting on the couch reading a book, watching t.v. or picking my nose, did you not think to ask the question then? Why the bathroom? Why wait till my booty is comfortably sitting on the toilet? Why wait till your mama is doing #2? Why wait till I’m in the shower? Don’t you know when you say something through the door with the shower running you sound like Charlie Brown’s parents? or maybe that’s the point ;P.
But that still hasn’t answered my question, what is it
about kids & the bathroom?
