Just another potty adventure

Went and picked more strawberries with the girls and my mom yesterday. So as we pull in both girls see the porta potty. I don't know about everyone else but my kids are obsessed with the bathroom everywhere we go. There are so many potties to explore. Just one of the many joys of motherhood, helping your toddler hover over a huge variety of toilets and diseases. So the sight of this big orange porta potty just screamed adventure. As soon as I put the van in park the intense urge to go potty hit. The chanting started from the back seat, "potty potty potty! I have to go potty!" "Me too! Me too!" As you can imagine I was thrilled at the fact that I had to take two little girls into a tiny germ infested box. Thankfully my mom came along to pick strawberries with us and stayed at the car with Ellie while we went on our newest potty adventure. We come up to this disgusting cube of feces and I open the door, "wow! How cool!" Umm?! I think not crazy child! They both walk in and I prop the heaviest string loaded door open with my back. This way we don't die of heat exhaustion and air pollution. Lila was first, but let me tell you she was not the first of the day. You get an amazing view when you are leaned over holding a child over the hole that is this toilet. It's a front row seat the the beautiful view and smell. Now it is Kylie's turn I have her proped up in the seat and I'm fighting with Lila to stop touching the urinal that is in there. Why is there a urinal in there? I have no idea. So I reach up to get some hand sanitizer with one hand and I'm holding on to Kylie with the other. As I go to push the despenser a wasp comes bulting out and attached itself to my arm. I of course freak out let go of Kylie and start slapping my arm to try to detach this angry little monster. It gets a few shots in before shouting out the door. Thankfully I had proped the door open. Can you imagine if I had closed and locked the door? That angry wasp would have been trapped in that tiny container with me and my two girls. Also Kylie thankfully had great balance. Which is not a normal characteristic of hers. God was watching out for us and she did not fall down into the hole of death. As my arm began to swell I had so much to be thankful for. This crazy potty experience could have gone so much worse. Thank goodness my mom had Ellie, I proped the door open and Kylie had amazing balance.
