Nothing strikes fear into my heart as the sight of my nakey daughter. She's not grotesque or anything, looks like a normal little girl. No, what makes me tremble with trepidation is the story behind her lack of suitable attire. Oh, our little darling is a fashionista in her own right and is seldom without clothing in any fashion. She picks her outfit out right down to the princess knickers. So, for her to show up without a stitch on her means lord WTF has struck again. It usually goes like this
"Rachel?"
"Yes?"
"Where are your clothes?"
"Um...I spilled something on my shirt."
"Okay, but why are you without your pants?"
"Oh, they're wet."
"With what?"
"I pee-peed in them and came up to change."
"WHAT THE...*deep breath*...Rachel, where?"
"Oh (insert various location here). I'll clean it up tomorrow.
Now, forget about getting a why out of her. There is truly no point. Any parent of a child knows what this is about. This is the sheer will power of a child overriding their carefully crafted potty-training so they don't miss out on any fun. Simply put, they just forgot that when bladder is full, empty it in the appropriate vessel. I have a feeling my daughter will also be the type to say, "Screw it" when the check engine light comes on.
Sigh. I'm off to scrub carpet and hardwood floor because this diddy of a Worse Than Failure moment has happened twice in 24 hours. I'm going to be hitting the Dew hard tonight.

I can so relate to this story. My daughter is older now and it's not so much about the pee-pee moments as it is the any-excuse-to-create-more-laundry-for-my-already-overworked-stressed-out-mama moments that she has about three times a day on school days and upwards of 15 times on weekend days.
Funny blog, you have. :)
Ahhhh! My hope is shattered. This doesn't get better with age? It's moments like these that unite every mother on the planet. Glad you liked!
