Frustrated Toddler

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?

I hope you remember this story when they start getting frustrated. My three year old son had a lot of problems with potty training, and I was on him constantly.

One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room.

While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven month old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Matt had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him, and he said, "No."

But I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident and I didn't have any change of clothes with me." So I asked Matt, "Are you sure you did not have an accident?"

"No," he replied.

But I just knew that he must have had, because the smell was getting worse! Soooo... I then asked him one more time, "Matt honey, are you sure you haven't had an accident?"

This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled... See MOM! IT'S JUST FARTS!

While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down to eat his food as if nothing happened. I was mortified, but some kind elderly people made me feel a lot better, when they came over and thanked me for the best laugh they had ever had!!!
