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.
About Kim
Myra, you are right! First, I can’t tell you how many times the underside of the lid was all gross and yellow when I went to clean it. Second, I don’t know if it doesn’t bother them that it is gross or if they play it off knowing we can only stand it for so long and will do it ourselves. BTW, I’m the one who cleans the bathrooms!
kim – you forgot to mention how when they do get there, they usually miss, and how the hubby doesn’t like to do bathrooms. (oops. is that just me?)
Debi! Oh yea, the rugs! You’d think I’d learn and just not put them back, but no.
Very funny!
As the mom of 6 boys, 5 potty trained and atleat 3 considered “little” in my books…
BOY! Do I know what you mean!
In our house, it’s not just the shorts that are constantly being washed, but the bathroom rugs too. UGH!
Courtney, we learned the hard way on that, we make him go right before we leave even if he just went 10 minutes before. Their bladders seem timed for the most inopportune occasions!
Jessica, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one, at least my boy is “normal” hehe
Same here! Or he decides he has to go just as we get in the car to go somewhere.
OH MAN. I completely agree. Connor is always like that.
Mine is 4 too and oh man, that smell! Sometimes I clean and clean and can’t find the source. I think maybe it absorbed into the porcelain!
It’s funny in our house if one of us is in the midst of dealing with him when something happens, it’s always “your son” did this or that. But when he does something good or cool, we say “my son.”
I hear you! I’m constantly having to wash down the pee smell from my bathroom due to the near-misses of my four years old son! My husband’s input: “YOU were the one who wanted two little boys…” (Yeah, like I had them by myself!)
