Eau du Boy

Spencer knocked at my office door.

"Mommy. Jonathan just went poop in the children's bathroom and it really stinks in there. May I use your bathroom?"

"Sure, honey."

A short while later I went into my bathroom to put away some freshly folded sheets. In addition to the swath of toilet paper all over the floor (what is it about my children and swaths of toilet paper on the floor??), there was a distinct, post-poop aroma hanging in the air.

Which begs the question, how fair is that? He didn't want to smell the leftover fumes from his brother's offering, so he happily perfumed my bathroom instead.

I didn't think that one through. Next time, I'll hand him a clothespin.

SNORT!!! TOO FUNNY!! :-D
I've been saying this for years, your Spencer and my Corry are two of a kind!
Corry doesn't festoon the bathroom with tp though, he just forgets to flush.
You can always tell when someone's found one of his masterpieces - there's a startled shriek then a scrambling dash from the bathroom and several seconds of deep breathing outside the door as they muster up the courage to go back in and flush.
At least he usually remembers to wash his hands.
We're working on it, but he's nearly 7 now and the incidents still happen at least twice a week.
I fear for my future daughter-in-law. :-S

LOL Jill!! I'm always saying to myself, "Didn't I JUST put a new roll of paper on?"
I'm a huge fan of the wet wipe but my kiddos will use ONE wet wipe per swipe...not good for the budget!
