Ok so...we were in the store last night getting groceries right? Well I was looking at something down the aisle with Micah in the stroller...Josh was up at the other end of the same aisle with Caleb in the shopping cart. And this is what I hear...
Caleb: Daddy, my pirates hurt. (pirates is what Caleb calls his privates, when he says this it means he has to pee)
Daddy: Caleb shhhhhhhhh (not realizing what he means)
Caleb: (at the top of his lungs) DADDY DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY PIRATES??!!
Daddy at this point turns bright red and glances around looking desperately for me.
Caleb: (insistent now) DADDY MY PIRATES HURT!!!!
Me: C'mon Caleb (I'd booked it down the aisle as quickly as I could to rescue Josh and interpret for my son)...let's go potty. I then take Caleb in the restroom where he promises to pee as long as I swear I won't flush the toilet (public potties scare him when they flush). I promised (knowing full well I was not going to leave pee in the toilet, but he had to go, so I lied) and then put him on the pot where he peed. And then I flushed the potty while he stands there screaming "NO NO NO MOMMY DON'T FLUSH THE POTTY!"
When we came back out I informed Josh that "My pirates hurt" means, he has to pee. Josh then declares, well why doesn't he just say he has to pee. I just give him a look while I'm thinking to myself, "because he's 3 genius!" However, I was good...I didn't say it!! LOL
We practically ran up to the cash register to check out, so we could escape the sideways glances coming our way. When we got to the register, my very verbal 3 year old decids all of a sudden to be shy and demure for the cashier and bagboy who are trying to play with him! I was just grateful he didn't start telling them about his "pirates!!!!!" LOL
Oh my goodness! Elliya hates those autoflushing toilets too!
