Heh. My oldest reminded me of an incident that made my ex and I look like bad parents at the time.

When Bobby, the youngest, was between 3 and 6 years old he was obsessed with bathrooms and toilets, the latter I assume because the swirling water spun and children with autism have a penchant for just about anything that spins. Due to that obsession he had to check out the bathroom in every public place we went and we usually did our best to oblige him. Unfortunately if the store had TWO bathrooms he had to check out the second one as well, and there wasn't always time or patience on our part.

For whatever reason one particular time we declined to let Bobby "check out the bathroom" at Walmart. Probably due to time constraints and/or the fact that he'd likely already had a look at it when we came in. He immediately threw a temper tantrum, to which my ex silently slung him over his shoulder and carried him out of the store.

Of course, what did he scream all the way down the aisle and out the door? "Help me! I have to go to the bathroom!"

I'm sure everybody at Wally World thought we being mean to our kid for not taking him to the bathroom. ;)
