To Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth. November 27, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Princess Hannah , trackbackI should probably lock the bathroom door. I was never warned that when you become a mother you instantly loose the right to privacy.
When I take a shower (which, amazingly, I still try to do on a regular basis) I have two choices. I can lock the bathroom door, and listen to Hannah yell, “MOMMY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” again, and again for 20 minutes, or I can leave it unlocked and let her walk in to see for herself.
Being the very grown up, independent two year old that she is, she invited herself into the bathroom while I was taking a shower today.
“Mommy, what are you doing?” (She still asks this question even though she knows darn well what I’m doing)
“Honey, I’m taking a shower. Now shut the curtain and go play!”
“Hannah take a shower!” (She likes to refer to herself in third person)
Before I knew it, she had stripped off all her clothes and diaper. How can you turn down a well meaning two year old?
As we sat in a bath of water while I shaved my legs (because shaving is the most important part of taking a shower) Hannah got a big smile on her face and said, “Mommy, Hannah’s peeing in the bathtub.”
Nice.
And then I smiled and thanked her for telling me.
I am so THANKFUL on this THANKSGIVING DAY that two year olds are inclined to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Lucky for us, we got to take two showers today.

This made me laugh! Happy Thanksgiving!
That is great!!
Gross! I have been there; I just have to say that one time with one of our little ones… it wasn’t pee… and the floating chunks mixed right along with the Bath & Body Works Bubble Bath! SO GROSS!
I can personally attest to the fact that the Bath & Body Works Bubble Bath’s scent is sufficiently strong enough to cover ANY smell!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I have read plenty of your posts and really like the way you write. I did notice, that you don’t meantion your son very much and if you do so, it seems in a negative way. Even though he cries alot, he deserves to be meantioned as much as you meantion your princess Hannah.
Well that came up in my head when I was reading today. Maybe you will think about it and start celebrating your son as much as you do your daughter.
God bless your little family!
Classic.
I love how she told on herself !!! She is so sweet. Hold on you guys and daddy will be home soon !!
Emily,
I love the story. I know the feeling, but it makes it none the grosser! Hey what is your current address…I would love to exchange Christmas cards. Send it to my email!
Oh my heck, my husband and I got a good laugh from that one! What a funny little girl! Good thing pee is sterile but still…ewwww!
Charly,
I appreciate your comment. You are not the first person to bring this to my attention and I have been thinking about the way I write about my children. Although my little guy is still pretty little, he is a darling little thing and I do have some good things to celebrate about him.
Thanks for commenting,
Emily
