Funny for me, but Gross for Steve...

2006
Warning: This story is gross, but it was very funny too....

Every parent has horror stories about potty training,. That rocky initiation to parenthood that you never imagined when your sweet baby first entered the world. I hope you don't mind, but I love to tell those stories. It turns temporary trauma into legendary laughs...

We were on a family vacation in California and visited Newport Beach. We packed up and left late in the evening to go visit Grandma and Grandpa. We didn't have very good directions because we thought we knew the way, but of course we got confused in the dark and were driving around totally lost for a while. We were so lost we accidentally turned into a parking lot, which we thought was going to be the road home. We escaped the parking lot and were in the middle of three lanes of traffic when our 3 1/2 year old son needed to pee. We didn't know where we were, we didn't want to stop, so Steve just grabbed an empty water jug and set him up to go. It all went well until Steve asked if he was all done, and then removed the jug. Guess what, he wasn't. Poor Steve, he got sprayed full in the face, in the mouth, the whole works. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard. You should have seen the look of horror on his face! He just yelled AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It didn't taste good. Steve wasn't happy, but he couldn't help laughing in disbelief at the ridiculousness of the situation. There was nothing to do but keep driving. We eventually found our way to Covina, and Steve took a shower... :)
