Where you belong

Location: Women's bathroom. Target.

Characters: Eli and his mother

Eli gasps suddenly.

Eli: "Mom! Are we in the GRILLS bathroom?!"

Me: "Yes. We have to go to the girls' bathroom because Mom is a girl."

"I am NOT a GRILL. I DON'T BELONG HERE!!!!!" Eli screams.

(All the ladies in the bathroom are laughing now).

Me: "Eli, next time we will have Daddy take you, ok?"

"I'm a BOY, MOM!!!! NOT a GRILL!"

Got it.

I've been put in my place. Now we all know where we belong.

Yep, Trey realized he was a boy about that age too. I made up all sorts of stories, like the sign meant moms and their kids, but it only worked about a half of one time. Kid was too smart. And men's rooms are gross according to Dad. And Trey would scream bloody murder every time I drug him into the wrong bathroom until I finally, for sake of not drawing attention to every single person in the store, let him go into the men's room. Good luck with the next bathroom excursion!
