We recently took a road trip. We stopped periodically mostly for me to go to the bathroom. I am training for a marathon so hydration is essential even on road trips which makes us stop more frequently. At every stop there would be a conversation like this:
Me: "I am going to stop here to go potty. Who needs to go potty?"
Claire: "Not me"
Sam: "Not me"
Emma: "I'll try. It's better to try each time than to feel guilty."
I am not exactly sure why but this really tickled my funny bone. I mean guilt is a feeling that I really want my kids to understand. I just never imagined it would come in that context, but yet I got what she was saying.
