Never Leave Home Without Your Sweater-Vest

We went to the Museum of Ancient History today for school. Actually we just wanted to meet some friends there so we're calling it school. We spent five hours playing in all the exhibits and having a great time. The kids loved it. The only problem we had was that the bathrooms were out in the lobby and with five little kids between us, that's a lot of coming and going. This is one area of life where small children have complete dominion over their parents. With so little control over their daily lives I don't blame them for exercising a bit of it whenever possible. When your darling, sweet faced child says, "I need to go potty." What are you going to say? "No, I've already taken you 3 times in the last half hour." Yeah, right. Try that and let me know how it works out. The other way they will let you know who's boss is to say, "No", when you ask them if they need to go potty. Then two minutes later they will pee their pants. Lucky for you, you're just a tiny bit smarter than your four year old. Not smart enough to prevent the accident but smart enough to bring along your sweater-vest. A charcoal gray vest looks great on a four year old. Especially when she is wearing her black knee-high dress boots. So, the general rule for field trips is, "Dress In Layers".
