It's a canoe race...


Okay boys and girls, that’s our schedule for the day. Any other questions or comments?


Jack: “Did you know I can hold my pee for a really, really, really long time?” (Big smile)


Me: “Huh. Well. Are you experimenting with that theory right about now?”


Jack: “What does that mean?”


“That means – go to the bathroom. We’ll wait.”

  1. So my kid is starting preschool and she's about 95% potty trained.

    I fear she will pee pee all over things cause she'll be so darn excited :)

  3. The operative word being "experimenting" we know they don't always work.

  4. I had to learn that skill on road trips with my dad! "Hey dad I got to pee!" "Ok next exit I promise!" *60 MPH past next exit...*

  6. You're easy, VM. He totally played you. Gone are the days of raising hands and asking for hall passes.

  7. I used to be able to hold my pee forever! I could drive from NJ to NC, drink 3 cups of coffee and do the whole drive without peeing! I barely make it out of my driveway now! hahaha!

  8. Nobody can hold their pee as long as teachers can. Nobody.

    They should make an Olympic sport with that talent.

  11. Tomorrow, it's waffles of course. Slathered in syrup.

  12. If only peeing was more exciting...our kids would do it more often.

  13. Boys! They've always been able to hold their pee longer than us girls! It's just not fair.

  14. So funny. Now he wants to boast of holding it, and in just a few years he'll want to claim he has to pee frequently to get out of class and roam the hallways...

  15. Not a talent that he really is going to be proud of in a few years given UTIs aren't that funny when they are yours.

  16. That child is going to be a senator.

  17. I WISH my bladder was that strong, but after 3 kids NOTHING is where its supposed to be!

  18. Love it. I really think my 3.5 yr old is going to be the kid who is not potty trained by kindergarten. Girlfriend has NO interest in it. Sigh.

  19. Such talent! His parents must be sooo proud!

  20. How cute is that, until he can't hold it anymore and it's at the worst time. :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Why do they always want to see how long they can hold it?

    ReplyDelete
  22. My once mighty bladder has seen better days now that I am one the downward slope past 50!

  23. You have the best conversations...lol

  24. I was THAT kid in the classroom! LOL! I didn't want to go to the bathroom because I was afraid I'd miss something. (Overachiever??? LOL!) My teachers were pretty good at spotting it though (I think my mom clued them in).

  25. Cracks me up. Seriously, any kid who mentions any part of the bathroom should be sent there - it's like a code for "I gotta go."

  26. Princess Nagger 'experiments' with trying to hold it as long as possible. When I notice her doing the 'pee dance' I have to order her to go pee. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Of course I have to read this post as the same moment I am dying to go pee!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Now that's the kid to take on a roadtrip.

  29. That must open up a lot of career possibilities. Toll booth operator is the first one I can think of...

  30. With your intuitive and decoding skills, you could work for the CIA.

  31. 'sperimenting 5 year olds is always iffy.... espeically when there is pee involved.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Where do kids come up with this stuff :-)
    What a crack up.

  33. Hey,


    My son told me the other day a boy got sent to the principal's office during recess. He couldn't believe it. I asked him what the boy had done for that to happen.... he said he was showing the girls his pee pee....oh, the proud parents after THAT phone call!!

  34. I'm at the library experimenting with that very same theory right now. =~o

  35. The most difficult part of teaching small children is interpreting everything they say in a timely fashion!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Haha! It reminds me of a boy I have who always insists he doesn't have to go to the bathroom, but has a certain dance he does when he needs to pee...lol!

    ReplyDelete
  37. haha! funny! ok. this just reminded me when i was younger. my classmate really told me a scary story about the comfort room. So, during the class, I felt like peeing. I know how to ask permission to go to the CR but my thoughts overshadowed my voice.So, there- I did it inside the class! And I was like, did i just pee?
