You're so PRETTY!
I love the idea of the "Family Restroom" that is available at Walmart. What I don't love is having the baby toilet and the big toilet side by side with no privacy dividers inbetween them. My little guy was trying really hard to look the other way and give me privacy, but curiosity got the best of him and he peeked right when I was about to pull up my pants. He immediately shouted out in disbelief, " Mom! you are wearing a GIANT'S underwear!" *sigh*... Nothing builds you up like a four year old with no filter...
When my oldest son was this age, he saw a lady at the store with some serious "junk in her trunk" and said outloud while pointing to her, "Mom! That lady has a super huge bum". I was terified she might have heard, and quickly walked the opposite direction and after being out of her sight, I gave him a very stern lecture about how unkind that was, and how we need to be careful about what we say so we don't make people feel bad about how they look. He asked me what he should have said instead-- to which I replied, "nothing! just don't say anything at all" he was not satisfied with this and kept pushing the subject with me. Finally we concluded that from now on, if he saw something that seemed shocking or strange to him regarding any woman, he could use a code. The code was saying the word, "pretty", followed immediately with winking two times. So from now on, he could simply say, " mom look at that pretty lady" *wink*, *wink*. This seemed like a good idea at the time, but several weeks later I took him into a dressing room with me while out clothes shopping for myself. After trying on a pair of pants he exclaimed, "oh mom! you're bum is really...REALLY...PRETTY!!!" *wink* *wink*
