CONFESSION: When I get a wedding invitation that specifies it’s an adult-only affair, I secretly breathe a sigh of relief. You might remember a post I wrote about Mazzy back when she was two, entitled “World’s Worst Wedding Date.”
Since then, my kids have actually gotten much better at keeping it together at grown-up occasions, especially since I’ve learned to keep a steady supply of lollipops at the ready.
But there are some things that even candy bribery can’t control, as this couple found out on their wedding day. Their vows were very loudly interrupted by their son’s very urgent need to take a poop.
Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of parents faster than a poop alert at an elegant affair where fancy clothes are involved. Especially if mom and dad are the bride and groom!
Hey, at least he made his parents smile on their wedding day. What’s the most awkward time/place your child has ever announced that it’s potty time?
Too cute!! I could not help but laugh out loud with that one! 🙂 Kids always have the best timing, but part of me is still thinking, “at least he told them he had to go and did not just wait until it was too late!” hahaha
And whoever that was that came running to help with a #2, is a wonderful auntie!! 🙂 High five to you auntie for saving the day!
Right? She was on point! she swept him away immediately, knew exactly where to go, and did it in heels.
Our daughter did similar at our wedding when she was 16 mon old. She was with her grandparents and started screeching for mommy, she ended up clinging to my leg the entire time.
I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding. My daughter who was 4 (currently 5) was supposed (key word) to be under the watchful eye of my mother. On the trip back down the isle she escaped my mothers grasp and tackled my leg (to be fair to my mom she was also trying to keep my 2 year old under control as well). I just drug her along on the ground. The photographer and my daughter thought it was hilarious. I felt terrible for my cousin.
The woman who swooped in to run off to the potty is a hero! I’m not sure if it’s grandma, auntie, babysitter, or whatnot, she deserves an award.
First, OMG, too funny! I’d be the one jumping out of the crowd taking the kid to the potty.
But, MORE, OMG….George Takei just sent this to like millions of people! Direct link.
