To laugh at the little boy in the next cubicle

[TheoriginalLEM]

I was just in a popular fast food chain when i really needed to.um.use the facilities

alittle boy came in with hisnan

"ooooh whats that smell"

nan was mortified - haha

i was tying not to laugh but lost it when he said "is it a spider?"

Well i thought it was funny

Ugh. Smelly spider.

Made me smile.

I would've laughed too op.

Ahhh he sounds cute. I would have laughed. Love it when kids just come out with whatever they think. Except when they're with me

I love hearing little kids embarass their parents. I haven't dared to go in a public loo with DD yet as at home she has taken to applausing when someone leaves the loo and "you did it! Good wees! Well done!" I don't think strangers would appreciate it.

Between toilet training a 2 year old and a 4 year old, public toilets run a very high risk of social embarrassment. Being the only female in the household the boys are fascinated by my absence of a willy and frequently have loud interrogations about why I don't have one and how do I wee.

I have come out of a cubicle and found someone I know washing their hands before.

I would love a round of applause snozberry

DD was out with DH on Sunday and he needed the loo. According to DH she 'really stared and laughed'

I have that too mrsmook . Though the youngest now growing out of it. He now just tries to open the door while I'm on the toilet

I regularly get asked if I have "flushed and washed" by my 4 year old.
I wonder sometimes if this is a flash forward to when I am very old.
When I finish my dinner in a restaurant I get "Good eating mummy!" and yesterday I was cleaning up he said "Good wiping mummy!"
All this started with preschool and now he's in reception he's even more up himself encouraging.

MrsMook oh yes, I know what that's like. Ds1 had a very long phase asking if so-and-so had aa 'winky'

I hate taking mine to the toilet. My DD will shout if anyone makes a noise. "what's that mommy? Who's there? HELLO?? I'm having a stink go away please!" My DS just tries to make a mad dash as soon as I try to sit down. It's gotten to the point I have to hold hands while I use the toilet with him to keep him from throwing the door open and showing the world what I'm up to.

My friends twin DDs are currently potty training and get a small piece of chocolate when they poo on the potty...every time I nip to the loo at their house even to just wash my hands, I have two little girls hammering on the door saying "Lego, potty?!" "YAAAAAAAY LEGO POTTY GOOD JOB" with clapping and cheering...I am then guided to the chocolate bowl and ceremoniously and VERY seriously handed a piece of chocolate...it's adorable!

Oh lego i want to live in your house f you ave chocolate for that. Your dds are sooo cute. x

If and have....

Before I had kids I was waiting in a long queue at the toilets. There was one little lad, about two, really well behaved but fed up of waiting so he looked under the door to see what was taking so long.

His poor mother was mortified.

I was in a shop the other day and a little girl behind us said to her mum 'MUMMY. I haven't weed in the bed in AGES.' I couldn't help looking and her mum was mortified and hastily explained to me that actually the child hadn't weed in the bed in 2 years, so heavens knew what made her discuss it then!

It was very funny

Ah I miss the days of being embarrassed by DC in public loos (and swimming pool changing cubicles - we used to use a family cubicle when we had 2 DC under 3, cue 3yo DD shouting 'Daddy why DO you have that ...that.... pony tail on your bottom?' - the people in the next door cublicle sniggered loudly!)

Best I overheard was a little boy in the loo with his mum. Mummy what is that smell, someone is doing a big poo aren't they mummy. It's not you is it mummy, your just doing a big wee aren't you mummy - accompanied by lots of shushing from the mum.and no, it was not me either

Ha! Round here those are called 'Barking Spiders'. When DSs were little usually shouted at the top of their lungs followed by much 'stomping' to 'get them before they get away'.

I remember being in a cubicle once and a little girl was obviously with her mum in the one beside us.

"So, Mummy, what colour is the door?"
"Blue, darling."
"Good job mummy! You've just won a......NEW KITCHEN!"

I keep expecting hear that voice on daytime game shows.

I can recall a cafe loo - opened djrectly off the cafe, no little lobby or anything. DS "went" first and then I asked him to wait while I did. "Thats's disgusting" was quickly followed by his usual conversation which went along the lines of you don't have a willy, what do you have, can I have a look? He isn't quiet. Then he started fiddling with the door.....
Judging by the grins when we got out, everyone in the cafe had heard

I feel your pain, SmasleyHop. My DS is a bugger for loudly narrating what is going on - 'Are you doing a BIG POO, Mummy? I want to see your BIG Poo! Hahaha you just did a BIG WEE! Why you not got a willy Mummy?' etc.

That's when he's not trying to open the door so that everyone else can see whether I am doing a BIG POO or a BIG WEE [blush}. I have to try and hold the door shut whilst I simultaneously try to sit down and mutter threats at him...

I just spluttered my cup of tea everywhere at 'pony tail' - that's so funny !

Roomba the pony tail story is now used for embarrassing teenage DD reminding DD what a cute little poppet she was
At the time it was DH who was mortified. We lingered in the cubicle till we could be sure the coast was clear and the other family had gone!

Read an article recently by male journalist complaining about lack of baby changing facilities in men's toilets. Included a hilarious anecdote about having to take his baby daughter in her infant carrier car seat with him into a cubicle at a service station. While he was doing his thing he noticed baby was stirring and said "hello little sausage, are you waking up?", only to hear the (petrified) gentleman in the next cubicle throw open the door and go running full pelt out of the toilets (no doubt worried about what might appear through the glory hole.)
