Just hold it....


Okay boys and girls, are there any questions about our schedule for today? Questions? Yes, Stephen??



"Mrs. Smith, did you know I can hold my pee for a really, really, really long time?"



"Huh. Well. I'm not sure what that has to do with the schedule for the day, but thanks for that valuable piece of information. "

You mean you don't have the pee built into the schedule?

They tell you so much more than you need to know, don't they.

at least u payed attention to him...I once tried to tell my teacher about my pee situation, and lets just say I ended up with wet britches...

cute story, as always it made me smile..thanx

Fragrant Liar said...

I think he was warning you. No telling how long he was holding it up till that point. Am I right?

Oh said...

this made me laugh. Your prior entry made me teary-eyed. the good kind. (yeah, I'm a mom, too, thank goodness.)

I'm with Mom on Spin: pee time isn't in the schedule?? What kinda prison camp you associated with?!

OK gotta go and pee...before I jump on the train. Love you xoxoxo

Brian Miller said...

oh its got everything to do with the schedule, cause if he cant hold it much longer its going to really mess your schedule up. lol.

braja - better check the schedule first to make sure its time.

Sara said...

Lucky kid. I swear, I pee every 20 minutes.

Unknown said...

Um. Holding it where, exactly?

Joanna Jenkins said...

And that didn't start a huge pee discussion with the kids? Amazing :-)

and my kid is in trouble for playing with his ruler?

I'm not sure why, but while I'm addressing lunchroom rules, some of my students think it's time to share about teeth/animals/grass....lol. I know how you feel!

Angie Ledbetter said...

Gosh, I wish I was more like Stephen!

Trooper Thorn said...

Why wouldn't you want to know that. You should survey the class and rank the pee holders. That way you can effectively seat the class from closest to furthest from the door.

better a strong bladder than a weak one

SSP said...

i must say, my own bladder has gotten noticeably stronger since I started reading blogs....not only do i have to hold it longer to get through just ONE more, but quite often someone writes something that makes me laugh so hard I "almost" pee myself...

Joanie said...

It's important for you to know because he might reach critical mass at any given moment. I mean, you don't know when he started his latest endurance test, do you?

mo.stoneskin said...

You ARE a cheapskate aren't you? I book 30 minutes down to peeing every day. In the timesheet I just label it 'general'.

Thankfully, I am in here before the comments reach a million!

I am sorry I missed your surprise birthday party blog when it was your birthday - Happy Belated Birthday, VKMom! And, this writer agent guy, like, do you want us to send him spam in your name too?

And has the very strange account hacking thing been dealt with, darling VKMom? All very odd stuff - About time you swabbed the keyboard down with pure alcohol, methinks! Love to you, Fhi x

LadyFi said...

That's so you don't need to have pee breaks in your schedule.

Mrs. E said...

Gotta love kindergarteners! I've only had a couple of sophomores who would be the teenage version of that guy!!

Lorraine said...

You've just got to hope that he really means it when you get on the bus for the field trip!

Unknown said...

It's early in the year yet..wait'll they start sharing interesting tidbits about their parents...


Peace - Rene

Rick Daley said...

He meant hold it in his hand.

The Peach Tart said...

Did you tell him that holding it too long is bad for his bladder?

Scope said...

He's in kindergarten. I would have been afraid that he'd pee'd into his cupped hands and was literally "HOLDING IT" for a long time.

mommakin said...

I do not share his mad skillz...

Kathy B! said...

I have a good "just hold it" story I'll have to post sometime :) I'll tell yo uif I ever get round to writing it because I know you're just sitting at your computer waiting for me to tell you stuff.

Expat mum said...

Gotta love it!

Sprite's Keeper said...

Hm, now I have to pee. That kid is good!

*Akilah Sakai* said...

Ha! Sounds like my son's sort of annoucement.

Crys said...

Younger Boy loves to yell out (no matter where we are at) "My pee is coming out of my pee pee!"

justmakingourway said...

Wait - was that a boast or a warning?!

Real Live Lesbian said...

I bow to Stephen. I have the world's tiniest bladder. Lucky duck.

tracey.becker1@gmail.com said...

Me too! After 3 kids it is quite the feat...

Christine said...

I am thinking a contest is in order. The one that wins gets to clean up after all the losers.

Jeanne Estridge said...

As info goes, not all the useful. It's the kid who CAN'T hold his pee for very long that you need to know about.

Kim said...

At least you know he won't have a toilet break that interferes with your schedule!

Ron said...

Wow! I'm impressed with this kid. The urge to pee is the most powerful thing in world... not even Superman can hold it.

Anonymous said...

Atleast you'll know that when he goes to the bathroom he will be taking a while to get back so you don't have to worry about him! ;)

Irish Gumbo said...

Ahh...a self-contained version of the motorman's friend. Good to have on car trips!

Marinka said...

OMG, I can pee for a really long time too! Thanks for making me feel young at heart!

SkylersDad said...

As a man in his fifties now, I only dream of holding my pee a long time.

Zip n Tizzy said...

He's been reading about all the kindergarten cutbacks.
Are you guys 9-3 or 9-12?
That could make all the difference!

Lawyer Mom said...

Knowledge is power, baby! And that kid is storing it up.

Speaking of knowledge and the lack thereof, Vodka Mom, . . . you just now popped up in my google reader even though your post indicates you put it up days ago. Is it me, I wonder, or Google reader? Hmmm.

Tasha said...

One THOUSAND followers? Are you freakin kidding me? HOW do you do that? Let me bowwwww dowwwnnnnnnn to you, Vodka Mom.

(That was a funny blog, too, btw) (giggle)

Unknown said...

It's amazing how that comes with age...we actually made it through the store tonight without having to take a trip to the potty. Amazing! Also funny how it starts to deteriorate again..with age...(not ha ha funny ;)

Crazy Charm said...

He's just setting you up. He'll be the first one to pee his pants...Wait. Unless that has happened already? I'm going to guess it has. ha
