Why is it that little boys wait until the very, very last minute to go to the bathroom that they end up having to run at full speed to the toilet and often aren’t fast enough and pee on their shorts?
By the end of the day I often have a big pile of little shorts in the corner of the bathroom that were unfortunate recipients of “too much pee, too little time!”
I thought it was my imagination that I was doing so much laundry!
Funny how the word pee has become as commonplace as any other word in my vocabulary like sleep or sanity – although sanity is not so common around here anymore.

Thanks Rhonda, I know that one day I will miss these times! I’m not sure how or when, but everyone tells me I will!
Don’t worry they do finally grow out of it but I remember them days as well. My kids always waited until you got in the car to mention they needed to go to the bathroom so that we were always running late to one function or another but they out grew that to finally~!
Colleen,
Does he start to sort of bend over and pull his legs together so his rear end sticks out and then say “no” when you ask if he has to pee? Jake does that and my husband and I laugh because it’s like…yeah, right…GET IN THERE AND GO NOW!
My son will hold it so long he starts to get a cramp from it. It’s that one track mind thing. He’s so absorbed in what he’s doing that he doesn’t realize he has to pee until it gets that bad.
Karen,
You are right I think. They just don’t want to bother to stop what they are doing and go. I’ve done it as an adult even (waited, not missed), especially before Tivo!
They are just having so much fun that they don’t want to stop. That’s my feeling.
