Hockey starts at 12:15 and runs till 12:45. Afterwards Tucker plays the racing game 4 times. Then we watch hockey and eat a PBJ. Sometimes, after our lunch routine we go back and skate for all skate.
So, somewhere around 3pm I tell Tucker I need a break and need to use the ladies room. He didn’t want to come with me, he wants to skate.
Well, okay, he can stay on the ice and skate, I reason. He knows where the bathrooms are and I don’t have to be a helicopter parent. There’s three coaches he knows on the rink and a bunch of parents. So, okay.
The rule is he has to stay on the rink. No leaving. Tucker starts to argue that he’ll only come get me if he’s hungry and I stand firm, no leaving the ice. (He has run off on me more than once.). Tucker decides to leave with me.
Half way to the bathroom Tucker (gears still turning) asks – Mom, do you have to go poopie or pee pee? I have to pee. Oh, that’s not so bad!
And he runs off to the rink.
I wasn’t crazy about blogging this but Ben thought we’d want to remember later. And when it’s later I hope we still think it’s funny because this kid seriously takes the longest poops ever.
