You might want to leave now.

Before school this morning I was rushing the girls to get them ready in time (I was planning on keeping them home today, they both begged to go). Natalie was, as usual, taking about thirty minutes to eat half of a TINY bowl of cereal, she was still in her jammies. Rachel was completely ready. Rachel went to the bathroom to put on lip gloss and make faces at herself in the mirror (a habit she's enjoying more and more). When Nattie was FINALLY finished with her cereal I told her to come over and I'd hurry and dress her and fix her hair. Her response: "Mom, I really need to go poop first." Oh my STARS!!! Anyone even slightly familiar with Natalie's routine knows this involves a MINIMUM of 10 minutes in the bathroom, singing LOUDLY. She likes to make up random songs to go along with her bowel movements. I was frustrated by her un-timely need to "go poop." They were the ones who wanted to go to school after all, why did I need to suffer trying to get them there on time? I can't in good conscience tell her she can't use the bathroom, so I let her go. She walked up the stairs and opened the door, then I heard her say to Rachel "You might want to leave now." I forgot about getting them to school on time, as this would just stress me out and turn me into a "Monster Mom." Besides, even if they did end up being late (which they didn't), it was totally worth it to hear that. :D
