One Upped

Last night the wee child was taking a bath and called me in when it was time to wash her hair. Jokingly, I told her I had to potty and was going to “pee” in her bathwater.

From her supine position floating in the bottom of the tub, she sat up, gave me a sly smile, and said: “That’s okay, Mommy, sometimes when I forget to go potty before my bath, I pee in the tub, too.”

Looking at her face and the glints in her eyes, I was uncertain whether she was teasing me back.

I choose to think she was joking.

Ish.
