Do you ever wish your kids had a ‘mute’ button? September 24, 2007

We were killing time at McDonald’s, when the Captain had to go to the bathroom. Having 3 boys has many benefits, one of them being that when Daddy is with us, I am not on bathroom duty. So, I sat relaxing while they sprinted to the potty.

Reportedly, an EXTREMELY obese man had just “dropped the kids off at the pool,” so to speak, and was washing his hands when my husband and son blew through the door, and were greeted by a horrible stench. “OH MY GOSH, IT STINKS SOOOO BAD IN HERE DADDY!” Announced the Captain at the top of his lungs, much to my husband’s chagrin. “Wow, that is the STINKIEST SMELL I EVER SMELLED, That Is SOOOO Stinky!”

Somehow, between gaging and choking back laughter, my husband was able to successfully hush the Captain, but I did notice that the man changed his order to “To Go” upon returning from the bathroom, though apparently “Already Went” would have been more like it.
