The Sharkansky family confronted its most serious crisis in decades this evening, when two-year-old David took a dump in his bath. Boy, what a mess. It is during such "all four hands" rescue operations that you understand why every child should have two parents.

Posted by: Joel on March 19, 2004 06:26 AMWow...that's happened here, too...fortunately just once in the heir apparent's 2+ years and 800 or so baths. So I guess the odds aren't TOO bad.
I knew one couple whose kids both hit a certain age where it would be a NIGHTLY occurence for THREE MONTHS with each of them.

Out in the country, the bathtub sometimes got a little brother or a dog who'd encountered a skunk at point-blank range. Then you want an unlimited supply of tomato juice.
Posted by: Insufficiently Sensitive on March 19, 2004 11:36 AMSounds like my 4 month old daughter.. she thinks it's incredibly funny to dump in the bathtub, but it's only when she's in the big bathtub with her Mom..
To top that off, she's still being breastfed, and those of you who have breastfed children know what that means.. :)
