We’ve Got Issues, Yes We Do! We’ve Got Issues, How ‘Bout You?


Friday afternoon I watched my neices while their mother was in the town’s homecoming parade. Everythign seemed fine. We played, had fun, ate snacks, watched a cartoon. All was great. Until out of no where E pulled downhis pants and peed… on his cousin.

This isn’t the first time he’s done this.

When the incident was mentioned to their mother she made a comment about E having “issues”. As in “You’re completely messed up your child and now he’ll be that crazy kid who burns down the school.” issues.

To be honest I’ve worried aobut him for a bit, Little things, outbursts and rages and the such. But they’ve always been played off as normal behavior for a boy his age with too much energy. And it’s hard to admit that my perfect, sweet, funny, smart little guy could have anything wrong with him. The day he was born I said he was perfect, and I’m sticking to that.

So Monday morning I call his doctor and see about making an appoinment. Dearest is not happy at all. His fears are that the doctors will want to pump E up with drugs until he’s a zombie. He should know by now who E’s mother is.

Hello, crazy chick who wouldn’t even take an asprin when she was pregnant. What makes you think I’d zombie-fy my kids now?

    “Sorry, E, but if you pee on your friends, you don’t get to play with your friends. You’ll have to sit in here for a bit.”

    Funny, the things we find ourselves saying!!!

    I think he just realized that a penis shooting pee is pretty dang cool. Maybe he needs to shoot at some Cheerios in the toilet to get his fix?

    I hated to say it, but I had a suspicion that something was “wrong” with E going by the last few crazy stories. I just didn’t know how to phrase it without sounding wacko or alarmist. Let’s hope it’s something simple like an allergy!

    Sometimes what seems like a bigger ‘issue’ can actually be either nothing at all or, as in our case, a smaller issue. This reminds me so much of what we went through with Intrepid back in the day.
