business meetings
Apparently my childrens think we are competing for a family synchronized pottying award. Without fail, as soon the parent on duty excuses him or herself for a quick “business meeting” a child will start screaming that they have to go pee! poop! right now! Despite begging the child to go to the other bathroom or to wait for even a second, the screaming continues. Without fail. It seems like a basic human right to be able to go to the bathroom without interruption. Sometimes I feel like I am being tortured by my own sweet babies. Maybe it is karma (I do NOT actually believe in karma) for all the times I said that I had to go to the bathroom and just sat on the toilet lid and checked Facebook or Twitter. Maybe it is my lot in life. Maybe we WILL get an award for all five members of our family synchronizing our bladders and colons. Maybe we should sell our van and add another bathroom on to the house. Maybe I should just wait it out and know that in about fifteen years I will be able to go to the bathroom whenever I want for as long as I want. Surely I can hold it for fifteen years. Surely.
