Would that be the girl loo or the boy loo?

Like many church meetings, ours is usually a time for those attending to be quiet and attentive.  This is usually a format that we highly encourage our children to practice while we all sit on the pew.

And that is the way everyone in the family was behaving yesterday until Chance's brother took Chance's baby sister out to the bathroom.  She just can't wait for the meeting to end sometimes.

When they returned, I was informed by my youngest child that they had gone into the girls bathroom.  My mind conjured up her dress dipping into the toilet etc. so that her brother had to go in and save her.

I was surprised that he would send her into the girls bathroom alone. She needs help with her dresses and she insisted that her brother be the one to take her to the loo.

So while sitting on the bench in the quiet chapel,  I mouthed to Chance's brother,"You went into the girls bathroom?"

Chance was sitting just beyond his brother and while the original target of the question did not get what I was saying, Chance, lip reader extraordinaire did.

Chance and his brother climbing a waterfall last summer.

"HE WENT INTO THE GIRLS BATHROOM?!" Yes, Chance can mouth phrases with great emphasis while still being silent.   Then Chance started laughing hysterically.  Belly laughing while covering his mouth to try to stay quiet.

Then I started laughing because of Chance's response and had to quietly shake with laughter on the bench while Chance's brother sat mouthing,"What??"

I shortly thereafter was slipped a note informing me that no, they did not go into the girls bathroom, they had been in the boys bathroom.

The moral of this story is, never mouth anything to anyone where Chance can see you unless you want Chance in on the conversation.  He WILL know what you are saying:)
