What Gets Your Mom Excited?

from Ben

I asked my mom what her dream was the other day. She said her dream is that her boy will use the potty and not wear diapers any more. How weird is that? I have asked her about ten times since and given her the opportunity to dream for something important, but she sticks with it. Now she has Dad saying the same thing. I know she put him up to it. He isn't that crazy.

I thought I could get some treats out of sitting on the potty today. I told her I would sit on the potty seat if she would bring me a toaster pastry. She brought me a tiny little piece of one and said I would get the rest when I went.

Apparently she meant "when I went on the potty." She should have said that specifically. I kept up my end of the deal. And now all I am getting today is a bath.
