Marvelous, Debra. Your light four-line poem is heavy on charm and perfect for inclusion in your book of your "musings." Monorhymed lines are creative and without wasted words. Marilyn

LMAO Good one! She MUST have been engrossed in the story for sure Debs.
When Jackson was smaller and I'd watch him at play...all of a sudden, he'd clutch his crotch and yell "I gotta pee!"
So many children seem to let it build up until it's almost too late and then dive for the loo. Seems Yolanda was RIGHT at home in your lap where it was safe and warm haha Unfortunately you've just shared the consequences of comfortable laps Vs lazy toilet habits haha
Thank God it was only a number one! hahaha
Cute and dare I say it, I almost pissed myself laughing haha

Oh no! Oh no!
Now, that's an unfortunate incident!
It might make sense to keep an extra pair of clothing there!
Poor one! She must have been so ashamed!
And poor you!

You still manage to talk about it with good humor though! :)

Good job on your story although I hope it is a one time only kind of story.

With young kids, one never knows when the urge will hit them.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Debra!

This is a great laugh (though maybe not at the time!) Thanks for sharing the heart-warming little tale in your poem. I hope the child wasn't too mortified.
It must have been a fantastic story!

Great job! I love how you laid out your stanza.

LOL this is hilarious. The joys of motherhood are just endless, aren't they. You are just too good a storyteller for bathroom breaks, Debra
