What is the Procedure For....?
A few years ago I was on my way back from a work retreat in Vail. I got a phone call from Brady asking me, "what is the procedure for poop in the tub?". I had him turn to page 32 of the manual (just kidding). I was remembering this story on Sunday night when I was trying to get a few thing accomplished before Monday came so soon. Penn loves baths so I had him playing in the tub while I was folding laundry at my bed. I could see his little head from where I was and I was pretty excited to get the laundry folded and put away while keeping him entertained. Well, I walked by the tub on my way to hang up some clothes in the closet and you can guess the rest. Ugh. While I was cleaning up the tub and gagging I was thinking "isn't there someone else who can do this?" Being a Mom means sucking it up and doing the really gross jobs. Kind of like the janitor in elementary school who had to clean up the vomit. Although the janitors probably do have "procedures" and manuals...

Thats pretty funny! Funny for me because you had to clean it up. I dont remember poop in the tub, but maybe I just didnt know about it. I am also glad that you finally updated your blog. You should do it more often! seriously I check all the sisters blogs like 4 times a week!!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember I called to ask you how to clean the poop out of the tub too? You really should consider writing a manual-- it might even be 32 pages long.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad i'm not a mom! LOL but Penn is too cute, I guess i would clean up poop in the tub for him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Thomas...but that is too funny. Aren't you sad we have to laugh about poop in the tub when what we really want to do is cry?
