Got to go, got to go, got to go… NOW!

Has this ever happened to you?  You are out having lunch when your kid mentions that he/she needs to go to the restroom.  You acknowledge the child, turn to tell something to the waiter/waitress, turn back to get your kid only to find that he/she has taken off his/her pants and underwear and is ready to go… in the middle of the restaurant!

Well, that’s what happened to me yesterday when the boys and I went out to lunch with my in-laws.  I just shrieked, jumped up, immediately put Aidan’s clothes back on, and rushed him to the restroom.  Of course, I did find the whole incident amusing.  Only the innocence of a child could allow him to get away with such behavior without being accused of indecent exposure.

When I told William what happened, he just laughed and asked me why I didn’t take pictures.  Ummm… BECAUSE I was too busy and concerned with trying to get your boy back into his underwear and clothes before any of the other restaurant goers noticed!  (Thank goodness we were seated at the back of the restaurant, so I don’t think many people noticed.)  The last thing I was thinking about was documenting this momentous occasion with pictures.  But the next time your boy decides to flash his wee-wee to the world, I’ll be sure to have my camera ready so that you can enjoy this moment for years to come.

Hopefully, there won’t be a next time or a repeat of this incident.
