I didn't pay attention to the title & thought they had hauled sand into the bathroom & made a beach in there so they could swim in the bathtub. Until, of course, I got toward the end and saw they only cleaned themselves up in the bathroom. So it could have been worse, right?Liz H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-38597569731401724912010-04-11T21:49:54.060-04:002010-04-11T21:49:54.060-04:00Heh Heh Heh.

My best friend does it all the time, except she is usually talking to her guinea pigs. That's much more boring since all guinea pigs do is poop, eat, bite each other, and bite her. OH yes, and smell bad.

When my then 4yr old daughter and niece were quietly playing, my niece ran past me stating she had to hurry and put her bathing suit on( it was winter, in Chgo) and I was getting ready to have a family party in 1 hour. Luckily I heard what she actually was saying as she ran past me.
