Words of Wisdom
IF you let your son pee in an empty drink bottle when it is a “REAL EMERGENCY!” and you’re not in a safe “pee next to the car” area… and IF this happens twice in two days… and IF you forget to throw the bottle away (or, to be more ecologically correct, empty it into the toilet or impatiens and recycle the bottle)…
PLEASE, take my advice…
do NOT use a sport-top water bottle that easily opens when a little sister inadvertently steps on it while climbing into the car. Because THEN, you will have to deal with the Moment of Horror, when your son has a third emergency the very next day and he says “Oh, Mommy, I could just go in this empty bottle here.”
Next time: “stale pee versus baking soda in the minivan floor carpeting arena”, or, “how to train your mother to visit the bathroom before you leave the store.”
