This one time I decided it wasn’t fair that boys get to pee standing up while us girls are restricted to sitting only. I didn’t appreciate the double standard. Just one of many double standards I would grow to hate.
One day I was all, “Maaaan, I can pee standing up if I want to!” and so I did.
Wouldn’t you know there really is a reason girls are better off sitting in the bathroom? Without boy parts I really wasn’t able to aim the way one might hope.
I padded down my legs and ran on my way, but my mother called me over to the bathroom just minutes later, “Kaaaathy??? Come here!”
I was all “What??” as we stood there staring at the drenched toilet and floor and she was all “What on Earth happened in here??? Did you try to pee standing up???”
How did she always know EVERYTHING!?!

I am curious about the other double standards and how well trying to defy them worked out for you. I agree with moms knowing everything. ” You better not be in the cookie jar!” How could she know, she was in the other room?!
You should call my mom. She and my uncle used to have peeing contests off the back porch of their house. According to legend, she could hold her own without being able to hold her own.
I know this story is about pee but I just gotta tell you… that picture of you is gorgeous!
You are gorgeous and funny… you better be careful how you use that.
ha ha ha that is pretty funny! My two year old little girl tried it the other day… pretty much same results as you had! Love it! (well, not cleaning it!)
Ha ha ha!!!! That is absolutely hilarious!!!
By the way I love your pictures!!!
bwhahahaha… duh. because she’s mom. she’s all-knowing.
Hmm, does squatting down halfway count as standing? Cuz that kinda works.
