Parenting can often lead to unexpected and hilarious moments, especially when it comes to using the restroom with little ones. I once shared a story on my social media about a pep talk I received from my four-year-old during a rather uncomfortable moment in a gas station restroom. She was like the cheerleader of bowel movements! The story quickly gained traction, and if you search my name alongside “diarrhea,” you’ll find an endless stream of results. For those who missed it, you can read the full story here.
As expected with viral posts, the comments section was flooded with parents sharing their own embarrassing restroom experiences. It seems we all have to navigate these moments with an audience of curious children, which is clearly a shared struggle. I’ve compiled some of the most unforgettable anecdotes from fellow parents below. These stories will surely make you chuckle (or cringe)!
- “When my oldest was about 3, I was at home with guests when he saw me change a tampon. He bolted out the door yelling, ‘Dad, mom’s pecker fell off and now she’s bleeding!’”
- “When my daughter was a toddler, I had to pee. Before I could stop her, she dashed under the stall and began clapping, cheering for the woman next to us who had just let out a fart. I was mortified, but I think the lady in there was even more shocked!”
- “One time, my teenager and I were in adjacent stalls. She let out a loud fart just as I exclaimed, ‘Way to go, Lil!’ only to hear, ‘Nice one, mom!’ Turns out she wasn’t next to me after all!”
- “I took my 4-year-old into the ladies’ room. After he finished, I went too. He leaned over, singing, ‘I can see your peeeenis!’ I replied, ‘No, you can’t.’ He responded, ‘Yes, I can!’ and then inquired why I didn’t have one like daddy. The chuckles around us were plentiful.”
- “While my daughter was in a public restroom, I waited outside. Suddenly, we heard her shout, ‘GET OUT OF MY BUTT, BIG POOPY!’ My sister and I struggled to contain our laughter, but many nearby didn’t hold back.”
- “My 4-year-old once wondered if we might get to meet the lady with the biggest farts in the next stall when she finished.”
- “My daughter advised me, ‘Don’t push too hard, Mommy! Just relax or your brain will explode!’”
- “In a public restroom, my friend’s granddaughter asked, ‘Grandma, why is there hair on your bum?’ I couldn’t stop laughing!”
- “I have five daughters. Once, when one was using a stall, an older lady tried to come in. My daughter yelled, ‘I’m working on a big one in here! Try the next stall!’”
- “When a woman walked in and peed for what seemed like ages, my daughter exclaimed, ‘WOW, she had to go really really bad. She’s peeing A LOT! Good job, lady!!!’”
- “My niece was in a stall with her mother and asked, ‘Momma, you pooping or just gassing? Oh, pooping! Nice work!’”
- “I once took my daughter into the men’s room. After she finished, she insisted on washing her hands. Next thing I knew, she was at the urinal, exclaiming how strange the sinks were!”
Honestly, I found myself laughing out loud at many of these stories, especially the one about the urinal. Parenting is indeed an adventure, but no one quite prepares you for the realities of it—both the sights and the smells! If you’re navigating these moments with curious little ones, just know you’re not alone.
