Laugh Outloud... Just not when it is actually happening...

My cousin wrote this in her blog a little ago and thought it was just
perfect! Since Annmarie has really desired to be a "Big Girl" I have
found this bit of humor to help remember when the "Mommy on Edge" time
comes. I thought Annmarie is the first of the famous four Jones cousin
potty-training line up and the moms might enjoy this! Here it goes:

Dear Mr. Big Guy,

I'm fairly certain there has been a misunderstanding. When I applied for
my job, I was under the impression that the majority of my work would be
in a teaching capacity, but I now find that most of my duties involve
waste management, to which the wet sheets this morning speak.

I was also under the impression that those under my management would
be...well...more manageable. Most of the time they do not seem
interested in achieving the outlined objectives. Again, I think there
must be some kind of misunderstanding here because I am relatively sure
that our four year old trainee has completed the potty portion of the
training program so there should be no reason for him to inexplicably
urinate on the carpet of his bedroom while dressing.

What I am getting at, sir, is that we are drowning in urine here, and I
feel the situation is beyond the scope of my outlined job description,
at least as I understand it. If I failed to read the small print
carefully, which may have happened as I am distracted most of the time
and am regularly functioning with only half of my brain, I would
appreciate an updated adendum clearly stating how said situation can
best be resolved. Your speed in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Despondantly Yours,
Mommy on Edge
