This story is years old. My sister Jen used to bug me to write it down and submit it into Reader's Digest as one of their humor things but I never have. Here's my attempt at writing it down...
While traveling with my barely four year-old son, Seth, and my one year old baby, we stopped for a potty break in the airport bathroom. Seth was used to his little toilet seat and was a firm believer in the sit down method (much to the chagrin of his father) and large toilets scared him. I helped him balance on the seat and when he was through, had a turn in the stall myself. When he saw me on the toilet, he said loudly and with great relief, "Mommy, you don't have to worry about falling through! You have a big bottom!"
I never really thought about the upside.

Always a favorite. I've shared that story several times myself :)
You know how I feel about Seth. He is such a great kid! And thank goodness he hasn't tried Bud Light.
I still totally think you could win $50 for submitting it to some parenting magazine. It's a classic!
Precious! If only I could stay this positive about body image. I'm going to remember that one when my jeans won't zip!
I have had some great laughs this morning at your family's expense...LOL!
That sounds just like some lame things my kids would say too.
I have a funny story but I don't know if I should say it publicly. What is your email addy Lucy, I will email it to you. :P
I think all three of my potty trained kids have told me that a time or two. Gotta love kids and their bluntness eh?
Very funny!! I have had many a humilating comment shared by my kids from a bathroom stall in a crowded restroom. So classic!
I love your new blog layout! Cute family picture.
Funny!!!! that is a great story.
