Bath Thoughts

Things that actually happened while bathing my children last night:

1. I uttered the sentence, "Is that poop or acorns?"
Yes, both of those are realistic possibilities for things that might be found in a bathtub with 3 children.  More accurately, those are in fact things I might see coming out of the large cup of water one child just poured over another child's head.

2. I washed the same child's hair 3 times.
No, it was not that dirty.  I simply forgot which child I had washed.  Then I did it again.  Sometimes a mommy brain just shorts out.

3. A bottle of conditioner had a conversation with a 4 year-old.
I might have been behind the shower curtain using a really deep voice to pretend to be conditioner talking, but that bottle of conditioner stole the show.  He tried to make a mess on the walls, floor, arms, feet, etc, until my daughter showed him that he went on her hair, and even then he protested.  Glad she finally won!

4. I fell asleep on the rug in the bathroom floor.
It was only for a second because as soon as I 'fell asleep' I was tackled by a soggy toddler who suddenly had a really good reason to get out of the bath.  Good thing she got out or I might have slept there all night.  Note: pretending to fall asleep is dangerous - it's far too easy to cross the line into actually being asleep.

5. It was acorns.
