I got something new today that I needed 10 minutes in the bathroom to test out. Alone. Without kids watching. Without cats watching. Without the dog watching. How would I manage? I had to think fast.
"Pay no attention to me," I sang. "I’m just going to clean out the cat boxes!" This made the kids scatter like rice dropped on the kitchen floor, but that made the cats want to come investigate. And any time the cats want to investigate anything, the dog has to come along and watch too.
I kicked the cats out of the bathroom and quickly locked the door. My time was limited, I knew that. Hurriedly, I opened the box and read the instructions. They looked like they were written in French!
Oh, they *were* written in French. I turned the instructions over and started reading again. Okay, you pushed the sides together and inserted. But, how? Fortunately, there was a handy diagram. I tried several times before I got it right, but I finally got it, just as the kids and the cats and the dog started beating on the door.
Yay for Instead!

Ok, that is hilarious! Sometimes I go into the bathroom just to talk on the phone. Of course there is an echo but why is it that the bathroom is the only "private" place we can go? Obviously, you needed to be in the bath for your new gadget but what is the deal? Ahhhh, the perils of motherhood.
