adventures in mommy hood

Today I am on the phone with Jake and Dexter says he has to go potty. I tell him ok go then. What I failed to hear was the backdoor opening. A few minutes later Dexter came in and said I need to wash I have a little bit of poop in my pants. What? Did you forget to wipe? No there was no toilet paper outside. ... Did you poop outside. Here come the Dexter tears. Where is the rest of this poop? Max the chihuahua comes in licking his chops. He and Dexter exchange looks. Dexter hop in the shower. Max never come near me again.

Moral of the story: Get specifics when your child asks for something. ie hey mom can I go to billy's house? and do what my angel? light firecrackers out of my ears for a killer youtube video. Details parents. That is what we need from our children.
