Potions Master

Yeah, sorry. Another "Harry Potter" reference. Nathan is currently dividing his time between being Harry and being a bat. I have to tell him that his dinner is bugs.


Nate is the potions master. For a couple of weeks now, he has been concocting weird brews of water mixed with hunks of Chapstick, pencil shavings, grass, dirt, crayon stubs, flower petals, etc... He dips a magic marker in it to tint it. Mostly he mixes these up in plastic bottles.

What we didn't realize is that he had been pissing in the potions. Not until we tried to figure out the origin of the awful stink in his bedroom.

See, it would be so much better to encourage him to be a bat. Guano doesn't hardly smell at all, at least not like boy pee.

Maybe his urine imparts some essential & mystical quality to his final potion??? :)

At least he's keeping to a plastic jug.

When our neighbor's son was his age, he'd taken to peeing in his closet. They blamed their dog for the longest time, until one day his mom "caught him with his pants down".

Some doctors will say this is normal for young boys. Then I must have been an abnormal boy, 'cause all I ever did was pee behind trees and the neighbor's house. lol

Oh, I'll have to watch for that one! The Boy has been drinking his bath water. I'm thinking, well, surely it won't kill him...

Next time we're at your place, I'll stick to the bottled water. And I'll break the little seal to open it, if you don't mind.
