Yeah, you know how it's always funny to hear SOMEONE ELSE'S Bad Mother Moments? Well, I've got one for you.
So we arrive at Target and L, in accordance with her personal goal of Peeing In Every Bathroom In the Southern Missouri Area, insists loudly that she "NEEDA PEEEE!" the moment we walk through the doors of the store.
Our (Super!) Target has bathrooms right at the front, (obviously designed by a Mother), so we trot right in. Of course the "Family" bathroom is taken, so we are forced to use one of the regular stalls in the regular restroom. You know, the "regular" stalls, the ones where you have to wedge yourself in between the toilet, the paper holder, and the wall just to get the door closed?
Yes. So I cram myself, G, and L into the stall. G is busying himself trying to look under the wall into the next stall (don't you HATE kids who DO that? Gah. Don't their mothers teach them ANYTHING?), and as I am trying not to bust through the door with my ass, I barely manage to hoist a wiggling L onto the potty seat, which is gigantic and frightening to her tiny two year old bottom.
I get her up there, start unrolling toilet paper for her, and in one quick moment of Huge Potty Fright, she lets go of the seat and reaches out to grab for me. Um, yeah, oops, do you see where this is going?
I totally let my two year old baby fall into a public toilet. I mean INTO...like, big-splash-of-water-legs-sticking-up-in-the-air-falling. And, um, yes, I may quite possibly have laughed at her hysterically before regaining my senses enough to pull her out.
Ahem. Now, back to my rehearsal sessions for the Mother Of The Year award.

Stacey,
You always have such exciting adventures when your family goes shopping. You will be the envy of all the mom's on the block. No really, this is a very funny post.
Here's to Stacey - Mother of the Year
The Funny is BACK!!!!!!!!! Yea!
Blogger still hates me and yes it's 10:30 and little B is still awake because I won't lay down w/ him URGH!
That made me laugh out loud. Glad to hear I am not the only person who has a kid that has to pee in.every.single.public.bathroom.
LMAO! That is funny as hell!!!!!! I would've laughed so hard my daughter would probably still be in the potty!
Good thing that there Target toilet didn't have an automatic flusher on it or you just might have lost your two year old! Ahh, good ole public restrooms, gotta love them! I think I'll pack extra hand sanitizer in my bag in honor of this post.....
Thanks for the laugh. That was a good one!
OMG you painted the perfect picture of that one. That was hillarious!!
What do you suppose the other bathroom-ers thought about the uncontrollable laughter after the splash?
I actually laughed out loud at that one...
