Being a mom of young children, I have neither bathed nor pooped by myself in about three years and 10 months now. Occasionally I do have the audacity to desire a bath. My girls both have decided I need assistance in this activity. They bring me much needed “toys” to play with while I am soaking and will rub my shoulder with a wash cloth to “help” me.
One of my daughters (who shall remain nameless for her protection) is a notorious bath water drinker. She has been drinking bathwater since her earliest bathing experiences. We have to no avail tried to break her of this habit reminding her that “your sister pees in there.”
This particular day she was using a spoon to drink my bath water while I was relaxing and thoroughly trying to ignore her. Daddy walks in and says, “Are you drinking mom’s bathwater?”
I saw her eyes get wide as all of our admonishments regarding drinking bathwater suddenly sunk in. In a panicked voice she asks, “Mom, did you pee in there.”
“Probably,” I replied.
Pausing for a moment, she shrugs, “Oh well, I’ll drink a little anyway.”
Guess we aren’t breaking this bad habit.

I find it adorable that your little girls bring you toys to play with when you’re bathing. As for drinking the bath water – not quite as adorable, but I’m sure she’ll grow out of it eventually.
And who doesn’t love bath toys?
Kids!! ……………… Love all you will they will be what they will be !! ❤
I have heard that pee is sterile! Not sure if that’s the truth or not, but I have never heard of a pandemic (spelling) caused by drinking pee either! One day she WILL think it’s gross, I know because my teenage daughters thought everything I did was gross!!
