An Incident

Yes, the stairs needed cleaning. They got clorox wiped because the 4 year 4 month old who has been diaperless for 1 year stood at the top of the stairs, spread eagled, and "leaked."

I forgot how to use the potty, she said.

"Do you need to wear diapers again?" I asked in desperation. This is not the first large accident recently. Oddly enough, they always happen at home.

"No!"

"Then what do we need to do so you remember?"

"Remind me lots and lots and lots," she answered.

I finished wiping down all the surfaces. "Who will remind you at school?" I asked her.

She had to think about that. "I will."

The smoke alarm went off. The sweet potato fries were totally black. Now I have to rethink supper.
