Don't look in the bathroom, Mom!

I was sitting at the computer a little while ago, when out of the blue, Aidan is at my side. He has a booger on his finger and a brand new DOUBLE roll of toilet paper in the other hand. (Please remember the fact that this is a big-ass roll of toilet paper...that fact is important later in the story)

"Mom, you help me get this booger?" Since boogers are part of my job description, what can I do? I take a couple squares of TP and collect the booger for him. Then I hand him the roll of TP and tell him to put it on the counter in the bathroom. I hand him the used TP and tell him to toss that in the toilet. Then tell him when he does that to wash his hands really good with soap.

I quickly forget about the booger and the TP and return to reading my email. A moment later Aidan returns to my side...

"Mom, you don't look in bathroom okay?"

My mommy senses are tingling instantly and I ask "Why can't mommy look in the bathroom?"

He repeats "You no go bathroom."

Now I have to go and look. I get up from my chair and Aidan instantly grabs my hand and says "You not going be mad right?"

Now my heart is sinking wondering what sort of mess he has made...

marker on the wall? toothpaste on the floor? more boogers??

I walk into the bathroom and don't notice anything out of the ordinary right away. Then I notice the crumpled booger TP on the counter.........but no TP roll..........

Sure enough, there in the toilet, is the ENTIRE brand new DOUBLE roll of TP! I guess my instructions got a little mixed up!

I fish out the rapidly deteriorating roll before it clogs the pipes. Aidan looks up at me with that beautiful little face and says "you not be mad mom?" I tell him no, I am not mad. It was an accident.

I am tempted next time to tell him to wipe it on his shirt though.
