The World's Most Reliable Laxative

I don't know if anyone else has this problem with their children... Every time we ask them to clean they have to poo!  EVERY TIME!  It doesn't matter what time of day it is or what they've eaten.  They don't get out of chores by using the restroom they still have to clean, so I don't understand their reasoning.  

It never fails ask O to do the dishes, or K to start some laundry and their bowels start moving.  It's so frustrating.  Maybe my kids are just strange. (that wouldn't surprise me a bit)

Maybe I should try that one for my child who poops only once every 10 days or so!

SO FUNNY! I think it's just a "kid thing" though. I think I can remember using the "bathroom excuse" when I was young too. Now, it seems like an inconvenience if I NEED to stop what I'm doing so I don't pee my pants. Whatever. I think they'll grow out of it, right?

With my kids it is going to bed. James does it to me everytime.

I just stumbled on your blog through a little lurking... This post is SO, SO, SO funny and incredibly true! For my boys, cleaning, and bed/nap time are the world's most reliable laxatives. I thought we were the only ones who encountered this phenomenon.

Ditto Here. Even after just coming out of the bathroom, ask them to clean or do dishes and they are right back in.

That IS strange. I have never heard anything like it -- until I just read all your comments, too. Crazy.
