Attention Children - The Bathroom Door is Closed!
· Please do not stand here and talk, whine, or ask questions.
· Wait until I get out.
· Yes, it is locked. I want it that way. It is not broken, and I
am not trapped.
· I know I have left it unlocked, and even open at times, since
you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might
occur while I was in there, but it’s been 10 years and I want
some PRIVACY.
· Do not ask me how long I will be. I will come out when I am
done.
· Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door.
· Do not go running back to the phone yelling “She’s in the
BATHROOM!”
· Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.
· Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle
them. This was funny when you were two.
· Do not slide pennies, LEGOs, or notes under the door. Even when
you were two this got a little tiresome.
· If you have followed me down the hall talking, and are still
talking as you face this closed door, please turn around, walk
away, and wait for me in another room. I will be glad to listen
to you when I am done.
· And yes, I still love you.
