A funny quote

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.
