– a mama & munchkin misadventure
Yesterday was rough. I was determined to make today better. I made a plan to go for a walk: gets us all some fresh air, gets the dog outside (he’s depressed without his favorite human) Win- Win. I got my shower, got the kids dressed, and we head to the porch. We find helmets (have a slight meltdown because there was a spider in boos), we dig their bikes out from under the mess, lock the door, and then I realize I don’t have a poop bag.
Ugh.
The dog is finally showing some excitement and he has tangled himself in boos bike, Hunk is riding back and forth giggling. Normally I would leave the dog outside since he’s too lazy to go anywhere and run in. But I can’t. Because there is an older gentleman walking his purse puppy down our street. I don’t want to terrify the neighborhood. So I have to untangle the dog, find the key, drag him inside (and since he’s excited for the possibility of a walk it’s no easy feat), grab a poop bag, rush back outside, and lock the door. I’m sweating already. The dog and I head off the porch all ready to start our walk.
Look around for the kids. I see them two houses down. Boo is on her bike ready to go. Hunk is off his bike.
Shorts at his ankles.
Underpants down.
Happily peeing on the neighbors lawn.
Facing their huge front bay window.
Naked butt out for the entire street to see.
“Hunk WHAT are you doing?!?”
“I had to GO!!!!”
“We don’t pee on other people’s lawns!!!! Get over here!!”
“But I had to GO!!!”
🤦♀️
Sorry new neighbors. I hope you were still sleeping. And didn’t have to witness a four year old in a bike helmet, goofy haircut, a fancy tie and no pants peeing on your lawn like some modern day Picasso. I wish I could promise it won’t happen again. But he didn’t seem to like my logic of “no peeing for everyone to see”.
