These special powers notify them if and when I enter the bathroom! I've even wondered if there is some kind of silent alarm on my bathroom door that signals bells and whistles that only they can hear. Like those dog whistles only the dogs hear.
To this day, I haven't made it through a session without being disturbed. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, or what summoned me there to begin with- they always find me! I have sat in the same room with them for long periods of time without being needed...until I step foot on that tile! Sure enough, one of them (and it's not uncommon for ALL of them) come running into my room calling for me. How do they know I am in there???
The best is when they come running to the door fully expecting it to be unlocked and slam into the rejection. They freak out! I missed the rule that states; Moms are not allowed to have privacy...EVER!!! I hope someday they lose the Special Power.
This is what it feels like:
Please don't knock when the door is locked! Please don't smash your face into the door frame and yell!
Please don't yell louder if I tell you to talk to me when I am out of the shower. Please don't play with the light switch while I'm in the shower!
Please don't camp out by the door and wait for me. Please don't shove toys or wave your little fingers to me under the door! It was cute the first 10 times.
Please don't announce to a caller that I am in the bathroom. Please don't tell me stories or ask questions while the hair dryer is running.
Please, Please, Oh Please, don't disturb me while I am in the bathroom!!!
I've noticed they also have special powers with the telephone!!!

This is, apparently, a super-power with all kids. And, I don't think they ever outgrow it...at least not when they're eight. The only time I get peace in the bathroom is if I'm in there in the middle of the night.
Oh Em,
TOO TOO FUNNY! I have often wondered about these special powers. My biggest thing is when I am on the phone! Jay being the sweet 7 year old that she is, has resorted to writing down what she wants to ask/tell me. Then sticks the paper one or two inches in front of my nose! Like I can read something that close to my face. Makes me want to take the paper and rip it in a million pieces!!
Why can't their super power be to know when mom has reached her limit for the day... maybe clean up the toys without being asked? Ya right!!!
