Rookie mom mistake of the day: Keep a tee pee on the pee pee

Quit looking at me like that, dog. I am trying to protect you. You’re too sweet to fight back when he yanks, pulls, and chews on you, and I can’t make him understand that your penis isn’t detachable.

All morning long I’ve listened to yelps of protest followed by maniacal baby laughter as my progeny “loved” on his puppy. The dog is either too nice or too stupid to run away, so I thought I was helping earlier when I put the dog in his kennel for a bit while I picked up the house.

It was either him or the baby, and I didn’t think the baby would fit.

Fast forward to after lunch, and I’m wrangling a toddler into diaper-change position on the floor. I pull off the avocado-smeared outfit, slide off the diaper and…I forgot to get a clean one.

I hand the baby a toy to distract him, leap up and snatch a clean diaper out of the basket, and turn on my heel to discover my son has made it clear across the room and has pulled up, naked, on the dog kennel.

I pause for a fraction of a second to admire the cute bare bottom and in that same second realize that the lack of cloth on the bum means that the front is armed and dangerous. In slow motion, I reach out my hand, take one giant step forward, yell out my son’s name in a sing-song voice, as not to startle him…

And that, dear friends, is the story of how my son peed on my dog.

  1. This is js hilarious! Poor Frank. He is so sweet and Sam is so mischevious. I love it. I can see those dimples deepen as his grin widens as Frank hunkers down for the shower of yellow rain.

    • He’s spoiled rotten, and has plenty of places to hide – but, aside from his dumb mom trapping him in the kennel for the unanticipated water torture, he won’t run away from the daily beatings. I finally just put him on the other side of the baby gate upstairs!

  2. Hahaha!

    I think Sebastian managed to pee on all of the cats at one point or another because they’d want to hand out on the dresser next to the changing table when he was getting a diaper change and he’d just… let go and hit one of them.

Thanks for commenting, even if Wordpress is mean and makes you provide a DNA sample in order to do so. You've made my day. Really.
