And Could You Get Me a Magazine?

Duty dictates that I stand at the ready.  On alert.  Prepared.  I wait for the “all clear” or “I’m done” before performing my assigned tasks.

A double check from me, a confirmation that indeed the deed is done and I’m allowed to swoop in and complete the necessary paperwork.

As I helped Zella to the potty the other evening she began.  Then, through clenched teeth, furrowed brow and intermittent periods of breath holding and straining she looked up at me and waved me on.

Shooing me from the bathroom she said…

“I’m gonna need some alone time.”

I'm Gonna Need Some Alone Time

    and maybe a magazine too, no doubt! I love the reference to paperwork…hee hee.

    I am easily amused.

    You need to save this post so one day her future husband will know where it all started.

    My son likes to read toy magazines while he waits for the action. We keep a pile of them stashed in the bathroom cabinet as a bribe to keep him hanging in there until he meets with success.

    Alone time? No way, kid! You’re gonna push that monster out on my watch, just so I can do the happy dance with you . . .

    Ha! I so remember those days . . .

    Good luck!

    Har! And so another one discovers the home “library”. I do hope you have more than one bathroom…

    I’m worried about this picture and the ones your posted before about potty training being online for anyone to see. It isn’t safe for your family.

    I see the picture has come down. It’s a shame we live in a world full of sickos.

    From the previous comments, I’m assuming she was reading. My son recently asked the school nurse to get him a book when he was mid-poop.
