It’s hard to admit this, but I don’t take criticism or correction well. I tend to get a wee bitdefensive when someone brings my faults to light.

| Mom brain = A lemon on my bathroom counter? WTF?
8 year old Boy brain = I have this lemon in my hand. I don’t want it anymore. I’ll just put it here.

| Mom brain = Why is my exfoliating brush in Nate’s room? 8 year old Boy brain = Cool brush! I want to carry it everywhere. I‘ll just put it here.

| Mom brain = Befuddled 10 year old Boy brain = I don’t see the problem?

| This was such a hot mess I couldn’t find a place to add text to the picture. I think even my 10 year old would agree he missed the mark when told to “put the laundry away.”

| I think Nate has watched the movie “Signs” a few too many times. Mom brain = Confused 8 year old Boy brain = I might get REALLY thirsty. Alien brain = Oh no, not water! (See the movie & you’ll get that^^^ joke.)

| Mom brain = Why is my exfoliating brush on the stairs? 8 year old Boy brain = Cool brush. Let’s take it downstairs. I’ll just put it here.

| Mom brain = He can’t remember to put his shoes away or clear his plate…? 8 year old Boy brain = I love post-its!

So Dick, after a week of careful observations, I’ve come to the following conclusion: While you might like to leave the seat up, it’s my ass that’s falling in the bowl at 2 a.m. So I’m going to continue whining until the seat is down, my exfoliating brush is left where it belongs, the milk lid is actually on the milk, I can find a water glass in the cupboard and there are no freaking lemons on my bathroom counter! You’ll be happy to know I’ve given up on the toilet paper, though. Enjoy your victory.
Logic is in the eye of the beholder.
That’s just my normal.
This is awesome!!!
OMG I FREAKING LOVE THIS!!!!
Love this! Of course, I’m an idiot and ask questions like, “But why were you carrying a lemon around in the first place?” and get answer like, “Because of Beyblades.” Not sure why I bother asking anymore. You’d think I’d have learned my lesson, but no.
There is just so much to love here. Lemons in the bathroom. Exfoliating brushes on the stairs. And one giant dick. Continue whining! You earned it.
I love the way your son’s brain works! Hysterical!

Bwahaha. So freaking funny!
In our household my husband ALWAYS puts the toilet seat down and closes the lid. No idea where he got that from but I got lucky in that department. No falling into the bowl for me! His farting, on the other hand, is enough to kill a fly at times.
I know you said your son’s name is Nate but I am pretty sure it is Jake – because yes to all this. Oh and in my house there is never a problem with falling in the toilet at 2 am because they just pee all over the damn seat. See problem solved, kinda.
it’s my ass that’s falling in the bowl at 2 a.m.
Do you look both ways before you cross the street? Do you make sure that the toilet seat lid is not down before you sit?
If the answer is no than I understand why you are worried but if the answer is yes than it shouldn’t be a big deal to deal with the seat.
I grew up with four sisters and had tons of fun fighting with them about this. Sometimes I would splash water from the sink on the seat and then wait for the scream.
It was fun. 🙂
Jack,
Water on the seat is hysterical!! I do look both ways when crossing the street but I it’s usyally not 2 a.m when I am typically not bleary-eyed. I will say, though, that I have gotten a bit more diligent after a few nighttime baths;)
Thanks for reading and commenting!
And the next time I share a co ed bathroom I am sooo doing the sink water trick!
