You all know what it is like the be in a public bathroom stall (at a restuarant in our case) and overhear little kids talking to their mommy or daddy, right? I'm sure it goes something like this:
Thomas: [as he is peeing] Mom, where does the pee & poop go once you flush the toilet?
Me: [a little antsy because I have to go to the bathroom too] It goes down the pipes.
Thomas: Well, when you flush and it does go down the pipes, where do the pipes go?
Me: The pipes run underneath the ground and then they run out to... well, they just run out to the sewage area.
Thomas: What is sewage Mom?
Me: [I'm starting to do the potty dance & I'm slightly irritated & amuzed at the same time] Waste. Yucky stuff. Where the pee & poop go.
Thomas: Sooooooo, when the pee & poop go down the pipes, do they separate into two different pipes? You know... one for the pee & one for the poop?
Me: Thomas, seriously - I have to go to the bathroom. Can you please hurry up?
Thomas: But mom... is it one pipe or two pipes?
Me: [just about ready to explore] Aughhh, I'm pretty sure it is just one. Are you done yet?
Thomas: Yep! You're up Mom. Are you going pee or poop, Mom?
Me: [no response]
I'm wondering how hard the other four ladies in the bathroom were laughing when they had to overhear that mother/son conversation? You gotta love him.
