Attention Children:

So this was handed out at story time in the Library a few weeks ago and I just had to share- it should be posted on every bathroom door in every "mom's" House!

Attention Children:

The Bathroom Door is Closed.
Please do not stand here and talk, whine, or ask questions.
Wait until I get out.
Yes, it is locked. I want it that way.
It is not broken, I am not trapped.
I know I have left it unlocked, and even open at times, since you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might occur while I was in there, but it's been 10 years and I want some PRIVACY.
Do not ask me how long I will be. I will come out when I am done.
Do not bring the phone to the bathroon door.
Do not go running back to the phone yelling,"She's in the BATHROOM!"
Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.
Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle them.
This was funny when you were two.
Do not slide pennies, Legos, or notes under the door.
Even when you were two this got a little tiresome.
If you have followed me down the hall talking, and are still talking as you care the closed door, please turn around, walk away, and wait for me in another room.
I will be glad to listen to you when I am done.
And yes, I still love you. - MOm
