Seeing Urinals

Oneday (today) me and The Girl went to the pool. She decided to hop out of the pool and run into the boys locker room saying "I go home." I said "Cedar Cedar Cedar Cedar (while clenching my teeth and getting all nervous, cause these kinds of situations are bad for me) Ce der. Come. Here. Stop Stop Stop Cedar Come Here Stop No No No NO CE DER. Then I had to go in. I mean IN TO the boys room saying something stupid like: "Hello!" (as if to warn any males in there. No one said hello back)

It was sooo scary. There were urinals right in front of me! And luckily no naked persons. I scooped her up as she was about to run out the front door of the building, came back to the pool (through the girls locker room), picked up our belongings and left. I think this might be funny in like a year, maybe even a week from now, but I just don't feel like laughing about it yet.

What would have been the best thing for me to do had their been dudes in there, naked or peeing? What's the protocol? Should I say (for next time) "Woman coming through!!! Cover up!!!" Or just barrell through pretending not to see anything? Should I yell "Please grab the girl and bring her to me pleasee!!!!! The one with the Dora floaty wings!!"

So embarrassing.

In the meantime...I just checked The-Joy-Which-Is-My-Own and she cracked an egg on the coffee table and the yoke was in a puddle in the carpet. Yay!!!! This is so fun!!

Stay tuned for More Extreme Tales of a Perilous 2 Year Old and her Nervous Mother ..release date yet to be announced.

Okay, the egg on the table, that's a good one. Ours just screams if she doesn't get her way, about everything, and I mean everything...fun!

About the girl in the boys room, I feel your pain, but seriously, most of the time, the boys are standing on the toilet changing cause they don't want the other boys to see them...So that big room you probably didn't pay much attention to on the way through to the lobby...empty
