Really? Who Does That?

So before you read this......let me tell you ....if you are the 'judging type' -- DO NOT continue! Just keepin' it real!

Wednesday morning Elijah woke up for school. I went into his bathroom to start his little timer (you can ask me about it another time). Anyway, as I walked in I was almost knocked out by the smell of urine. Ummmmm I have a strong nose and can smell a lot of things that others can't -- not always a good thing! TRUST ME!

I asked Elijah why it smelled like urine and this is what he said. "Well sometimes I get in the shower and when the water hits my body I have to pee." So I was like....okay, cool...."Do you pee in the shower and then wash your body?" REMEMBER: I said DON'T judge me -- he is 100% boy, so I have to choose my battles! He said, "Oh no Mom, I just stay in the shower, open the shower curtain and pee into the corner between the shower and the sink." VERY NONchalantly! Just to be clear.....there is nothing but floor between there!

Have you ever been so shocked and mad at the same time that you just start whispering the rest of the conversation? Well, I was that morning! So I reminded him that is not what we do and that he needed to pee before he got in or hold it until he gets out.

Question for mothers of boys: Is this normal???
