Hurry or mama's gonna pee

Picking the girls up from the sitter's house today:

Me: Ok girls, let's go.

They stood in the car (yes, we did buy a mini-van, and no, I am not ready to give up calling my vehicle a car, despite its irrefutable vanness) staring at me.

Me: Come on girls. Hurry up, get in your seats or I am going to pee.

Briar: Are you going to pee in the car, mommy?

Me: No, honey, but I really have to go, so let's hurry.

A: Mommy peein'.

Me: No, not quite yet, but hopefully soon.

Briar: Mama, did you drink something that makes you pee?

Me: I guess I must have.

A: Mama peein'.

Briar: Here let me check.

I was buckling Avery in when I felt two very cold hands slip into the waistband of my pants.

Briar: I'm checking you mom. Yup, you stink, you have to pee.

Me: Briar! I do not stink. You stink when you have to poop. I have to pee.

Briar: Yes, you are, you are going to poop.

Avery: Mama poopin'. Mama stink.

And it was at that precise moment that the mailman walked by, unlike every other day in the history of seeing him as I pick up the girls he was NOT wearing his iPod. Swell, my kid thinks I stink and the mailman thinks I'm shitting myself.

How's your day going?

Funny! I also have to comment on "the van". I remember once saying I would never in a million years drive one...but 2 years ago gave in to a Honda Odyssey and I am quite in love with it I must say. The funny story is, I, too, couldn't say it...those words were just too much for me to hear! So, I just spelled it out to people," I drive a v-a-n" Or I would say, "Odyssey" and then run and by the time they figured out what THAT was, I'd be long gone! Do I want to drive it forever, NO, but right now, it's a great thing...lazy susan compartment and all! I bet your mailman has his IPOD on tomorrow ;)

Yeah well are you sure they weren't right? Sounded like words of experience to me! Ah pregnancy with children. Thank God for the blog where you can show them one day - oh yes you did say that! *giggle*

Hee hee :)
I'm sure the mailman has heard that pregnant women have to pee ALL THE TIME (!) and thought nothing of it. Besides, think how boring his job would be without the entertainment of folks like you!

Wow. Good thing you don't wear Depends or your kids will tell the mailman it's time for your diaper change.

Sometimes it's a crying shame we can't sell them for science experiments. Of course, blog fodder would dry up exponentially. It's a fine line to walk....
