How to Get New Clothes at Target
1) Be a three-year-old with a mommy who has to be somewhere in ten minutes.
2) Tee-tee on the floor.
Yep, we were in the toy section today when Jenna said, "I have to go tee-tee. Oh, no, I don't." That's when I saw the yellow puddle forming near her Strawberry Shortcake tennis shoes. So I went to one of those red phones and paged a Target associate to meet me. A guy who couldn't have been older than 18 walked up. "I'm afraid my daughter had an accident and I just didn't want anyone to slip in it." He asked, "Is it a spill?" I answered, "You could call it that." His eyes got very wide. I could tell he's not used to cleaning up other people's bodily fluids. I apologized and herded Jenna over to get her some pants, socks and panties so we could do a quick change in the bathroom before picking up Julia from school.
As aggravated as I was, it got me thinking. I imagined this conversation:
Chad: Where did you get that outfit?
Me: At Target today. I had to. I peed on myself.
Hmmm...this could be promising. Thanks, Jen!

Ha!
So is the look on Jenna's face in that photo the same face she gave you when she said, "Oh, no I don't"? Because I don't think that will be the look 20-something-year-old Jenna will have when she reads this post!
Great story!

haha that has totally happened to me before. Aurora has been out of diapers and in big girl panties for a good year now. She's had 3 accidents since then...once when you live in a house with 9 people, the bathroom can be in use for a while, and she couldn't hold it anymore. 2nd because she was getting out of bed to go and just didn't make it, and 3 was the worst, she went #2 at Target. Yeah, pretty much sick! I pretty much had to bathe her in the bathroom!

I've got to tell you that the look on Jenna's face reminds me so much of a three year old's face that I knew thiry-something years ago. The likeness is uncanny.
Just remember that "what goes around comes around."

Deana,
This post was hilarious. You may remember me from Kadesh 2005. I remembered you saying you blog, and here I am discovering it. Hope all is well!
