Our old bathroom adventure...

I must warn those of you who may not enjoy the word "weenie" because it is used multiple times in this adventure. I used to tell this to people thinking that it was a funny story but their facial expressions and lack of laughter told me that it was not. So, with that said, if you do not wish to continue, please don't. It was back in the day when Raegan was potty training but still wearing a pull-up in public for accident purposes only. So I had taken all three kids to Target which was a joke in and of itself but I thought "you do what you gotta' do!" Anyway, as we are walking around browsing the aisles, Raegan starts saying, "I hafta go potty!" I quietly try to convince her that she can just go pee in her pull-up and she just won't oblige.

Okay Rae, turn around, maybe yours is in the back! MOM!!! It's REALLY not here!" Me: "Blake, let's just sit her down on the seat and see what happens..." **(she pees)** Blake: "Hmmm...that's weird! Yours just got stuck inside." *So, by the time we get all cleaned up and exit the bathroom, of course the line for the pharmacy is about ten people long and they're ALL laughing.
