Multitasking Will Be the Death of Me
Never in my life did I anticipate that there would come a day when I'd be saying, in earnest, to another human being, "No! We don't put shoes in the potty! That makes them yucky!"
The ridiculousness of it really makes it quite hilarious. Truth be told, I should've cleaned the bathrooms this morning, so my little one-year-old potty scrubber extraordinaire could've had my full attention (or at least presence in the room). Instead, Grandma and I went shopping this morning. And so the shoes-in-the-potty incident occurred at 4:20 in the afternoon when I'd left little Leah to her scrubbing as I helped Addison with his piano. And simultaneously tried to be patient as I reminded Bryn that she could not earn a quarter for cleaning a window when it did not, in fact, end up clean, as she and Addison and a step stool and I all danced around each other on our outside step landing that is roughly two feet by two feet, trying not to fall.
I returned to the bathroom to finish scrubbing the tub and that's when it all went down. And the shoe was brand new.

Wait - whose shoe WAS it?
