Just Call Me Mortified-Very Mortified

The boys and I were both very excited to spend the day in Boston with Suzanne today! Before heading into the city, we stopped by a coffee house to catch up with my poor triathlon training buddy who has the shingles and Sally HP. Since we were going to be spending about 40 minutes in the car, the boys and I visited the bathroom before we left. I'll confess that I was the one who really needed to go.

I made myself comfortable on the toilet and began to let my non-fat latte flow out of me. Just as I was midstream, my younger son (YS) turned off the bathroom lights. Picture Candyman, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street all coming to life. At least that's what it sounded like in the bathroom as two terrified boys let loose blood curdling screams and began pounding on the door. I stood up and flipped back on the light switch...and sprinkled floor!

Yes, me! 3 year olds peeing on the floor is unpleasant but not unexpected. 33 year olds peeing on the floor is just down right disturbing. After cleaning up my mess, while explaning to YS that yes it indeed does become dark when you turn out the light, I held my head high and walked out of the bathroom. Sure the other patrons thought I was a crazy lady from all the screaming and pounding on the door. However, they didn't know that I was a crazy lady who peed on the floor. Hah! Double hah! Besides, at least I missed my pants because as much as I love Suzanne there's just no way I was going to spend the day in Boston wearing jeans that I had peed on.
