Am I Bad?

I have all three kids in school today for three hours--and I'm sneaking off to the Antique gallery again. Not necessarily to BUY anything, but I just want to see all the old stuff. And perhaps find that antique hockey stick that is eluding me. I might settle for a rowing oar--I found a great old wooden one and I might stencil "USA" on it (Thing Three's bathroom is Sports themed mixed with Americana) so we'll see.

According to my friend Devon, Mercury is still retroactive or something--and shopping time is prime. So I'd better make the most of it! Am I bad???

In other news, Thing Three has developed the embarrassing habit of being very LOUD while he goes number Two in the bathroom.We were at Carraba's the other night, and he "had to go" (right in the middle of dinner) and so we went into the women's bathroom and I stood outside his stall door, embarrassed while he grunted and groaned like there was no tomorrow.

I kept saying "don't be so loud!" but he said he had to.
And then of course once it's all out he has to make comments about it. My personal favorite was when he announced (very loudly) in the bathroom at California Pizza Kitchen that his poop "looked like the Number Eight."

Argh--kids. You gotta love 'em.
