It had been a very long day. Bickering little girls, too many days of hot weather, and too many stops on my errand list had all of us walking the fine line between sanity and "that other place." Just three items left on my list and we could get home to air conditioning and some quiet rest time.
As I stood wearily comparing yogurt prices, I turned to see my (very well potty-trained) 4 year-old inexplicably squatting on the seat of the shopping cart front of everyone. Yes, I said squatting. Everything sort of went into slow-motion for me as I forced my eyes downward to see pee flowing over the seat, down into my purse just below, spreading over our popsicles and bananas below that, and pooling in a nice yellow puddle on the floor.
You’ve always wondered what it takes to make me speechless. Now you know. Of course, I more than compensated for it on the trip home.
But by the time Jack came home a few hours later, I was able to chuckle. . .a little. Even as I pulled my dripping cell phone and badly smeared journal out of my purse!
Have a wonderful day, and don't stop laughing!

Deanna, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I laughed so hard at your post. I have had similar experiences & what a blessing it is to everyone for us to laugh now rather than wait until later at the little mishaps that happen in our day. Blessings! Dana Bailey (www.livingstones4moms.com)
