Why you should never ever go into a store bathroom with three kids by yourself...

I know it's a long title and yes this is going to be another long post. Just remember that I warned you.

Several weeks ago, I had to stop at the good ole "Wal-marts" as everyone calls it here. We needed some diapers, and needless to say Madilyn smelled yucky and both of the boys needed to go to the bathroom. I had just walked in, grabbed an empty cart, drove up to the bathroom, parked the cart in front, and hauled all three kids into the bathroom. I pulled down the diaper changing table and then proceeded to get the boys in the stall so that they could go potty. I noticed there was someone in the handicap stall, so I stood outside our stall door so both boys could stand in the stall. There was no way all 4 of us could fit.
So, I'm talking to them for a few seconds..."Tyler you're such a big boy to go in the potty" and on and on. (Tyler was getting potty trained). As I'm standing there, this 6ft 4 bearded man walks in and stops, looks at me, and walks out. I started laughing and I was thinking what an idiot. David walks out of the stall and asks me what I'm laughing at.
Then, he says, "Mom, I don't want to go in here, I want to go over there."
I said, "You have to go in the toilet."
He's like, "No Mom, over there."
Then, I looked over, and I see them in their blazing white glory. There were two urinals on the other wall!! I grabbed David and ran outside really fast to look at the sign on the door. And yes, it was the men's bathroom. No big deal. I started laughing at myself, and Tyler comes running out. And this is where things get interesting. I look down and he has NO PANTS on.
I said, "Tyler, where are your pants?"
"In there." (pointing into the men's bathroom)
Then, I look down, and he has NO UNDERWEAR on either!!
"WHERE ARE YOUR UNDERWEAR?!?!?!"
We're standing right in the middle of the whole store, and one of my kids is completely indecent!! I was a bit embarrassed by this time. I pick him up, run back into the men's bathroom, grab the undies and pants, push up the changing table, grab the diaper bag, and run into the women's. The whole time, Tyler is pretty much bare bottomed. I guess we could have gotten in trouble for indecent exposure. And, the poor guy in the other stall was probably frightened to death and wouldn't come out!!


My poor children--their mother is losing her mind!! The things they go through. I'm just grateful that they're a still a little young.

Happy Sunday, everyone!!
