All of your basin belong to us.

When the kids were little, all I had to do was THINK about the telephone or the bathroom, and they were all over me.

Now they’re grown and gone, and the bathroom and the telephone miss them as much as I do.

I know, because all I have to do is pick up the phone and I have to go to the bathroom.

And all I have to do is step inside the bathroom and the phone rings.

The logical thing, of course, would be to just carry the phone to the bathroom with me, every time.

Hahaha, did I just say “logical?” How amusing. . . . .

Besides, what if it rang in there before I could wash my hands? Ewwwwww.

It’s usually my kids calling me. That’s how I know they’re behind this whole conspiracy of phone-induced poop- enhancment.

Sometimes, though, you do get a little of it back while you’re still alive to see it.

My daughter has to pee every time the phone rings.

We are a Pavlovian Toiletry family.

  1. I always get stuck in the bathroom, expecting a call – running to the phone with my pants down and getting a telemarketer on the other end.

    *I read this post the other day, but the comments weren’t working. Also, I wanted to tell you that in firefox your side bar breaks down really really bad. I took a screen shot if you want to see it – just send me an email.

  3. lol – for me it’s when I get into the shower. I can be home alone all day and the phone doesn’t ring, but if I get in the shower for 5 minutes you can bet your ass that it will.

  5. That is SO true! My kids ignore me completely unless I am sitting on the throne…or talking on the phone. Sorry – didn’t mean for that to rhyme and sound corny.

    Also sorry for the annonymous comment. I HATE that Blogger won’t let you sign in when coming from BE. Weird.

  7. Yeah, we have the ‘toilet alarm’ as I call it. I’m sitting there for hours, but the moment I settle on ‘the throne’ all of a sudden there are countless items that my daughter feels demands my attention (no one else’s, only I can solve these huge problems). The phone doesn’t appear to be THAT big of a problem around here, however as to the hands-washing problem; that is why they made spray Lysol and things like baby wipes.

  9. at my house there is a connection between the moment my family see’s me, and their stomach. They immedately become hungry. Somehow, I visually remind people they are hungry!

  11. See, I have to pee really badly every single time I get close to walking in the front door of my house. Every. Single. Time. Even if I’d just taken care of business 10 minutes earlier at the restroom, for example.

    Once home? I’m a flippin’ camel.

  13. Catchy post title. Reminds me of a song based on an old Japanese video game. “All Your Bass Belongs To Us”. Something like that. Did that song ispire the choice of your title by any chance? Just curious. By the way, good blog, keep it up.
