oops

Yesterday we had a little plumbing problem that turned into a bigger plumbing problem and we had to use the potty at the neighbor's house for most of the afternoon. My neighbor Ann (names have been changed) said we could come over as often as we needed to. I took Brenna over and Ann wasn't home but her son Dan let us in. After Brenna finished, I decided I might as well go too. While I was in the bathroom, Ann came home and immediately started yelling at Dan. I gather that he was watching TV when he should have been getting ready for Karate. Ann had no idea I was there, and she was totally getting Dan in tons of trouble. I had no idea what to do. I sort of just stood there washing my hands for a really long time. Ann heard the water running and opened the bathroom door. (I really had thought I locked it.) Can we say awkward? I just smiled and said hi and acted like nothing at all had happened. And as soon as I got inside my own house I laughed like crazy. The moral of this story is: Make sure you don't have guests before you start screaming. Or: Use the potty at the neighbor's with the well-behaved children. Or: Get dressed for Karate.
