For All The Mothers Out There

Attention Children:
The Bathroom Door is Closed!

Author Unknown



Please do not stand here and talk, whine, or ask questions.
Wait until I get out.

Yes, it is locked. I want it that way. It is not broken.
I am not trapped.

I know I have left it unlocked, and even open at times since you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might occur while I was in there, but it's been 10 years and I want some
PRIVACY.

Do not ask me how long I will be. I will come out when I am done.

Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door.

Do not go running back to the phone yelling:
"She's in the BATHROOM!"

Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.

Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle them. This was only funny when you were two.

Do not slide pennies, Legos, or notes under the door. Even when you were
two, this got a little tiresome.

If you have followed me down the hall talking, and are still talking as you face this closed door, please turn around, walk away and wait for me in another room. I will be glad to listen to you when I am done.

Oh ... And yes, I still love you.

Mom

A friend gave this to me at church last night. I thought I would pass it on. While I know that we all love our children dearly, there are those times when we would like just a few minutes of peace in the bathroom!!

That was great! I have been known to lock myself in the bathroom on occasion.

I have had this sign posted on the bathroom door for about 5 years!!! People always get a laugh when they read it, and several have asked for a copy of it. It is so true, my kids have done everyone of those things mentioned. Our biggest problem is...we only have ONE bathroom!!!
