The older kids were playing outside. Pete was toddling around inside. Bill was surfing the net. The dog was napping.
Ah, peaceful Sunday.
I asked Bill to keep an ear out for Pete while I retreived laundry from upstairs and rotated the loads. Pete will occasionally fall down and need assistance getting up, and I wanted to be sure that I was off the hook for about 10 minutes. And off I go.
The next thing I know, there is complete pandemonium. Katie is crying. Jenny is crying. Petey is crying. Bill is hustling around and shouting out orders and looking at me like I’m not pulling my weight in this CRISIS, FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!
Oh, and just then, his parents arrive as expected. Because it wouldn’t be a good comedy if there wasn’t an audience.
Apparently Jenny, who was naked, as usual (we are trying to potty train here), had climbed up the ladder to the swing set which leads to the monkey bars and holds up the swings. She perched herself right there on the top rung and was surveying her kingdom from on high. Katie was swinging on the swing directly beneath her.
And I guess Jenny decided that right now was a good time and place to have a bowel movement.
Yup.
She missed Katie.
I lost my balance from laughing so hard.
If you visit, be sure to watch where you step!

that is the stuff of toddler urban legends! At the very least, a good piece family history, to be recounted for years to come…funny, “crisis'” always seem to happen when I leave the kids with hubby as well. Not because he’s uncapable–it just seems to happen that way.
I’ll remember this one during those times of reigning chaos around here…thanks for a wonderful laugh!!!
Too funny!!! That made me laugh so hard I almost…well, you get the idea. Post-childbirth bladder contol isn’t quite what it used to be.Also, just wanted to let you know that you all still in my prayers. How did it go today? I have been thinking about you off and on all day.
And I thought my boys were bad:)
Oh Michelle!!!!!!!!!!! OK, now that I can breathe again after the hiccup-inducing, snorting gales of laughter, I just have to say…HOLY COW! What am I in for?!? 🙂
Your life is not boring, that’s for sure. Thanks for the best laugh I’ve had all week. I’m STILL laughing!
