I would imagine that normal people DO go to IKEA.  Based on what I have seen, normal people do yes, frequent Ikea, and they even do it at holiday time.

But I think normal people would not take it on the word of their 3 year old that she yes, went potty already in Smaland.  Normal people would probably insist that she at least TRY to use the facilities before making the 40+ minute drive back home.

Normal people would do this, I am sure.

Normal people do not pull off of the freeway in Bellevue when the traffic is backed up, because their three year old is moaning and crying about how she has to go to the bathroom.  Normal people would realize that this is NOT a good place to exit the freeway, no matter how uncomfortable she is as there is not an easy way to get back on said freeway.  Normal people would realize that with the time spent stopped trying to exit, they could have driven a little further.  Although normal people probably don’t want pee all over the inside of their car, either, and don’t always think rationally.

Normal people, I am sure, might pull into the AM/PM looking for a toilet for their shoeless, weeping three year old.  Normal people should probably know that with just their luck, the key to the AM/PM bathroom got broken off in the lock and rendered the bathroom totally unavailable for use.

Normal people would be irritated.  Normal people would fear the traffic.  I don’t think normal people would derobe their three year old inside their van and ask her to urinate in the free cup that came with the 99 cent lunch from IKEA.  But they might.  And if they did, I am sure they would get a little nervous as the fluid in the cup came closer and closer to the rim while the flow showed no signs of stopping. 

Relief when it didn’t overflow, for the normal people, of course.  

I am not sure what the normal people would do with the pee in the cup, but I threw it in the AM/PM dumpster.  Charming thinks I should have dumped it on the ground first.  Eew.  Gross.

Happy Holidays!
