Autoflusherphobia

Jude: "I scared of flushing."
Kwang: "If you sit down, it won't flush."
Jude: "Red light! Red light! It's blinking! I'm all done, Ah-bbah! We gotta get out of here! We gotta get out of here!"
Kwang: (forcing Jude to sit on the toilet to finish his business) "No Jude, you're NOT done."
Jude: "We gotta get out of here!" (then realizing he's not done & feeling an urge) Oh! More coming..."

Let's all look at this picture of my snuggable, huggable, cute-as-a-buggable Eli and adore him for just a moment because THERE IS NO AUDIO FOR PICTURES OF BABIES WHO CRY WAY TOO MUCH:

My sister-in-law Bonnie called today and somewhere in our convo mentioned that Eli cries like any normal child and is just unfortunate to have an easy-going older brother to be compared with. So sweet of her to try and convince me of that. But really folks, how many parents out there are like my husband-- so confident that they are willing to give $20 to anyone who can hold their child without having him cry for two minutes? One minute? Heck, 10 seconds? We had a lot of takers tonight at a birthday party but no winners. Pretty ridiculous, you think? We haven't even scratched the surface of ridiculous. I'd say Eli PRETTY MUCH INVENTED RIDICULOUS.

I have the same fear too. I don't like those autoflushing toilets either. I can relate.

i love jude's analysis of the toilet that's going to flush...you can just hear the urgency in his voice! as for eli, i just can't imagine a child as cute as him crying ridiculous amounts. and if it is true, his cuteness and his cheeks more than make up for it. heh heh!
