Yep we are off to the Seattle Zoo in our new Family Mobile that actually holds three car seats and one teenager.
PRAY for us in you are so inclined, thank God for DVD players and four little wireless headphones.
Now if they only had wireless port-a-potties.

Remember me mentioning that I am bound to learn everything about child rearing the hard way? Well, when a four year says they have to go potty, even if they just went ten minutes ago, let them go potty. For pete's sake LET THEM GO POTTY. In my all-knowing-mother-knows-best-voice I explained to this child that there was no way that it was necessary to go again and we weren't going to waste the time doing so. We had important things to do. I mean really!
That'll teach me.
When I went to get the little creature out of the back seat, wondering why the shoes I was holding in my hands were soaking wet, here is the explanation I was offered:
"I TOLD you had to go potty, soooooooooooo I peed on the floor. Next time please let me use the potty."
Umphf.
Next time indeed, leason learned.
Shame on mommy. Shame.
Today the new Family Mobile(gas-guzzling-beast-with-air-condictioned seats-mini-tank Ford Expedition) is getting the carpets steam cleaned.
I haven't forgotten the airport story...it's coming, I promise.
when you got to go, you got to go...poor baby...
ReplyDeletehave a great time at the zoo...
We ALL learn about child rearing the hard way! Sounds like you're doing great.
ReplyDeleteLOL! That's one smart child. You have a hand full.
ReplyDeleteWas it a boy or girl???? I remember when we drove to Sedona one time and my son had to go all the time... Thank God I bought him a gatorade in one of those plastic bottles... lets just say we were in a hurry to get there, my husband had some meeting that we were late for because or nanny was late and we had to use an alternative porta-potty type container... ie: gatorade bottle... thank God it was our boy with peeing issues... if you know what I mean... brings back funny memories...
ReplyDeleteLove ya,

ps; waiting for the plane story....
I can understand. When I have to go...everyone better get out of the way! LOL Are you going to the zoo this weekend (Point Defiance?) or are you getting ready to go soon....the NMSS is having a family day on August 5th where the whole family can go for free! Whenever you go, I am sure you will have a great time. Make sure to stay cool and don't over do things. :)
