If It Walks Like A Duck…
Recently, my husband and I, decided that we need to spend more one on one time with our children. Often times in large families this can be hard to do, and the next thing you know you’re sitting face to face with Dr. Phil hearing these words: “HOW’S THAT WORKING FOR YOU?” And since I’m not partial to semi-bald guys yelling in my face, this plan was quickly placed into action.
On my next outing to the post office, I invited my 3 year old daughter, Kyndle, to tag along. Of course, she was very excited. “Yay, I’m going out with mama By. My. Self.”
Before we left, I made sure to ask, “do you have to go to the bathroom?”
“No,” she said. “Let’s go!”
So off to the the post office we went.
Several moments later, we were standing in line when Kyndle says, “I have to pee!” REALLY LOUDLY!
Out of embarrassment I ask, “didn’t mommy ask if you had to go to the bathroom before we left the house?”
“Yes,” she replied.
“Well, can you hold it?”
“Sure I can.” And what happens next is the reason why I’m searching for another post office OUT OF STATE.
This kid proceeds to cup her hands under her shorts, like she was waiting for a football to shoot out. Crouch down real low and waddle out of the post office.
“COME ON MAMA,” she screamed for all ears to hear. I CAN FEEL IT COMING OUT!”
This made me laugh out loud. Oh, the adventures I have to look forward to!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
No good deed goes unpunished. EVER.
That’s what you get for spending more time with your kids. Too funny.
Lol!
Oh. My. Gosh!! LMAO!! I can totally picture this and this is just too cute….and funny! I feel for ya momma cause I KNOW you weren’t thinking it was at the time.

ROFLOL!!! In situations like that you cannot help but laugh.
@ KathyB!:
Never. Ever.

Absolutely the funniest thing I have read all week…though maybe the most cringworthy for you!
hahaha – oh no I’m so sorry! I am taking mental note to NOT use the phrase “can you HOLD it” –
Thanks for sharing your (albeit amusing) pain. :-$
I think they don’t even really hear us when we ask them the first time. It’s like they’re conditioned to say no without thinking about it first. lol
It makes for a good story though!
Hahaha!
Don’t you love it when the kids take you literally?
Sorry for the dup comments. Actually all 3 of them now. This is why I don’t blog hop– I suck at it!
Story of my life!
Last time we were at the bank, there were about 8 people ahead of me in line and 20 behind me and Hailey goes “I NEED TO POOP!!!!”
My daughter peed on the CARPETED floor of T-Mobile store when she was 3. I scolded her, and she said, “Well! I telled you I had to pee!”
True, very true!
HAHA! That was so funny! She was literally willing to “hold it”.
This is why I love stopping by, Stesha…you always keep me laughing and today I REALLY needed it! Thanks for lightening my mood (I may have even leaked a bit myself reading it…TMI for sure, but true nonetheless!).
hilarious! gotta love a good post office potty incident. good stuff!
AHAHAHAHA! I absolutely LOVE it!! Now where was the camera when you needed it?
I’m sorry but that is hilarious. I too would look for a new P,O.
I saw soemthing exactly like that at the Post Office once…only by an adult…doing a full-crotch-grab-I-gotta-go-pee-dance…..
Now that’s juts not something you see everyday.
That is fabulous! I have totally been there and reading your post sure took me back.
What a gem!
Excuse me while I wipe away my tears from laughing. That’s exactly why I leave those little jokers at home.

I think small children have a gift for this sort of thing. You should have seen my mom’s face when my 5-year-old sister explained to the cashier at the grocery store how a baby “comes out.”
LMAO!!! I have learned, (I’m an Aunt not a Mom)the hard way, that when they say they need to go, it’s because it’s coming.
Poor baby, she was so excited to have you by herself.
For a second there, I thought you were going to say she was trying to “hold it” in her hands…lol. My daughter does this to me all the time, but usually not this loudly. I needed a laugh this morning
Ha-ha! Poor Stesha =)
HY.STARE.I.CULLLL!!!!! My daughter would do something exactly like this. We are potty training and the worst is when you pick them up and they are wet (while not at home) and you have to just wonder and ask yourself “Where did the pee go?” Oh man. Priceless story….
My best, Lynn
O-M-G!!!!!! LOL!
OMG!!!! That is too funny! You did ask if she can hold it. She was going to make an attempt to hold it in her hands. Kids are so funny!
Can I say that I’m kickin’ myself for not visiting you sooner?! You are hilarious and totally mean for making me spit out my chocolate velvet flavored coffee all over my computer keyboard as I nearly choked with laughter! With 7 buggers of my own, I can definitely relate to the need to spend alone time with each one whenever possible. It is a tremendous challenge! So whenever you get around to it, I’d love to know: “How’s that working for you?”
Love the title of this. You nailed it.
