Most days, Dena and I show up at the kid’s Montessori school at the same time. We go into the play-zone, round up the kids and head upstairs to their classroom to get their stuff out of their cubbies. While she and I get the stuff and chit chat, the kids are usually chasing each other in the hallway and acting like they have extreme cases of ADD.
Yesterday, we were walking out of the classroom and I see Kaiden coming out of the men’s restroom in the hallway. I asked her what she was doing in their and she replied “playing with pee-pee.” To which I replied, “Kaiden that is disgusting, stop talking like that!” Just then, Ethan comes out of the bathroom and has something pink in his hand. Before we can even ask what it is, we both realize that it is a hot pink urinal cake.
Immediately it becomes crystal clear that Kaiden was not joking and we both start freaking out. We scream, “Oh my god drop it – DO NOT touch anything – Get back into that bathroom and wash your hands!!!” And we proceed into the men’s bathroom behind them to help them wash their hands, the whole time yelling how disgusting that is and telling them exactly what they were playing with and screaming god knows what else out of panic.
We finally get them cleaned up and get out of the men’s bathroom, back out into the hallway and take a second to breathe, just to break out into hysterical laughter. Not two minutes after being in the hallway, a man comes scurrying out of the bathroom, with a bright red face. He tries his hardest not to make eye contact with us, and then runs down the hall and into the stairwell.
Well that was it – WE LOST IT! I was laughing so hard my chest hurt and I had to lean up against the wall. The kids thought we had gone nuts. That poor man was in that bathroom on the shitter the whole time, while our kids were in there playing with the urinal cakes, while we chewed them out and while we escorted them back in to wash their hands. He was probably wondering how the hell he was going to get out of there.
Finally we calmed down, got out of the building and loaded the kids in the car. I made it two minutes down the road and was trying to have a serious conversation about how disgusting what she did really was, when she busts out with “Well, Ethan licked it.” Now I have to call Dena and let her know that her son licked the urinal cake – and the laughter starts all over again! We are hands down the best moms EVAH!
