Bathroom Humor
A few weeks ago at bathime:
Carolyn: Daddy, I want to take a short bath tonight.
Daddy: That's fine. Do you want to get out right after you get clean?
Carolyn: No, I want to stay in the bathtub.
Daddy: Carolyn, what does it mean to take a short bath?
Carolyn: I don't want to stand up to get clean.
LATER...
Carolyn: Can I stay in the tub 5 minutes?
Daddy: Yes.
Carolyn: Can I stay in the tub a long 5 minutes?
Daddy: Yes.
Carolyn: Can I stay in the tub lots of 5 minutes?
Daddy: I'll let you stay in for 5 minutes.
Carolyn: OK.
Having Carolyn potty trained has added a whole new dimension to the comic relief around here. Check out these two experiences!
About two weeks ago:
Carolyn said to me over the babies running bathtub water, "Turn of the water so I can hear my pee-pee!" So I turned it off (even though I wasn't done). I told her to go ahead and peepee. She told me grumpily, "You missed it because the water was too loud!"
Today during the "morning routine" we're trying to establish:
Seth was going up and down the hallway singing as loudly as he could "We wish you a Merry Christmas". The babies following him back and forth, all with tamborine, triangle, and maracas. Carolyn keeps yelling from some other room to stop making noise and be quiet. I'm braiding my hair in my bathroom, thinking, party pooper! He keeps singing and she lets out a threat: "If you don't be quiet my doo doo won't come out!" Having no concern for her bowels, he continues to sing and they all keep playing their instruments. A few seconds later she says, "That's it!! My doo doo won't come out!" (I wanted to burst out laughing, but I hushed myself in case the comedy hour wasn't over. Oh, by the way, her bowels had no problems and the 'sing-a-long' as Seth called it moved to the newly tuned piano...singing "Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked. When you wish upon a star." )
And this one has nothing to do with the bathroom, but when we were talking about something we were going to do, the kids got excited and one of them said, "I'm exciting!"
