Bathroom Embarrassment

So the other day when I took Kyler to school I had a real good laugh! So I though I would share. Kyler had to go to the bathroom before we ever got to school (so bad that we couldn't hold his feet still in the car!!!), so as soon as we got in, I put his lunch in the fridge and headed to the bathroom. Another mother had come in right behind us with her daughter and headed for the bathroom as well. Before I go on I should explain that there are two toilets in one big room. the toilets are REALLY small for the kids and there are no dividers or doors between the toilets. So I took Kyler to the open one and pulled down his pants because of course he can't do anything, he is checking the girl out on the other toilet! So I ask him if he wants to sit or stand and he just started peeing, so I hurried and turned him to the toilet so I didn't have too much to clean up. However this opened the view for the girl on the throne next to us. She turned to her mom and said, "Look mom, Kyler is peeing from his tail!" Her mom was so embarrassed she tried to change the subject and ask her if she was done. But as we all know how kids are she was persistent, and said agian. "No look mom Kyler is peeing from his tail!" By now her mom's face coudn't get any redder and she says, "Come on lets go wash your hands!" And still, " Mom did you see....." but she was intereuped by her mother with a very fast, " okay we are all done, lets go."
I thought this was so funny and I laughed all day partly because it was just funny to hear, but also because I know exactly how that mom felt. It reminded me of Bryn when she was little. And even Kyler himself is getting to that age, when you just hold your breath and hope you can get out of an embarrassing situation (with as little heard by anyone else) brought on by a comment your kids make about something they see. Oh what a blessing kids are and especially when they allow you to have a good laugh at something that given a little bit older would not be funny to them!
