If you’ve ever resorted to duct-taping a diaper, you are likely sympathetic to the crazy, zany, sometimes hilarious, yet often effective measures we moms employ.
My sons were taught to sink targets in the toilet (aka Cheerios) which was, perhaps, no the most eco-friendly option, but certainly a very effective training method that worked wonders.
We do what we have to do. We do what is best, effective, and practical at the time. We use what is at hand, available, and willing to aid us in the quest to raising safe, secure, and happy children who aim at the toilet, rather than the floor.
And we do our best to contain our laughter, or better yet, to belt it out and realize that life is full of funny, impractical moments and measures that enhance and define motherhood.
I’ve personally used television to help distract/detain/quiet down/and so on… once put sugar on a pacifier to keep my son quiet in Church (may God and dentists everywhere please forgive me,) … and recently had a very uncomfortable conversation at the dinner table that involved the topic of “boobs” (which I, hopefully, hid my surprise over having this topic introduced and managed to impart a healthy respect for women to my sons.)
In appreciation of the humor of mommyhood, Clorox is offering moms a potty-break at The Clorox Lounge. The Clorox Lounge, hosted by comedian and mom Sheri Shepherd, features anecdotes, contests, coupons, and a high dose of humor.
To kick off the opening of the The Clorox Lounge, Clorox is hosting a Last Comic Sitting Competition and Sweepstakes, beginning Februrary 27, 2012. Ten (10) of the funniest mom and dad comics will have the chance to go head-to-head for a chance to sit on the throne and be crowned the Last Comic Sitting. The grand prize winner will win $10,000!
Viewers also have the chance to win, so along with getting a great dose of comedy relief, you could rake in some terrific prizes. Just for joining The Clorox Lounge and registering, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win $10,000. Share your crazy comedy mommy moments in the weekly contests and you could win gift cards or gift packs, too.
For even more giggles and chance to win, you can also like the Clorox Ode to the Comode Facebook Page:
I believe it’s time we embrace the potty break, don’t you? And, perhaps, we’ll clue the kids in later…
