Stranded

Seriously, this is one of the funniest things I have ever heard about anyone. Before anyone gets too mad saying that I'm mean to share this about my mom, let me just say that I did ask permission to share, and she agreed that it was too funny not to post. Also, just a warning, this post does kinda slip into the territory of TMI, so if you're grossed out by that sort of thing, just skip this one and come back another day.

This past week Jody and my step-dad Dan are on their annual hunting trip in Indiana. During this trip, my mom always comes up to stay with me and the girls because let's face it, it's boring being home alone for a whole week.

And of course, because Lovie was here, there was no way in hell I was going to be able to convince Taylor to go to daycare. So she stayed home with Lovie, which is also great because then she gets one on one in regards to her potty training. Taylor was hitting almost 100% with her pee (still batting zero for the poo) while at home with Lovie. The only drawback is that now, she's gotten so comfortable on the potty that she wants to just sit there and hang out for a while after she goes. Any attempt to move her along results in a hairball fit.

So, Friday afternoon Taylor had set up camp on the potty and wouldn't budge when Mom had the sudden urge that she had to go too, only hers was emergency-style. After failing to convince Taylor to get off the potty so she could have her turn (as I understand it the argument ended with, "NO LOVIE!!! MY POTTY!!!!!), Mom retreated to the other bathroom and just left Ms. Thang to fend for herself. After barely making it to the other bathroom in time, Mom looks over to realize the toilet paper roll was empty. Now, don't criticize me, there was more paper in the bathroom, Mom just didn't know where it was stashed. It was at this time Taylor comes streaking through the house to see what Lovie was doing (She has to be butt-naked to use the potty. Don't ask me where that came from.). Given her situation, Mom decided to give it a shot and said, "Taylor, help! Get Lovie some toilet paper!" So, Taylor takes off running back to the other bathroom and returns proudly with one square of tp. Then she runs over to Mom and starts trying to push her forward off the pot saying, "Wipe! Wipe!" Yes, Taylor was trying to wipe her Lovie's butt, with one square of toilet paper. Then she was also adding insult to injury with, "Shoo, Lovie! Nasty!"

Fortunately, Mom made it through the debacle, and lived to laugh about it. And honestly I have to admit that I absolutely cracked up too. And yes, fear not, I showed her where we stash the paper so that she won't get stranded again.

She loves them, so don't feel too bad for her ;)
