Me - Happily in the shower
Knock, Knock, knock
Me - "What?!?!"
Someone - mumble mumble mumble
ME - "WHAT?!?!"
Someone - MOM! mumble mumble mumble
Me - &%^$#!! [shuts off shower forcefully]" WHAAAAT?!?!"
One of the children - Can I come in?"
Me - :sigh: "NO! What do you NEEED???!!!"
Kid - "Can I wear your flip flops?"
Me - O_o grumble grumble grumble (which translates to "YOU interrupted my shower to ask about flip flops? of which you have 3 pair and I only have one yet you need to wear mine?")
Kid - "WHAAAAT?!?!"
Me - "YES! YES! YES! WEAR THE SHOES! I DON'T CARE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST INTERRUPTED MY SHOWER OVER A PAIR OF SHOES. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE FOR FIVE MINUTES!!!"
Kid - silence. . . they left after the first YES and never heard the rest of my gripe.
And this happens every single day. It may not always be about shoes but there is never a shower in which I am not interrupted.
Right?
ReplyDeleteThree bathrooms in my house... me and 3 kids. I'm thinking the likelihood that I'll be interrupted when I'm showering or doing "other" bathroom things is very slim, right?
No.
As you know, a shut door means "come in", a locked door means "bang and yell to let you in".
I feel you girlfriend.
My mother shared this quote with me - "Kids are in control of our lives. Anyone who can come into the bathroom to talk to you while you're on the toilet is definitely in control!"
ReplyDeleteActually as a father, this happens to me a lot as well. Whether showering, going to the bathroom, on the phone with a client, making dinner, comma comma comma...
ReplyDeleteGlad to know children are equal opportunity abusers.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Don't worry. You can upset the kids when they're old enough to bring their dates home. Those naked baby pictures.
