SOME LESSONS CAN ONLY BE TAUGHT...

... by a kind, loving, patient, inspired by the spirit, Mother.  And other lessons have to be taught by me.  Today's lesson... controlling your bladder.  It goes a little something like this-

me:  "Dale, I'm going to go take a bath."

About 5 min. later, or as soon as the tub fills...

elle:  "Hey mom."

me:  "What are you doing?"

elle:  "I'm just going to the bathroom."

me:  "No your not."  (my bathroom is the size of a shoe box- and she is NOT going to pee 2 inches from my head.)

elle:  "But I gotta pee really bad."

me:  "Well your going to have to wait."

elle:  "I can't.  I'll die."

me:  "That would be unfortunate.  Death by exploding bladder.  Go away."

elle:  "How long are you going to be?"

me:  "I don't know."

elle:  "Well- are your legs hairy?  I know they are.  Are you going to shave?"

me:  "Yep."

elle:  "Great!  I AM going to die!  Your going to be in here FOREVER!"

That's a funny story. I'll have to ask her if she died recently when we see you guys next. :)

I so do remember that TINY bathroom! Morning sickness was not fun in that house. I know I already asked, but do you still have the same downstairs neighbors?

hehehe...I always ask my kids "who do you want to have all of your stuff when you die???" I need to know...someone has to run the affairs of the deceased!
