In an effort to help bring home some extra money, I decided to go back to work at Starbucks a couple evenings a week. The other night was my first time away from my son for a six hour time period.
During this time, I experienced guilt, anxiety, freedom, a social independence, and went through every possible scenario of what could possibly happen to him in my absence. I didn't want to go there - as he was safe in my husband's care - but my imagination dominated the sane part of me and I began to anxiously crave holding my son.
Six hours after leaving him, I was reunited. I picked him up and placed him on the changing table, took his diaper off and bowed down to his smiling face, and said:
"Your mommy missed you! Did you miss me?"
Not realizing he was naked, he then proceeded (with a huge smile on his face) to spray me with a long fountain of pee. It got on my arm, his face, my stomach, his ankles. It got everywhere and then some, and I began to laugh. And squeel.
My son obviously has a sense of humor, and luckily so do I.
