“Hey mommy!  I’m smiling at you in a super

cute way and I signed please.”

“Can I have some Fritos?” (…still smiling…)

“What? I have to go potty first? I mean

toilet. I forgot we were being super fancy

pantsy with more grown up with words.”

“When this timer thingy goes off, I’m

staying put. You’ll see.”

“Timer thingy just went dingy. Uhhh. I

wonder if mommy remembers.”

“Uh oh! Now my talking thingy is saying

Toilet, Toilet. Mommy heard that. I’m not

seeing a way out of this.”

“At least I get my iPad. Hey mommy.

How about some me time? Back away from

the toilet.”

“Okay. A little bit further.”

“That’s better.”

“Okay. So what if I went through a few

hundred underpants today. Girls aren’t the

only ones who get to change over and over again.”
