I was torn about rather I should share this story or not.
However, a dear friend reminded me that I wanted this blog to be REAL. So here
is the real me and what really takes place at my house. As embarrassing as it may be!
To begin the story I must first set the stage. A couple of
weeks ago, my mom bought Morgan a book of pranks. It included sticker bugs and
other ways to prank people which she of course immediately started trying out
on all of us and of course we all played along!
The next night, I had one of those “Oh my gosh! I can’t
believe this just happened” moments! I am always reminding the kids to flush
the toilet. When you live in a house full of boys, you especially try to never
forget to flush when it’s “THAT time of the month”.
If your kids are anything like mine, they never need you or
have emergencies until you are in the bathroom. Needless to say, I had barely
gotten settled when the banging on the door began! I rushed like a great mom to
help solve the crisis of the moment.
I barely made it to the kitchen when I heard… “Hey! Someone
put something red in the toilet!” Followed by… “What?!?! Let me see!”
At this point I had a choice to make. Do I own up to it and
thus open the birds and bees box or do I do my best to cover it up with some
story? By now all three kids are in the
bathroom checking “it” out. Think! Quick! I did what any super awesome mom
would do in a situation like this! I ran down the hall yelling the first thing that came to my mind, “Ha! Ha! Ha! I
got all three of you! Was that an awesome prank or what?!?! That red food coloring came in handy! I’m even better
than the book!”
The moral of the story is: Always flush!!!! But in case you
forget… have a cover story planned!
