Embarrasing story from last weekend

While camping this past weekend, Eric and Elise spent most of the 95+ degree Saturday afternoon swimming in the lake at the campground. Chloe and I walked down to the "beach" area after our attempt to get her to nap. (Thank goodness for A/C in the camper!) Anyway, the lake was really shallow throughout the beach area and a number of people had drug reclining lawn chairs (I know there's a word for those, but I can't think of it) out into the water.

So Elise is walking around playing in the shallow water with her life jacket on. Suddenly Elise yells to me (up on the shore, holding Chloe), "Mom, I'm gonna pee in the water!" and promptly squats down next to a woman in a lawn chair. 2 seconds later, she yells in an equally loud voice, "I peed, Mom!" Part of me wanted to crawl in a hole and the other part of me thought it was kind of funny. I guess I spend too much time around kids! For the record, I know that woman realized what was going on, but she didn't even budge. I think I would have moved if some kid said they were peeing right next to me. Oh well.

That's great. I can't believe the woman didn't move.
