Phone Calls from School

Today while at the Dr I hear my phone going crazy in my jacket pocket. After finally checking out, I look to see that it was the school calling me. I have to take a deep breath, and brace myself for the next craziest thing that I have ever heard, since the last time the school has called. Today took the cake. I call back and they send me to Hollie, the same girl that seems to always call. We know each other pretty well by now, almost 2 years of phone calls home. She tells me that Cars needs a change of underware. I was so confused. How could my EIGHT year old who has NEVER had an accident just need a change. He would have to die before having an accident. It's just NOT him!!! She asks if I would like to talk to him and totally bewildered I say yes. He gets on the phone and asks if I will bring him some underware. I say, "Sweetheart, what in the heck happened?!?" He says, "I just didn't get it all. And, would you please bring me some toilet paper?" Confused, on so many levels, I ask if they are out at the school. He says, "No...but Mom...it is only one sheet thick." I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Carson is so like me. I do not do public bathrooms. I don't even do friends bathrooms. Which is weird because my bathroom (tied closely with my kitchen floor) is the dirtiest room in my house. I don't know the reason, but both of us are complete bathroom snobs! And toilet paper snobs! I luckily had a sitter already so I ran home and to the school. The office was laughing and saying how cute he was. His teacher saw me and told me how cute he is. The school nurse as he was changing was going on and on about what a good mom I must be to have raised such a wonderful boy. Not exactly the response you expect from that kind of ... call. They all said how polite and sweet he is and every adult I talked to just gushed about him. When he was done changing I quietly said to him, "You must have had to go REALLY bad. Why did you use this bathroom?" He just said, "I had to go BAD! But I will never again. I hate their toilet paper!" So funny. This might be the first time ever he has used toilet paper in a public place. There is a bit difference between Charmin Ultra and the schools. Enough so that he will carry his own from now on! So funny, so funny!!!
