Great one about the bowel movements!! I completely agree! You talk about potty training to friends that don't have kids and they just don't understand why it's a big deal for someone to pee or poo in the potty. :)

When you start mothering other (grown) people! At my last job, the guy who sat next to me would keep a jacket there in case it got cold, but it was always ending up on the floor getting stepped on, people would wear it outside to smoke, etc. Finally I couldnt take it anymore and became his clean jacket fairy...I would take it home and wash it for him like once a week LOL

When my daughter was first learning to walk she fell and got the smallest little cut near her nose (just the way she had hit her face) and I [1] over reacted to the point that my one year old daughter was patting my head saying "mommy ok" and [2] when I told my husband about it I used words like "boo boo" and "owie".
My sister has a two year old daughter too - and her thing is by 9pm she's falling asleep because it's past her bedtime (hers, not her daughters lol).
Source(s): @ Charli - you definately nailed it there. LOL. What is the fascination with kids and being an audience in the bathroom? It's great when I get the "yay! you used the potty" cheer afterwards. ;0) - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.

when:
you tell your co-worker/house guest you have to go potty.
you wear your spit up stained shirt to wal-mart and you're too tired to care.
you start taking long refreshing showers because you know its probably the only relaxation you will have for the day.
you breathe a sigh of relief in the restaurant when someone else's kid is throwing a fit, thanking the Lord, that its their child and not yours.
