any guesses?

Any guesses what I’m packin’ in my stylish new bag?  If you’ve seen it already know, please keep quiet for a bit and let’s see if anyone else can guess what I’ve stowed away.

I’ll update this post after a few guesses.

Amber had the closest guess.  That’s right, I’m packin’ a toilet!

I ordered a toilet in a bag from Walmart.com and had it shipped site to store. What? Don’t laugh. I think it’s quite the fashionable toilet, as far as purse potties go.

So back story, we were in Walmart a few weeks ago and Caleb did the grab-the-crotch-I-gotta-go signal.  (That’s normal with boys right?  Yeah, sure, of course.  Hmmm.)  So we headed into the bathroom and it was taking forever to…get things goin’.   Apparently the toilet got impatient and the damn automatic flusher flushed on the kid. I’m sure you can imagine the sheer terror on his face. To make matters worse, he was sitting backwards on the pot, so he was looking right down into the jaws of life as it tried to suck him in. Needless to say, he’s terrified of the automatic flushers now and he vowed to cross his legs through the rest of the store and the whole way home that day.  Now I have a solution, hopefully this will last until the fear has subsided.  I’m pretty impressed though.  It just uses 4 gallon trash bags with an absorbant pad in the bottom.

    Not a clue! Looks like something that would pack around a portable cd player, but you have an ipod so it can’t be that…I’m stumped!

    That is the second craziest thing I have seen all week!! I would have never guessed a potty seat.

    The first craziest thing was:
    My friend keeps a potty seat (very professionally) set up in the back of her mini van! She lines the pot with plastic bags that she swipes from the produce section of her grocery store & puts a paper towel inside to absorb. I was totally laughing at her when I saw it, that is until my daughter had to go #2 while we were at the beach- that mini van potty sure did come in handy!! But still, it was crazy.

    That’s awesome! I was going to guess a potty seat. :) I was thinking of getting one of those for Daniel until he learned how to go standing up. Now it’s not such a problem. If he ever has to go #2 while we’re out…well, we’re sort of in trouble….

    I cheated! ha! Coming in late does have it’s advantages!

    Anyway, a friend of mine has this and let me tell you it is completely awesome! Let’s just say when a few adults are partying and the only “facility” is a gross port-o-pot, this definitely comes in handy!

    Good luck and watch out for those auto flushers. They can really get you!
