ellie and i were in the car driving back from our lunch date at baja fresh and my cellphone rings.
me- "hello?"
caller- " hi mrs. h, this is janet the school nurse, chloe needs a change of clothes"
me- "ooook? what happened?"
janet the school nurse- "chloe couldn't get her bathing down in time and had alittle accident..."
FLASHBACK TO EARLIER THAT MORNING....
chloe- "mom look, i have my new swimsuit on under my school clothes!!"
me- "chloe, how are you gonna go to the bathroom? you will have to get all undressed..."
chloe- "ughhh mom, i don't go to the bathroom at school!"
me- " ok........."
so i go to the school to pick chloe up and she is crying from embarressment. we go out to the car, i am buckling ellie in...
me- " see chloe, i told you so!"
chloe- "ugh i told the nurse you were gonna say that"
ellie- "chloe don't cry, i peed my pants today too!" ( she really did but that is a whole other issue! )
me- " didn't you guys know that only the cool kids pee their pants?"
ellie and chloe- PRICELESS LAUGHS AND SMILES!
i think it is awesome i actually got to use that line in real life...HAHA!
chloe gave me permission to write this! i am not that mean =)
oh my goodness that is too funny, but also I feel so much sympathy for her. Poor girl...I can still remember having a similar issue in Kindergarten...although not that I wore a bathing suit under my uniform, but I had to have the school nurse give me clean clothes. Worse yet was the sheer horror that in HS some of the kids still remember that. Glad you could make them laugh.
