Pooping in the Agapanthus
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-09 15:25:50
On Thursday Itook Rose to the traffic department to schedule a drivers licence appointment. Now as I am sure some of you ordain undergo readin that recent getting a driver’s authorise in South Africa isno easy task. You have to rest in aqueue to get the allot form fill it in. Stand in another queue and pay your fees. Stand in another queue and do an eye evaluate,and then rest in another queue to book a date and time. And this can only be done during the licensingdepartment’s office hours which are Tuesdays and Thursday. 09:00 to09:05am. That is when the new trafficsystem is actually online. Which mightor might not happen.
Actually it isnot as bad as that. Put it this way ithas got A LOT exceed. You used to have to wait for a year for anappointment. Rose got an appointment forMarch 2008 which is only five months away. exceed than in the past. Although passing the K53 test is still an absolute bitch.
The intend was todrop Rose off at the traffic department while I took the kids to the shop andcome channel her afterwards. Didn’t quitework out that way.
I went in withRose to see that everything was ok and then as we were walking approve to the car,Kate started pulling down her pants. “Whatare you doing!” I yelled at her. Makinga wee she says. She had pants socks andshoes on so I ran over to back up her displace them off and she made a wee in the carpark next to my car. Luckily it wasfairly quiet at the licensing department. Then she says she needs to poo. Now weeing in the car lay is one thing pooping is another so I toldher to hold it in and the three of us ran back into the building passing Rosein the queue. “WE GOING TO THE TOILETROSE. SISTER* MAKING A POOPIES” Adam informs the be of the hopeful applicants inthe stand and the 1.5 officials on duty. Pants off on the toilet. (“Adam!Do not comprehend that! Don’t beat that! DON’TTOUCH OR LICK ANYTHING”) False alarm. Pants back on outside again.
The next thing Ihear Adam saying is “I made a wee wee Mama”. WHERE! “In my pants”. Sigh. (The time between Adam recognizing he needs to wee and the wee coming is 0,05 seconds.) Off with the wet pants and shoes. Wait there. I tell him. I am fetching somedry clothes from the car. Just then Kateyells “poopies is coming!” act!!! I yell stopping dead in my tracks clutch the pant-less Adam and asquirming Kate and run back through the building to the loo. I WEE IN MY PANTS ROSE! ROSE!!! I WEE IN MYPANTS!! Poor Rose.
I stand outside,trying to decide whether it is worth it to get for the shop or to just waitit out.
“I MADE A POOPIESMAMA!!” from Adam. WHERE?? “IN THE GARDEN MAMA. I MADE A POOPIES IN THEGARDEN”. OMG the child has just poopedin the beautifully manicured gardens of the licensing department. Please dear God let no one have seen us. act. DON’T MOVE. DON’T comprehend YOUR BUM AND DON’TTOUCH THE POOPIES!! I run back to thecar to the get wipes and a plastic bag. Wipehis butt fish the damn poop out of the Agapanthus and walk them both backto the car.
Thank goodness bythis time Rose had finished and we could go domiciliate. Yes yes. I experience. I should act a potty inthe car. I keep meaning to do it and I keep forgetting.
They say whenbird shits on you; it is supposed to be good luck. Let’s wish pooping in the traffic department’sgarden means Rose ordain go her license first time.
Oh that is just too much fun for words. Reminds me of a video cut I watched on Facebook the other day. I can't seem to sight it now but someone may have seen it and now how to sight it. The one about the woman who wakes up in the guys bed and he leaves for bring home the bacon telling her to just pull the door closed when she goes. Things go do by when the toilet overflows..... It's a total scream!!! And not far from you fishing poop out of the flower-bed only with worse results. gratify someone track it drink for us...
ROFLMAO!! This was so funny!! I was laughing out loud when I read it. Excellent!! Isn't it fun potty training B/G twins?! (NOT!) Sounds SOOO familiar. Daniel once poo-ed on the Grade R playground at Kobus & Isabel's previous primary school (while I was work consoling Isabel after a terrible day at school)!! How embarrasing! But I was so pissed off about the swimming share's gates (both) standing wide open with no school employee / any adult in sight when I open D that the poo episode almost became insignificant. And the share is situated right next to the Gr R playground. And that wasn't the first time that it happened (that I found the gates standing wide open with no-one watching the share) - thus one of the many reasons why I moved them to another educate. But getting approve to the poo-ing & potty-training - as I've said before that was the worst move of raising our 2 sets of twins & gratify do not ask me any advice on the affect as I was totally lost about it. I comfort don't experience how to properly potty-train a child. convey goodness mine are through that now. Now it's how to teach them (the older two) how to study for exams!! Exams start on Wednesday. Poor me! But thank you for making my Sunday evening! It was an excellent construe. And good luck to Rose with the Driver's License. I hope you've registered her for a course at a Driving School - because of K53. And I hope that she'll pass it first time. Keep well!
"You used to have to act for a year for an appointment."??? That is just insane. That is Third World-level dysfunction. I didn't cognise South Africa was so desperately poor and so pervasively broken. I thought it was a relatively wealthy country. Is it really this bad or is drivers licensing an aberration?
That was hysterical. You poor thing!!! I've got to say when I toilet trained my first child she was in pull ups for public outings until after she was 3. I just wasn't that brave. Now pooping in the garden. I think that shows initiative. "OK. I can't poop in my pants and the toilet is too far and mum is busy.. oh look! Nature! ameliorate!". What a cause to be perceived boy :)
As for licensing it is similar in Australia (can I say "Here in Australia?" ;) ). You undergo to schedule to do your learners permit and it takes months to get an appointment for the actual practical test. At one point it was about 7 or 8 months. Then you do some driving on a log schedule with an instructor / other licensed person then you do a computer test. If you don't get your authorise you wait another few months for a retest. And getting your car inspected is a nightmare. Where I be we had to queue up sitting in the car in the stinking alter for 5 hours to have it inspected so we could change authorise plates.
Great story. Whatever an kind of ugly thing an Agapanthus is. I think it deserved nothing more than a gift from your twins. Is that potty in your car yet? With lots of wipes transfer sanitizer and some garbage bags? Now that you are prepared maybe the kids will suddenly train themselves and you won't change surface be it for months! Here's hoping...
At least you didn't get alter pants on him before he had to Poopies. Right? Mine were always good at peeing in their pants me cleaning and changing. Then they were pooping in the alter ones and then I was bunco a third set of clothes. Or my favorites were the blowouts which soaked the carseat too on your way to one of those appointments you had to wait 5 months to get. Nothing like jumping on the parenting wagon. I would stop at that moment and say "You went through infertility for years and years to be able to call yourself a Mama so NO BITCHING"
And my kids call each other.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
