Bathroom Lessons

The shower had came to a stop in my bathroom. I was standing in front of the mirror getting around on that fine Saturday morning. Abram hollered, "Hey...will someone grab me a towel?" Which was followed by dead silence. Not because I didn't hear him, but because I realized this was THE opportunity. You see everyone in the house complains that when Abram is done with his bathing routine he often complains that he cannot find a towel and hollers for someone to find him one. This is when I said, "Honey, you get one." I thought I heard a gasp. The shower room went silent for a few seconds and then the door came busting open and my naked miniature six year old came bolting out! Honestly, I wasn't sure it was him except for the glimpse of a pink blur.....hehehe The door was swiftly closed behind him, and his response was "Geez...I don't want to have to do THAT again!" After a few more of those humbling moments I believe our problem will be solved. (Keeping in mind we live in a house full of men, so no females lost their innocence, while promoting this lesson.)

Here is the final conversation that came from the bathroom.

Abram: "Mom, doesn't this bathroom remind you of our old bathroom?"

Mom: "Not really."

Abram: "They are almost identical!"

Mom: "How so?"

Abram: "You know, like the bathroom that was attached to your bedroom at our old house."

I was still thinking not really, but I continued on.

Mom: How does it look the same, Abram?"

Abram: "You know it has a white toilet and the walls look the same too."

I was thinking have we EVER had a colored toilet? LOL

Mom: "Yep....like twins....that's crazy!" (said with a silly saracasm.)

Abram: "Yep....that IS crazy!"

I shook my head and giggled.

That is sooo funny Trina! When my boys were 6 it wouldnt have fazed them to walk through the house totally naked. My 10 year old is just now getting shy enough to cover him self some. It wasnt until my other boys were about 9-10 that they started doing the same thing. I just think it is funny that you had the pink blurr run by. Mine would have opened the shower and had a conversation as walking through the house to get the towel before they covered themself with the towel but only to dry!LOL!!!!!!

I can't help but giggle at this story! I bet a towel will be first on his list of things to take when he takes a shower! Your conversation with him over the bathrooms remind me of the ones I have with David (heehee) I'll say something like how two things are about the same and after he questions me I realize they were not alike at all!
Love ya
Michelle

Kids can become so dependent sometimes. I think you chose a wonderful way to teach him some independence. Too funny!
