We have a pool at home and my wife and I were suspicious of our 5 year old (at the time) peeing in the pool. No matter how we brought it up he would always deny deny deny while looking you in the eye...
Then I heard about some sort of chlorine additive you can add to a pool that supposedly turns color when it comes into contact with urine so I asked the local pool store and they said no way. But I continued with the idea at supper when we were all seated around the table. I brought it up that I recently added a chemical to the pool that will tell me if someone pees in it. I was thinking that would stop anyone from doing it anymore but that was it.
However my youngest in a shaky voice looks at me with his big brown eyes and says: "Dad, I've peed in the pool (long pause) lots of times." Obviously he thought the additive would tell me who HAS peed in the pool....
My wife and I both almost spit our food out we were so caught off guard.........
Priceless moment...
Great story.
I have a friend who was helping babysit a 2 year old girl and they were playing hide and seek. They were hiding in the closet with the girl on my friend's lap and my friend feels a growing warm spot on her leg. Realizing what it was, she asks "Do you need to go to the bathroom?" The little girl replies, quite calmly and truthfully, "No."
