To those lucky few who have driven the roads between WF and Dallas, you know how sparse a good bathroom can be to come across. Wouldn't you know that in the middle of nowhere Brad tells me he has to poop.
Amazingly, the next exit there was a Best Western. That's it! Not a house, another road, a gas station, a store... a random Best Western. Perfect. I pulled over and got the boys out. As I walked into the hotel I saw a sign "No Bathrooms available for pubic use" Great. The lady in the lobby quickly perked up. I politely asked her if my son could use the bathroom. She said NO. Making sure she knew it was for my 3 year old she told me sorry again, she couldn't help me. The next statement even shocked me a little bit, but I said it aloud "Come on boys, I guess you're just going to have to poop in the grass"
And that we did. Right outside the door on their grassy lawn, I let Cole pee on a rock and let Brad cop-a-squat. Free Show for All! I left the biodegradable hiney wipe in the grass and loaded them back in the van.
I get I'm crazy, no need to tell me, but what else was I suppose to do? Now the big delima.... do I never return there again or do I make it a point to pee in their grass every trip back? Do I write a letter to headquarters? Do I confess I actually let my child defecate in the yard area where the DOGS allowed in the hotel go poop? I'm sorry, but that's a crazy policy. Where's your common sense Best Western?
I might save this story till after my new neighbors know me good and well.... like you all do! You don't judge, right?

By far, this has to be one of the funniest episodes I've read!! You go girl! That serves them right! And, yes, please go back on each trip and Cole can write out his name and the pee will leave the grass yellow, therefore they will never forget how rude they were to my grandbabies! Mom says we will pee on their grass, too, when we come that way to visit!
Hilarious! I know that road well, and you're right-- there's NOWHERE to use the facilities.
So rude of that lady not to let it go this once.
I would write a letter! And thanks for the laugh!!! You are one GREAT mom!
I can't wait to poop on their lawn. This is #2 on my list of things to do in the states, right after eating at the Peanut Place. Oooh, maybe 24hours after the peanut place.
Why did I not hear about this??? Hysterical! I would have done the EXACT same thing! LOVE IT!
