On Vacation

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO BLOG FROM MY CELL PHONE. JUST CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO BLOG IN LOWERCASE YET!

TODAY LACY IS FOUR YEARS OLD! SHE HAS SPENT MOST OF THE DAY FOLLOWING HER GRAMPY AROUND AND PLAYING IN THE DIRT.

MY PARENTS WENT FOR A QUICK DRIVE WHILE WE STAYED BEHIND AND WATCHED MY HUSBAND DO MANLY-MAN THINGS LIKE CHOPPING WOOD AND GETTING SUPPLIES READY FOR S'MORES :)

LACY QUICKLY ANNOUNCED THAT SHE NEEDED TO "GO POTTY" BUT WOULD ONLY GO WITH GRAMMY AND ONLY GO IN HER GRAMPY'S BATHROOM.

"LACY, GRAMMY AND GRAMPY JUST LEFT AND THEIR TRAILER IS LOCKED UP. LETS USE THE RESTROOM OVER HERE (WE DIDN'T GET A TRAILER WITH A TOILET)" I SUGGESTED.

"NO. I CAN ONLY USE GRAMPY'S"W

"THEY ARE GOING TO BE GONE FOR A WHILE, LACE"

"I'M NOT USING THAT OTHER ONE. JUST GRAMPY'S"

BEING THE SUPER-STAR (AKA SUCKER) MOM THAT I AM, I MANAGED TO GET OPEN A WINDOW AND PUSH HER THROUGH IT. FROM THERE I COULD VERBALLY COACH HER THROUGH OPENING THE LOCKED DOOR.

ONCE THROUGH, LACY IGNORED MY "SUGGESTION" AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TOILET. I BECAME NERVOUS WHEN LACY TOOK MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. SHE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE TO LINGER ON THE POT, SHE HAS MUCH BETTER THINGS TO DO, REALLY.

"LACY, ARE YOU GOING ONSIES OR TWOSIES?"

"TWOSIES" SHE FINALLY YELLED BACK TO ME.

'CRAP' I THOUGHT.

"DO YOU NEED ME TO WIPE YA?" I ASKED

"NOPE. DID IT MYSELF" SHE ANSWERED.

'DOUBLE CRAP' I THOUGHT.

"OKAY, WELL, LETS GET THE DOOR OPEN AND GET OUT OF THERE!"

WHAT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE AT THIS POINT IS THE FACT THAT SHE COULD NOT GET THE DOOR UNLOCKED. SHE ALSO REFUSED TO COME BACK THROUGH THE WINDOW BECAUSE SHE ALSO COULDN'T GET THE TOILET TO FLUSH AND REFUSED TO LEAVE "A TURD FOR GRAMPY TO FIND"

I TOLD HER THAT GRAMPY WOULD LOOOVE TO FIND A POOP IN THE TOILET WHEN HE GOT HOME, BUT LACY WAS RESOLVED. SHE WASN'T LEAVING TILL THAT POOP WAS GONE.

I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO PUSH AUNT LARCI THROUGH THE WINDOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

ONCE LARCI HAD MADE HER WAY INTO THE TRAILER, SHE FOUND THAT LACY HAD TRIED TO FLUSH THE TOILET... MANY TIMES, IN FACT. LARCI REPORTED BACK TO ME THAT THE TOILET WAS COMPLETELY FULL OF WATER AND ALMOST OVER THE TOP. LACY DIDN'T PUSH THE "FLUSH BUTTON" JUST THE "FILL BUTTON".

NOW, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE WHEN GRAMPY GOT BACK!
