Peeing in public

I'm not talking about peeing in public restrooms necessarily, I'm talking about peeing in public - for all to see. If you are reading this and you know my kids, you already have a visual picture in your mind. (Go ahead and giggle, it's ok). If you are just completely appalled that people allow their children to pee anywhere but a toilet, you should go ahead and move onto reading something else....for me, I have 3 kids that constantly need to pee (and A-Dog is not one of them) - so sometimes, you have to bend some rules of society in order to survive!

Where we live, we capitalize on using the back yard as frequently as possible. Boys and girl. None (most) of our neighbors can see (not really anyway) and frankly, I'm pretty sure the little boy next door does it too!  We have saved at least $5 on water usage, perhaps more!  Not bad in this economy!

However, sometimes this can backfire. Agent P has dropped his drawers and provided entertainment more than once. It's now a standing joke at my cousin's house. But, I HAVE been working with him and attempting to curb his desire to just drop and go.  I mean, he does start kindergarten in 6 weeks. He should be housebroken by then right?

Well unfortunately, about a month ago I learned I had a wee bit more work to do (get it? WEE??).

We were at the baseball field for something - I don't think it was a game, I just can't remember it was so traumatizing. I do know it was A-Dog, Agent P and me. There was a game  or 2 going on - and of course I knew at least 75% of the people in attendance and throughtout the entire complex. I looked over, saw some kid's tush with his shorts at his ankles peeing in the rocks - right behind the scoring table, 2 feet from the drinking fountain. Then realized I recognized that tush.

Hindsight dictates I should have remained silent and acted as tho I had NO CLUE whose kid that was. Sadly, my reaction was to loudly say "NNNOOOOO". That unfortunate action prompted many, many people to look around to see what was so urgent that I would yell. Then of course, everyone saw.

I tried to stop him before he started the act. I failed.

I know what I will be doing the next 6 weeks... :- ) Wasting water!
