A Wee Incident at the Park

On our walk home from lunch at a local pub we stopped by our village park to enjoy the autumn sunshine. We had the place to ourselves so Tabby stayed in the playground while Edward and I tried to kick a football past Dakota in goal.

It was all going well until Tabitha announced that she needed the loo - and it was "desperate".

With nowhere else to go we had to resort to the bushes on the perimeter of the park. Once she'd finished we looked up and found a mother and small child standing just feet away, staring in disgust. Luckily, they were much too English to say anything.

I wanted to explain but, instead, I just burst into laughter - it's my default.

I have my mom to thank for this entire situation - both laughing at inappropriate times and freestyle outdoor weeing!

But, come on, it's not like Tabs was weeing IN the playground or anything. And they did sneak up on us. And she's learned a new life skill. And ammonia is a major ingredient in fertilizer - right?

Ha ha! I think I have your mom to thank for that also. At least we are able to give our kids an alternative, right? lol

My skills for actually "loo-ing" outdoors....must to be credited to your mom as well. Matter of fact... I don't ever recall stepping foot in your family's bathroom:)

I think that lady was just miffed because you discovered her kid's spot to use in lieu of a loo.

Okay, with Hyatt whose bladder is the size of a walnut, we've watered most bushes and trees in the coastal region with "ammonia". No one cares with boys. Hyatt also is the most pooingest boy ever too, so we've also added that to the flora on occassion. What can you do when it's "desperate?"
