Another smell.
“Mom! It smells like wet sheets in here!” Cameron screamed from the bathroom.
What the hell is he talking about? I thought to myself. The only kind of wet sheets he knows about are the ones that he wakes up on in the morning as he once again would have another “accident.”
“Do you mean the wet sheets that you peed on?”
“Yeah!” he hollered.
So I walked into the bathroom, just as Cameron was drying his hands, to see who might have missed the toilet.
“Cameron, I don’t see any pee anywhere.”
“Well, when you stick your head down to the toilet it smells like wet sheets.”
After my initial shudder of the thought of him sticking his head into the toilet, I hesitated to ask the next question, but knew that I had to.
“And was the toilet flushed when you stuck your head near it.”
“No, it wasn’t.”
No wonder it smelled like wet sheets.
Brilliant my 6 year old is…just brilliant.
