The Backyard Is NOT Our Toilet!

I need to have a "quotable mom" label on my blog. I say the funniest things to my children. Well I think they're funny.  Gems like, "No Bryce-5 pieces of bacon is enough!" or another fave, "Beatings to commence in 5,4,3,2, RUN!". Good mom stuff.

Today's quotable mom gem is my title. I actually used those words, shouted at my middle boy. After watching him run from the living room, out the back door and into our yard, dropping trou while frantically leaping towards our shed, I realized what he was up to, and it just came out of my mouth.

Why did he run through the house and try to go outside? Well, it seems that "somebody" (probably another boy) got the downstairs toilet stopped up, the upstairs bathroom was in use and rather than wait he thought running outside was a better option than WAITING.

No. The backyard is not our toilet, I informed him.
