A MK Confession...a little long...but here it goes...

[Mercy]

Hi, loved your story!!

I do have to say though, I am really anal about my kids when they need to go to the potty. I hate it when my DH won't stop when we are taking a long drive, the kids need to go, and he keeps saying "just a couple of more exits"! It makes me crazy.

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!!

Ha ha ha, even dh laughed his head off when I read this to him.

I say, serves him right for snatching.

That is the funniest story!

Last February on our first trip to Disneyland, my DW, 3yoDS, and I scurried towards Fantasyland upon park opening. I kept asking my DS, "Do you have to go the bathroom?" Of course he didn't, until we finally got into the queue for Peter Pan, where he began screaming that he had to go! Someone in front of us around the next bend commented how this kind of situation always seems to happen and that if we got off line we'd probably have over a 60 minute wait when we came back. I stayed in line to ride solo while my DW and DS raced backwards through the line. With Disneyland in its current state, the closest restroom was in Frontierland. My wife tried to rush him over there, but much to her chagrin it was too late!!! Just past Snow White, my son stopped, dropped, and watered the plants. I watched the entire thing unfold and was mortified! Nobody saw it since it was so early and nobody said anything. Dw & DS returned to the line and rejoined me right before boarding. Just as were unloading, we saw the previously mentioned person and he commented that our DS must have changed his mind. We laughed and agreed half-heartedly. We were truly embarrassed as we felt like he was relieving himself on sacred ground!! BTW, this thread is very cleansing for the bladder and soul!

This was tooooo funnnnny!!!!! I applaude your quick thinking. I hate it when people go around taking things that someone may come back for or sat down. I doubt he will ever do that again.

OMG!!!!!

Way to funny and wonderfully told!!! Having boys we used "pee cups" allot in traveling. Our "pee story" takes life to a whole new dimension. Needless to say, ever since our "incident", IF Mom allows a "pee cup" to be used, we keep VERY good track of it, keep it away from other peoples sodas, and dispose of it ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For your forgiveness! I love to tell this story because it is just too funny...but am apprehensive to do so to those who might look at me like I am a horrible mother...so glad to know that there are those of you who share my sense of humor and who can forgive a transgression!

 

[FatCow]

you can get popcorn refills?

 

[dkrause716]

Just tooooo funny! You know what they say about paybacks! That guy sure got his Don't worry, we've all had those little emergencies. We used to carry (and use) Ziploc sandwich bags for my DS when he just potty trained. Used one on a speed boat once while he stood between my DH and I!
Thanks for the great story!

EEEEWWWWWW

FatCow, I am really not sure about the refills on the popcorn...I know that on that same trip we had visited US and IOA and they did offer a free refill on the popcorn tubs and the souvenir cups...not sure at all about WDW, though. We had visited US/IOA first and were psyched about the free refills...only to find that most of their popcorn carts were closed. Our family must have some luck with souvenir tubs of popcorn...our joke before the Spectro night was that we were the suckers who would look all over a park for a refill while the US/IOA staff hid behind the bushes laughing! "Popcorn? Popcorn? Where is the popcorn?"
So, we never even bothered to ask about refills at WDW.
Does anyone else know the answer to his question?

Serves him right for being such a cheap skate.

Too funny, you made me laugh

 

[disneymom3]

This reminds me of the Refillable mug debate over on the budget board. You never do know where those cups have been, huh? Too funny!!!!

 

[Nickimouse]

Your story has made my day!

 

[jann1033]

this reminds me of the old refillable ebay mug thread awhile ago.... yet another use for the many items listed there ! hope the thief did not think it was mountain dew when he opened the bucket

sorry disneymom3...hadn't read your very profound comment before I posted!

 

[aesalsa]

That's hilarious. . .thanks for the laugh. And you are forgiven !

Wouldn't the man have felt the sloshing around and realize it wasn't popcorn?

This reminds me of the classic urban legend:
THE STOLEN SPECIMEN
A patient has been asked to save her urine for 24 hours and bring it into the doctors office for examination. The largest container available for the specimen is an empty whisky bottle. The patient accumulates the specimen in the bottle and sets out for the doctors office. The bottle is put in a brown paper bag and placed on the back seat of the car. On the way to the office, the patient makes a stop at a store, and upon returning finds the full whiskey bottle stolen.
