Do you hate when your kids pee in the pool?

You know those rules of society that we all follow? Whether you think about them or not, chances are, you follow them to the letter. Farting in public, especially closed spaces: BAD.  Going into the bathroom of the opposite sex: BAD.  Eating a stranger's food at a restaurant: BAD.  Peeing in the pool: BAD.  The list goes on, but I pause at this particulr rule because the other day my nine year old son with autism, Braxton, broke this rule.  And he broke it with a little pizazz!  You might wonder, at this point, how I would know my son peed in the pool.  Usually this rule can be broken while flying, or rather swimming, under the radar.  But on this day I was not to walk away from the pool with my dignity in tact.  While preparing to vacate the pool (Braxton had already attempted to drown only 30 minutes earlier and Trey, the seven year old with autism, was entertaining himself by spraying the babies with the freezing cold hose and pushing unsuspecting kids into the deep end) I was drying off my baby girl.  I had just finished helping Braxton dry off.  Suddenly, to the dismay of my ears, I heard a small splashing sound and gasps from the little old ladies sitting round about.  I whip around just in time to see my child using the deep end as his own personal unrinal! So the next time you go swimming with your children, don't worry about whether they are peeing in the pool.  Be grateful they are not peeing into the pool!
