….. like why it is entertaining and fun for a boy to see what it’s like to pee in an air conditioning vent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yesterday I awoke to a smell that reminded me of the day I went to the state fair and had to use the port-a-potty and the blue juice down below me in the pot was noxious enough for me to get dizzy… I wandered into the bathroom, nose hard at work, scooped up the throw rugs and started spraying my little heart out.\u00a0 Not even the clorox could get the smell to subside.\u00a0 I mopped.\u00a0 I wiped.\u00a0 I maniacally stuck my nose far closer to the toilet than I should have.\u00a0 But then, I realized the smell was leading me toward the air vent.\u00a0 But why<\/em>?\u00a0 That would be silly.\u00a0 There is no way there could be urine in the air<\/em> vent<\/em>.\u00a0 I mean, come on!\u00a0 That would be just wrong.<\/p>\n So, I left my husband a note and told him that since it was more than likely because of the aimless boys in the house that it was up to him and the other fella in the house to find it and take care of it while I was at work.\u00a0 Indeed.\u00a0 I came home to my husband’s long and confused face.\u00a0 “So, apparently, the boy peed straight into the air vent.”\u00a0 Before I could get “what the hell???” out of my mouth he was quasi-defending the boy as if this were some sort of rite of passage for all six year olds.\u00a0 Huh?\u00a0 “But, husband of mine, why would he want to pee in the air vent?” – silence.\u00a0 More silence.\u00a0 “I guess he was just wondering if he could\u00a0– I once peed in a potted plant in our kitchen.\u00a0 I think I was\u00a0seven though.”\u00a0 Ummmm.\u00a0 Ok.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 Is the “though” in that statement some sort of recognition that our son is advanced<\/em><\/strong> for doing this at a mere six years old???\u00a0 Having a son has thrown me for a loop on several occasions but this takes the cake.<\/p>\n Now I am on a hunt for some home remedy to dilute the urine that apparently is lurking in my bathroom air vent – no amount of air freshener is going to suffice.\u00a0 Anybody?
