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 bathroom 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 face this 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.
