More Potty Humor: Complete and Utter Honesty
Yesterday morning at 11:30 a.m. I was cooking a batch of delicious whole wheat noodles to be topped with shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Sarah came screeching around the dining room corner into the kitchen.
Sarah: Mom! Noah was going to the bathroom on the diaper pail.
Me: Huh?
Sarah: He did a tinkle right on the diaper pail!
Me: Send him down here right away.
Mr. Sneaky Pants calmly walks through the dining room into the kitchen.
Me: Did you go tinkle on the diaper pail.
Mr. SP: Well, kind of.
Me: (in my best stern grumpy mother voice) What do you mean, kind of? Did you go tinkle on the diaper pail?
Mr. SP: Well, this is the problem, Mom. . .
Me: What is the problem?
Mr. SP: Well, I was going to the bathroom and Sarah came in the door. And I didn’t want her in the bathroom when I was going potty, so I was going to squirt her with tinkle juice, but the diaper pail just got in the way when I turned around.
Me: NO! You can’t squirt tinkle juice at (and then, unfortunately I got the giggles) people.
Squirting other people with tinkle juice is really not very funny, but calling it tinkle juice, and that adorable little face just sent me over the edge. Bless his heart, he WAS trying to be honest, and he really didn’t see any reason WHY it would be a bad thing to squirt his sister. He had, after all no intentions of making a mess on the diaper pail. A boy needs his privacy.
He did have to do some scrubbing on the bathroom floor. And the diaper pail. And we had a little lesson about germs.
