Why Yes, I Am In The Bathroom....

     You know they know.  The INSTANT you go into the bathroom...they know....oh, they know.

The scene:  Our bedroom

The action: Walked into the bathroom.  Abbie, (our four year old), instantly materializes outside the door.

A- "Mommy??  Mommy??? Mommy??"
M- "Yes Abbie"
A- "Where are you?"
M- "I'm in the bathroom"
A- "It's time for a bath, I can't wait any longer"
M- "Yes, it is time for a bath. You can take it as soon as I'm out of the bathroom"
A- "Ok....I will wait right here"
M- "Ok"
A- "I am going to talk"
M- "Ok"
A- "By singing a song"
M-"Ok"
A- "About flowers"
M- "Ok"
A- "Flaaa la lum la squizalla, Flowers, Flowers, Fla lum alala flaaaa"
A-  "Mommy, I forgot my blanket"
M- "Ok"
A-"I'm going to go get it!"
M- "Ok"
A- "I'm back with my blanket"
M- "Good"
A- "Are you still in there?"
M-  "Yes"
A- ((Begins talking to self))  "Come on.  Be cool, be cool!  Come on Emma, you can do it!" (Verdict out on why she uses her sister's name in these situations.  Will update as information becomes available)
A- "Are you done yet"
M- "No".

And the score is:
Peaceful or even private alone time in the bathroom 6
Children 5, 678


And this just in:
In the bath with her sister, (as promised, I might add!)

A- "Emma hit me"
M-  "Emma tell your sister your sorry"
E- "Sorry"
M-  "Honey, don't hit your sister"
A- "Cause she might turn into a beast just like the prince turned into a beast?"

Have a great day everyone.  May all your stories be funny!  (At the very least in retrospect!)
