Don't Knock It Till You've Tried It....

Ha! Ha! So how do you know when you have reentered our lovely city here in China? When you see small children squatting and taking a poo on the sidewalk. Only this time it was my small chile. Yes, Gracie christened the airport sidewalk out by the taxi stand on our return to Wave City last weekend. She kept telling us she had to go, but since she had actually gone a few hours earlier we didn't think it was an emergency and she agreed she could hold it. Our driver, who we told to bring 2 cars, which means vans - because as far as we knew that was all he had, and we told him we had 16 pieced of luggage, brought a van and a small car. So we waited about 30 minutes while the men arranged and rearranged the luggage to fit in the one van. Gracie had had enough of waiting and announced that she had pooed in her pants. Oh no!

Well, at least it was 2 am and there was noone about so I just went ahead and stripped her down, but before I could get her jeans back up she made it known that she was not finished! There was no where to go, so she just squatted right there on the sidewalk and pooed til her little heart was content, then Mommy poopy scooped it all up with a wipe and threw it away. She was so sweet, apologizing profusely. "So sorry Mommy" I told her it was ok and that I was just thankful we were in China where she could just go on the sidewalk. With a sigh of relief she agreed, "Me too!"
