Hobson's Choice
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the loo
Non-parents out there: so you listen to us complain all the time that we never get to go to the bathroom by ourselves. Big deal, you think.
And I thought so, too, even up through year two of parenthood. So there's a tiny little kid in the bathroom while you're going. What are they going to do?
This is what can happen.
You're sitting there, peeing, when up ambles your two year old. She's holding a giant post-partum maxipad that she unearthed somewhere in the bathroom, and she helpfully announces, "Mommy, I stick it up your bottom."
That's the moment when you think you'd like to have a private bathroom moment from time to time. And also when you remind yourself to really start working on prepositions with the kid.
