It would stand to reason that I would do a blog entry about New Year's Resolutions. If I did, I could borrow one I heard that is almost sure to be attained by the majority of people - gain weight this year. Yes, I could do a blog about that.
Ah, but no, I have to return to bath time. At this point, you are thinking, why is he doing another piece about peeing? I can assure you, this has absolutely nothing to do with pee. So, sit back, relax and read on.
See, I was taking my turn to bathe the boys. After all, it had been several weeks and with Nicki's hand being wrapped and bandaged from her recent surgery, I felt it was only right that I do my small part to help.
As per the required order of exiting the tub (determined in part due to the prior recorded tub incident), Josh was out first and I was helping him get lotioned and dressed.
Then Jonny exclaimed something. I wasn't really certain I heard what he said. Well, that's not quite acurate. Truthfully, I was just afraid that I had heard Jonny correctly. And then Mikey started crying.
I turned around and returned to the tub to find Jonny and Mikey on their tiptoes in the bathtub and looking down with horror on their faces (and perhaps some worry about what my response would be)...
at what appeared to be large, bloated Hershey's Kisses floating in the tub. Since I was pretty certain the nearest bag of chocolate was downstairs in the pantry, obviously, they weren't Hershey's Kisses and I HAD heard Jonny correctly.
I suppose it was the fresh pine scent of the freshly cleaned bathtub that led Mikey to believe this would be okay. He had sat on the toilet just before getting in the tub. What other explanation can there be? Yet there is something that baffles me. Riddle me this:
The bathub is about 2 feet deep. Mikey is about 30 inches tall. How did a nugget end up on the top of the tub surround, with a brown streak over the lip of the tub? We may never know.
I told you this had nothing to do with pee.
