"Stinks"

Today was one of those days that just makes me laugh out loud, and I'm sure my children would be mortified to know I'm about to blog about it. I tell you though, sometimes it's just too funny not to be shared.

So my little man, he's 6 now and that's a "big boy!" He's gotten to the point where he wants to use the mens' bathroom instead of the womens' which is fine most of the time. Today however, he decided he needed to do his business in the mens' room.... at the Walmart of all places.... Twenty minutes had passed and he still was not out, and there was a flood of traffic going in and out of that bathroom. Finally, my oldest came out of the bathroom, and I turned him right back around to check on his brother. He came out and said "He's fine Mom, he's still going." A few more minutes passed and I sent him back in with special instructions.

 I said' "Now you might have to help him" and the look on his face was priceless. The "Huh!?!? you want me to do WHAT!?!?" But being the good brother he is, he went back in to the bathroom. Another ten minutes passed and every time the door opened I looked up to see if my boys were coming out.... And every it was not them. I have now spent 30 minutes on the bench outside the mens' room. I'm pretty sure I looked like a crazy person!

Finally! my oldest emerged from the bathroom. He said "That was DISGUSTING!" I just laughed and replied "welcome to motherhood my son!" A short while later, my youngest came through the door visually upset.

He said "I was trying to hurry Mom." I just gave him a hug and suggested maybe next time we use the womens' room. He rapidly agreed. So I loaded him in the cart and set off to do my shopping. A few steps away from the bathroom my oldest looks at me and says "I would rather go shopping than do that ever again! and I hate shopping. That was horrible." I lost it. I mean laughing like I was at a comedy show in the middle of the aisle at Walmart. When I thought I was almost composed, my little man leans forward and says "You should have seen Bubba, Mom. He almost threw up!" We all laughed so hard... Except my oldest who was still having some PTSD from the whole thing.

I tell you, there is never a dull moment in life with these kiddos around! Happy laughs everyone! Welcome to a day in the life of the Roseberry's.
