It has been a super busy and crazy fun week around here. As a result, the house is a mess and there is laundry, in various stages of folding and sorting, piled all over the place. This morning I had some time to tackle the piles in an attempt to bring order once again.
I brought C upstairs with me so he could play either in his room or in my room. He chose a different room. I was deeply engrossed in my task when I realized that I could hear water splashing. I ran to the bathroom and found C bent over the toilet with his arms in all the way. He was laughing and obviously having a great time. It wasn't just toilet water he was playing in, though. Yes, you guessed it. One of his brothers forgot to flush. He was playing in pee! I didn't stop to take a picture. I grabbed the happy boy out of the toilet, stripped him and plopped him right down into the tub where he had a nice long soak.
After the "horror" of the moment I just had to laugh. Now, I'm laughing again and drinking a glass of wine. C was not worried about the fact that he was playing in urine. He just knew he was having fun. Maybe there is a lesson in there somewhere for me. I should quit worrying about stuff and just have more fun. Easy enough, right?

I'm probably going to lose sleep over this one. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though - do you have the "Grossology" book? It explains all about how human urine is high in ammonia, and used to be used as a cleaning agent, and in some societies still is, etc. If you can have "fun" with this memory, and if I can rationalize that it's not totally bad, then maybe we'll both be okay. :)
i love how this manages to be somewhat disgusting, hilarious, and weirdly beautiful all at once. glad C got cleaned up and that you can laugh about it all -- but i don't blame you for needing a glass of wine after that!
