A Surprisingly Sane Blog

Actually, I had two, a.k.a. “Julie” and “April”.

But this evening, my family had Julie convinced that her mommy had an actual “accident”.

As in the “Mommy!  You peed in your pants!” kind of accident.  (And yes, I really am making that stupid of a face.  I have no shame, can you tell?)

Now, if I could say I really had peed myself, this probably wouldn’t have been nearly as funny.  Although, I’m sure I still probably would have gotten a picture of it and posted to the internet: Hey World!  I just pissed myself!…

But luckily, that didn’t happen.  What did happen was that my little accident #2 decided to, well, cause a bit of an “oops“.  April managed to grab my cup of iced tea and dump it all over me.  Most of it was on my backside… however, the look of horror that would have been on my dad’s face if I’d asked him to take a picture of my ass (albeit with my freaking awesome new camera!) just might have killed the hysterical giggles emanating from my parents’ kitchen.

Of course, as soon as the cold liquid pooled on the chair under my ass, I started squealing, “It’s cold!  Oh my gosh, my butt’s soaking wet!”.

Everyone busted up laughing as I showed off my soaked bum, and Julie blurted out, “Mommy had an accident!“.

The absolute glee on her face was, perhaps, one of the most excited looks I have ever seen on my child’s face.  It was the proud look of a 3-year-old who just witnessed that finally, for the first time EVER, Mommy had just pissed herself.  Christmas morning all over again.

Her eyes were shining as she grabbed my hand and said, “It’s okay, Mommy, accidents happen.”

I have never seen my daughter stand taller than at that very moment.

To save a tiny bit of pride, I tried to explain that it was “tea”, not “pee”, that was all over the crotch of my pants, but it didn’t seem to matter.  The smug and amused look on her little face had everyone nearly laughing to the point of tears.  There was no point in breaking her heart and going into further explanation.  I was doomed to let my daughter believe I had actually wet myself like a toddler.

A few minutes later, she was doing the pee-pee dance, so everyone told her it was time to use the potty.

And you know what that little snot had the nerve to say with a gleam in her eye?

“Well, mommy peed in her pants, so I can pee in mine.”

*sigh*

Don’t worry, she made it to the toilet in time.

And to appease her, I told her not to worry because when I’m an old fart, I just might pee my pants and wear diapers… and she’s welcome to laugh at me then.
