adventures in a public bathroom..........

This evening we decided to surprise the kids and take them to Amazing Jake's for family night. First of all can I just say... It is not quite so amazing if you are beyond the age of 7. (I am clearly several years beyond the amazingness of jake's) My children however, were having a marvelous time, and riding/playing/climbing everything in sight. It was in the goofy golfing area that Brody announced (rather loudly) That he did infact need to do "a poo poo" I could tell by his body language that it was an urgent situation. I left the 2 boys with Mark, and with Ava on my hip Brody and I hustled to find the bathroom. When we reached the ladies room, Brody argued that he was a boy and needed to go to the men's bathroom, it then dawned on him that he might not have time for this discussion, and fearing he might have a bigger problem on his hands, he gave up his debate and accepted the toilet on offer. Brody is a dreamer, Brody is a mellow dude, Brody is chilled, Brody is never in a hurry, today was no different! He sat on that toilet for no less than 20 minutes as he happily chatted through the door (and to the audience) about the history of some of his famous poos, he made comments about the size, shape and smell of several bowel movements, he told of one that.. "looked like a skateboard" I was getting impatient and decided I might as well use the toilet while I waited on "Mr Share-it-all" it was at this moment that my lovely, darling Ava decided to unlock my door, open it wide, and run out of the bathroom, Stunned, red-faced and mortified, I scuffled out the bathroom after her, buttoning my jeans as I ran laps around this "oh so fun" place. Finally I retrieved my little hooligan, I headed back to check on Brody's progress. He was still in the pushing phase. "come on Brody PLEEEASE!! come on!!!" Why is everything such an adventure with kids?? I love my little rascals......
