After this particularly full day of domestic adventure, my husband remarked to me that we must have enough comic fodder for a poem or a sitcom or something.
How does one deal with a 5 year old boy who has been promised cake after he gets into his pajamas, but who has instead been caught peeing in his clothes hamper?
First, you have him transport soiled clothes in a plastic trash bag to the laundry room.
Second, you take away the cake and, as an added bonus, make him watch the rest of the family eat the last of it. Finally, you write a limerick, of course.
There once was a boy from Nantucket
Who saw fit to pee in a bucket
He asked for some cake
Said it was just a mistake
But mama said, "No. You can suck it!"
We're now going to enjoy alcohol and hope tomorrow is a better day.

It's always best to deal with it with humor!
Pops had issues with him not being from Nantucket. I considered it poetic license!
I remember trying to use the garbage bucket in my room as a potty once when I was probably about his age...it did not go over well. I was pretty sneaky back then though so I don't remember getting caught or punished. I'm sure the boy was not happy. Nice limerick :D
