Since Halloween is just around the corner, costumes and accessories are popping up all over the place – which sparks a lot of conversation – so it didn’t really phase me when my 2-year-old asked to get out his lion costume from last year.
There was mild roaring coming from the general direction of his bedroom, and then a 3-foot wild cat pounced on me and begged I help button-up his back fur.
As he turned around, I found a bare little bottom peeking out at me from between the gaps in the cloth.
“Son,” I asked. “Where is your diaper?”
“Mom! I a yion. Yions no wear diapers!”
Well, you can’t really argue with that.
But I am definitely need to find a cartoon lion or tiger (or BEAR!) that is still not yet potty-trained, too!
