Today was Stake Conference at church. In the middle of Elder Pace’s talk, Emie desperately needed to go potty.
I took her.
I chatted with the other moms waiting in the bathroom.
I did not supervise, I talked.
Sometimes sacrifices have to be made for sanity.
She did not pull her panties down far enough and peed all over them.
I washed them out in the sink. Then I took them, and Emie, to the kitchen and micro waved them until dry. (The panties, not Emie, she was already dry.)
I returned to our seats.
Jeff asked, “What took you so long, and what smells like pop corn?”
“Long story and your daughter’s butt, now listen to Stake Conference.”

This one definitely needs to go in the Mommy Hall of Fame.

LMAO! You totally derserve Mother of the Month award! I honestly never would have thought to put panties in the microwave to help dry them off.

FREAKIN’ HILARIOUS!!! LMAO! I’ve heard of drying clothes under the hand dryer in the bathroom, but I never would have thought of the microwave. That’s what I call resourceful. You get an A+!

OH MY GOSH. i am busting a gut! even better that you need to share this story with ms. jae. what is it about little girls and peeing at church?! it’s a good thing you didn’t supervise because ms. jae did—and not only did her little girl pee all over her panties…she peed all over ms. jae!!
alas, she’s not as resourceful as you though…she snagged a pair of pullups from an unpottytrained rugrat.
i’ll NEVER think of popcorn the same again!
