I recently did harm to my internal organs by eating my weight in jalapeno nachos at a baseball game.
The next morning, well, let’s just say I was lucky to make it out of the bathroom alive.
In our family, we tend to overshare and describe our bathroom events and this trip to the bathroom was no exception. After I gave my gruesome recount, Tate scowled at me and pointed to our son. “You know, you really should watch what you say in front of him.”
Later that afternoon on a family outing, I took Carson into a public bathroom stall with me. I carefully squatted over the bowl. Carson looked at me with great concern.
“MOMMY?” he yelled. “IS FIRE STILL COMING OUT OF YOUR BUTT?”
You know, I really should watch what I say in front of him.

I’m glad to hear that we aren’t the only family who feels the need to share every detail of our bathroom adventures.
And that last photo is too precious!!

Love those pictures… and since we’re oversharing in the potty department…
The other day Quinn was taking an unusually long time in the bathroom, so I went in to see if he was finished yet. His response? “Nope. Not yet. I’m getting almost as big as daddy and it takes daddy forever to make his poops, so it’s going to take me forever too.” And then he sat there for literally five more minutes.
I’ve been wanting to do a post about this, but I’m not sure my husband would appreciate it. =)

One of my favorite quotes:
“Children seldom misquote you. They usually repeat word-for-word what you should not have said.”
I’m been busted by my kids many, many times before too. They are like parrots. This was too funny.

Oh my gosh, this happens to me all the time. Mine is 8 and I still haven’t figured out how to stop talking in front of him. However, I have found that threatening him within an inch of his life to not repeat it is highly effective. He asked me, once, if I still had diarrhea. In front of my clients when I took him to work with me one day. And my boss was standing right there as well.

The Alabama stories were great; I’m sorry you had such a rough start there but it sure made for some funny posts! I learned from the etiquette tips, too; stuff I didn’t know I needed to know! I look forward to return visits.
