Jack, for better or worse

Last night I told Daryl that I was so impressed with Jack. I said…
Jack came up to me while I was cooking dinner and said “Mom, 6 + 6 + 6 is 18.” I told him that was right and asked how he knew and he said “Because on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ they added 6 + 6 + 5 and that was 17, so 6 + 6 + 6 must equal 18!”.
He’s such a smart little guy. I was really impressed because it wasn’t just adding, it was extrapolating! Isn’t that cool?
Then Daryl said….
Yeah, and he also peed all over the outlet strip by the computer because he was watching Victoria play a game and didn’t want to take a break to go potty. He was standing right over it and peed his pants.
Hmmm. LOL Okay, so sometimes he’s bright! 
At least he didn’t pee in it on purpose.
Maybe THAT’S what they mean when they say someone is too smart for their own good?? Too funny!! But then again…it wasn’t MY outlet strip…so I can laugh. ;o)
My youngest did the same exact stinkin’ thing a few weeks ago while looking at toys in Walgreens. Hasn’t had an accident in like a year! Just stood there and looked at me weird for a couple seconds, then peed in the center of the aisle, right into her shoes. No warning whatsoever. Your the first person I ever told this too. Even my family doesn’t know because I didn’t want anyone to tease her about it. AND I’ll take this opportunity to come clean right now and admit that I was so shocked and so worried about embarassing her that I just grabbed her hand and we LEFT. Yessss. Left the puddle there. Bad, bad, bad, I know, and I hope no one slipped in it and broke a hip. I try not to think about what may have happened, though it haunts me at times. In my defense…it WAS right in the middle of the aisle and it WAS a pretty big puddle so I think anyone would have noticed it. Please let it be so! Very rarely do I pray for some god to hear me. This was one of them. LOL! The funny part is she now keeps referring to Walgreen’s as “Pees”…as in “Mommy can we go to Pees so I can get that Barbie?” I haven’t had the nerve to go back there since just incase they got it on video.
