Anytime my girls want to stop whining and go outside to play in the backyard unsupervised, I make absolutely no move to stop them. Quite the opposite, actually, I give them a nice swift kick as they run out the door.
So in the calm light of the evening, I usually find myself cleaning up the backyard. This time I found an orange bucket with some water in it and a roll of toilet paper beside it. I was understandably confused and my wheels started understandably spinning.
Kayla, my niece who spent a couple days with us this week, was the first on the scene when she noticed my staring. The facts began to spill from her mouth with hardly a breath in between:
"We wanted to make a toilet and Grace peed in it and so did Ruby and I had to really go pee, so I did it too".
You know what? It barely fazed me. I dumped it out and left it upside down to dry while I finished cleaning up the yard.
Such a seasoned mother I am.

I suspect Grace will be mortified when I tell Maceo this hilarious story! I am totally kidding since if it would have been Maceo, he would have made me pinky promise never to breathe a word...
HAHAHA!! What an awesome story, thanks for sharing!
Lol, you definitely learn to pick your battles as a mom.
Haaahahahaha. I can see my little Kayla spouting off with that. When questions... really questioned, the truth comes out! That is awesome! Thanks again for having Kayla, she had a blast!! She can't stop telling me about everything she did there:)
welcome...
When you have kids, your life is an open book. No secrets. No privacy. And no dignity. And it is all so worth it!
I just stalked your blog from your Facebook. This post made me laugh out loud. You are a seasoned mother indeed. :)
