When you drop your kid off at Fred Meyer Playland and he says he doesn't need to go to the bathroom first, he is lying. He needs to go to the bathroom. He will only tell the attendant that he needs to go as the urine is running down his leg, into his socks and shoes and onto the playland carpet. Not only did I learn not to trust a five-year-old's judgement on whether he has to go potty or not, I also learned that when your kid pees on the carpet, they have to shut down shop and shampoo the carpet. Your welcome, other moms who were hoping to drop their kids off at the playland for some free childcare. Better luck next time, my kid just peed in there.
