This is the new notice on the outside of my bathroom door....

 BEFORE KNOCKING, YELLING OR CRYING PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

1. Does it involve blood?
2. Does it involve fire?
3. Is someone not breathing? (Hyperventilating while crying does not count)
4. Is there someone at the door holding an oversized check, balloons and a microphone?

If it does not involve any of the above items do not, and I repeat, do not knock on this door.  This includes, but is not limited to: 

• asking where your tootsie pop is and can you eat it now
• telling me your little brother won't let you watch World's Most Extreme Rollercoasters
• Telling me your big brother won't let you watch Yo Gabba Gabba
• wanting to brush you teeth at that precise moment
• notifying me the cat needs food and won't stop meowing
• asking what your password is for Toon Town
• both of you coming to the door arguing about something that I neither care nor want to care about in this lifetime nor the next. 

I believe that by following these simple rules you will find that mommy doesn't stomp out of the bathroom as often proclaiming everyone is losing computer privileges for the rest of their natural lives.  (and yes, I will call your wife and tell her to tell you to get off the computer)  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  If you have any complaints or questions please fill out a form in triplicate and file it with management.

Ooh, sounds just like MY house... well, at least it was like that a couple of years ago. Now I get the 'Mom, Get Out Of Here' routine about 5 times a day. At least you get your privacy back when they become preteens!

Oh, I definitely need that. Everything seems fine, as soon as I step into to the bathroom, all hell breaks loose or there is a life and death situation. The banging on the door begins, I yell "I will be out in a minute", and the counting begins on the other side of the door.

ohhhh..what memories that all brings back of when my children your still at home. I could be sick and they would still be tapping on the door asking what was for lunch......gotta love them!

[Anna Åkesson]

It´s so nice to se that this happens in others homes as well. In my "I-must-have-The-worst-life"moments I thougt it only happened to me. Thank you. I will have to translate it and maybe make a few pictures sinces my kids never have time to read when the cats are meowing. .. my hustband might though.
