So. Like, yesterday… the kids and I headed over to Seattle for the evening. My hub’s business had their little launch party – MINDBLOOM…. maybeyou’veheardofit. Ifnotyouwill*ahem*. And also *fourglassesofwine-whoop!*
BEFORE the party, the kids and I met Paul for dinner… over there at the Taco del Mar right there in the Pioneer Square.
I love Taco del Mar, btw… *gives TdM the international sign for “call me”*
I do not, however love the city drunks. More specifically, the city drunks that come to use the Taco del Mar toilet. Even more specifically, the “city drunk” whose spatial reasoning has been SO COMPLETELY compromised… that I wonder why didn’t he just go pee on a brick wall in an alley like the guy we saw as we passed an alley on our walk to the restaurant… ? Huh?
Dear Angry Drunk Guy,
Why must you pee ON and AROUND and probably ABOVE the toilet, but most assuredly not IN le toilet? Do you know what that meant for ME? It meant I had to HOLD IT. For. BLOCKS.
Yes, the guy was angry too. His girlfriend or friend that was with him totally blew him off. He went in the bathroom and I heard her mutter (with her own clear Solo cup of drunk juice splashing out), “He’s drunk. I’m outta here.” This did not make Drunk Guy happy, thus my rename – Angry Drunk Guy.
My kids learned so much last night.
Long story not as long as it could be… I made it to the office, to a cleaner bathroom and took along Lucy. My VERY encouraging 4 year old. Earlier that evening I told her it was IMPERATIVE that she not pee her pants.
I brought no back-up.
“Lucy… you CANNNOT have an accident. We have no clothes for you to change into. It is rainiy and very cold outside, so it will be a long-cold walk back to the ferrry if you have an accident. No accident. NO. Clothes.”
Point made.
So, we finally get to the office after I made it very clear that Mommy needed to go BAD. Hithertofore*tinkletinkle*… sweetrelief…
This was when Lucy squealed,
“GOOD JOB MOMMA!!! I’M GLAD YOU MADE IT CUZ WE DIDNENT BRING ANY EXTRA CLOTHES FOR YOU!”
It’s true. That would have been a long, cold walk back to the ferry, for sure ;)

ROFLMAO! I LOVE LUCY! (That’s why you chose that name, isn’t it? Or is she just living up to it?)
Lucy cracks me up. Congrats to Paul on the launch! Good stuff. The twittering birds on his site are fabulous!
