There are no words.......

As I begin this post I just have to shake my head and tell you I couldn't possibly have made this story up, it really happened.

To set the scene it is about 5:30pm I am minutes from putting food on plates for dinner, Phil is on his way home, and the kids are watching an episode of Super Why I DVR'd for them. About twice a week I DVR a few shows so that when Phil is working late I have about thirty minutes to prepare dinner.

All the sudden I hear Katie tell Jack to pause it she needed to go potty. I need to also mention that Maddie has suddenly become fascinated with the bathroom. So if you are in the bathroom she wants to be in there with you regardless of the smell. I heard the girls in there talking while Katie was going but nothing really caught my attention.......that is until I heard..........."Mommy you need to come in here RIGHT NOW."

My hands are full of food as I am cutting up Maddie's dinner. I asked her what is going on because my hands were a mess. She tells me while she was pooping Maddie dropped one of her ABC's in the toilet.

GROSS!

At that very moment, Phil walks in the door. Without skipping a beat I grab a pair of tongs and hand them to Phil and say, "Don't ask......Please just go into the bathroom with these."

There was this long dramatic pauses as Phil looks at me as if I suddenly had grown antenna's or an extra head. But like the good husband he does as he was asked, and then drops the letter G into the trash shaking his head.

I was hoping it was one of her plastic ABC's that I could disinfect through the dishwasher. However no such luck it was the wooden set. As I walked over to Phil to check which set it came from, he already knew what I was thinking. He just looked at me and said, "No it is going in the trash."

I just gave him the 'Yes Dear' look and walked away. I was really bummed though as the wooden ABC's is one of Maddie's favorite toys. She plays with it everyday. She loves to make getting the letters in the right places a game and for an 18 month old this is a great fine motor skill practice for her.

My only consolation is that I still have her Toys R Us gift card she received at Christmas. So maybe we can replace the ABC puzzle next weekend.

This happened earlier in the week put I hadn't had a chance to post about it yet.

Have a Great Week!!!!!
