His Very Own Cardboard Urinal

My MIL received some flowers from my FIL for their anniversary.  Diego took the box they were delivered in and in all seriousness , cut a hole in the side, stood it on end, and pronounced that it was "a potty for him to go pee-pee in the night to put in his very own room."

We all laughed at this, telling him sorry, but he couldn't do that.  He was not amused.  He wasn't kidding.

"When will I EVER get to have my own toilet in my own room?  Don't tell me I have to wait until I'm a GROWN UP!"

Give him a pail and tell him he can use and and also empty and clean it, like a grown up.

Maybe he could cover it with porcelain veneer? Would that work, Dad?

When you said he cut a hole in the side of the box, I was really worried...it sounded too Andy Sandburg/Justin Timberlake to be going anywhere innocent.

"One: cute a hole in the box"

This reminds me of being pregnant and having to clilmb in the backseat of my care to pee in a cup. COULD NOT wait for the next gas station! Go Diego!

Teacher Tom said...

Diego's right and you're wrong. The world should be moving toward toilets in all bedrooms. You are fighting against the tide of history and Diego is in the vanguard.

Hey, I had to wait till I was 40 to get my own toilet...
what a little entrepreneur! (hope I spelled that right)

Farmers Wife said...

Well at least he's being creative.

Beth said...

Obviously, Diego is mistreated. :)

Cheri @ Blog This Mom!® said...

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

No toilet in his room!

That is not a good goal.

If there is a toilet in your room you're in prison.

Love Diego!

I like the way he thinks!!!

Busy Bee Suz said...

I love him. I say get him a porta potty installed next to his bed. The smell will turn him from this thought for a while.

diamond dave said...

Nobody ever told him you don't pee in the same room you sleep? I do like the chamberpot idea though, he'll lose interest after cleaning it a few times.

Katrine said...

awww, come on Dad, give the kid a break and get him a bucket!

Grandma J said...

Out of the mouth of babes!

Fragrant Liar said...

I completely understand Diego's feelings. I was thrilled to get my own bathroom and have insisted on one ever since. Alas, I had to wait till I was a grownup too. Guess the kid's gotta pay his dues, huh?

Martha said...

Sorry Diego, you get your own apartment then you own potty.

Grand Pooba said...

Hahaha!

Men.
