Never Doubt His Commitment To Sparkle Motion

We were at Fred Meyer and Cael said, "Uh oh. I peed in my SpongeBob."

This does not mean he actually peed in his underwear. It means he has the urge to pee and if he doesn't find a bathroom shortly, then the yellow cartoon character that adorns his underwear will become a casualty of potty training.

Ryan and Finn were AWOL purchasing a rake, because while "one stop shopping" is great in theory, it's really not practical when you want milk and large, pointy objects to ride in the same cart.

Because I have absolutely no idea how someone is supposed to go to the bathroom with a stocked grocery cart in tow, we ran around the store to the tune of "Hold it! Hold it! Keep holding it!" until, about five minutes later, we managed to locate Ryan and Finn.

Ryan and I swapped charges and the race was on. I watched their heads disappear beyond the checkout stands and turned toward the pasta aisle.

We'd made it to canned fruit when Ryan and Cael returned, Cael hoisted up on his dad's shoulders. They got closer and the giant wet spot down the front of Ryan's shirt was immediately visible.

My first thought was, "Oh no!" and my second was, "Why on Earth would he put Cael on his shoulders if his pants are soaked in pee?"

Allie: Want to go home and I'll come back and finish the shopping?
Ryan: Why?
Allie: Because your neck is wrapped in urine?

And then the big goober busts into a huge grin and says, "GOTCHA!"

He had poured water on the front of his shirt to fake Cael having an accident.

Such a dork. A dork of epic proportions.

Aren't I lucky?
