I am going to start off by saying this posting may be a little gross to some of you, BUT I need to tell it… consider this your warning.
A little while ago I was out shopping with my 5-year-old daughter. As with most shopping trips, I had to go to the bathroom. I dragged her into the stall with me, and she stood there as I went pee. As I wiped, her eyes got wide..
Darling Daughter: “Wow Mommy, you have red pee!”
*** REMEMBER THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED DISCLAIMER. ***
I look down. Yes… the toilet bowl is full of red water. Not from my urine but because “Aunt Flo” was paying her monthly visit.
Hearing the shuffling of feet in the stall next to me, I decide to ignore the remark. But then….
Darling Daughter: “How do you get red pee? I wish I had red pee.”
What to do? Do I tell her it’s not red pee? Then what? Explain what it is? No thank you. That’s not a conversation for a public bathroom stall.
Not knowing what to do, I motion with a finger in front of my lips to be quiet.
Darling Daughter: “You should wash your hands before you put them on your face.”
Completely embarrassed and certain the stall mate beside me thinks I am the most disgusting person alive, I lean in and whisper for her to be quiet.
The toilet next to me flushes.
I decide to wait for the person to wash their hands and leave. Unfortunately, my darling daughter has something to say about us waiting.
Darling Daughter: “What are we waiting for?”
I hear the person wash their hands and leave. Time to make our escape.
We come out of the bathroom stall just as someone else enters the bathroom.
Darling Daughter (using the loudest “whispering” voice): “Can you show me how I can make red pee? Please, please, please, please?”
Impeccable timing… of course.
Oh my!! I think I would have died!
I almost did.
Oh the things our children say (and the timing they have)! Way too funny, even though it wasn’t funny at the time, I’m sure!

Lol…yep, kids will say the funniest things at the funniest times! Here I was thinking you’d eaten a lot of beets ;-) Maybe that’s your answer until you figure out how to have the “how our bodies change as we grow” talk! BTW-If you’re interested, I actually teach a workshop for parents/guardians on such topics…let me know if you ever want to chat :-)
Thanks! Although I think I need a year (or two) before I start “exploring” this stuff with her.
That is hilarious! If I would have been in the next stall I would have been laughing out loud!
That is hysterical! So what did you end up telling her?
I distracted further and she dropped it. I didn’t know what to say! Now I know… telling her to eat beets would be a way out.
hilarious! and yet awful! makes me glad I have boys lol.
My kids always think I am bleeding and that’s why I need the big band-aid. LOL
lol!! what a great story, you put a smile on my face :D

I just ran across your blog and this post made me laugh out loud! Got to love those fantastic kid stories…they really do say the best things. At your own expense, you will have to remind your daughter of this when she is a teenager! Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha! That story’s a keeper, thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh! Such fun times with kids! this will be a hilarious tale when your girl is old enough to understand it all. So funny!

I bursted laughing when I finished reading the blog because I too had a similar experience with my daughter. Aren’t children just the cutest beings? :)

OH my goodness! I LOL’ed sorry. Kids are funny!
I remember this story! LOL Still makes me laugh
OMGOSH. I just about spewed tea all over my keyboard…
Don’t you just love those moments?
The other day my soon-to-be two year told her teacher at school “Mommy boobies!” and proceeded to try to unbutton my shirt. Something her Daddy jokingly taught her….. I thought I would die. To make it better, she then walked over to her teacher and said “Pretty boobies.” and patted the teacher’s chest…. *sigh*
Daddy and I had a LONG talk about that one LOL
Oh yes, the embarrassment of these moments. Kids!
Love the story you shared. Wow hey?! We have the opportunity for revenge though… just wait until they are teenagers. *maniacal laugh*
