Number 2

"Can I go to the bathroom?"

Again and again they ask me.

Say "no" and risk a parent complaining about child abuse or some other such nonsense. Or maybe take a seat in a warm, moist chair.

Say "yes" and they won't stay in the room!

Today....
Special friend: "Can I go to the bathroom?"
Me: "Did you go to the bathroom at lunch recess?"
Special friend: "No."
Me: "You need to start using the bathroom at lunch recess, even if you don't think that you have to."
Special friend: "But I have to go number 2!! I always have to go number 2 right after lunch! What choice do I have?!"

Fair point my special friend. NEVER say no to a dubbie. 

Third grade...

Year number 2 is off to a good start. Time has flown by and Back to School Night is OVER! I seemed to have passed the grand inquisition.. for now at least.

Very sweet class this year. A few special treats thrown in of course. 

A favorite moment with an especially special someone,

Me: "Oh! What are you doing there?"

Special friend: "What?? (While holding onto my weenus, yes my weenus, and rubbing it between his fingers)."

Me: "Well, what's going on with my arm?"

Special friend: "Oh yes. That is a habit of mine. I am sorry, but I have this habit." 

OK....
