“MOMMY….. I need to go potty!”
“MOMMY….. I need to go potty, too!”
One boy can take care of the situation all by himself. The other one cannot. Since Daddy has already holed himself down in the man cave for the evening, Mommy has no choice but to extract herself from her cozy abode and help the small child go potty.
She assists in the removal of his clothes, and after the worlds’ tiniest tinkle, reapplies the overnight diaper and jammies before sending both boys agreeably back to their beds with extra kisses. She once again settles back into her bed; her program may commence.
Approximately 4 minutes later she hears a muffled call once again coming from afar. She must pause the TV and strain her ears over the ridiculous sound of the audio drum test coming from the man cave in order to hear a tiny voice calling “MOMMY….. I DIDN’T FLUSH.”
She knew this was going to happen. As soon as she sent the toddler back to his bed, she realized her error in not reminding him to flush. But he went back to his bed so sweetly, and who really needs to flush the worlds’ tiniest tinkle? We can conserve water. But he remembered, and once remembered the task MUST be completed. It’s in the potty training best practices.
So Mommy must once again leave her cocoon in order to help the tiny child solve his problem. With one more kiss and a warning of no more stalling she sends him back to his bed.
There have been no more interruptions during the writing of this post. Does she dare to push play?
