Our story starts when Connor was going to the bathroom.

Connor: ‘DADDY!’
Me: ‘What!?!’
Connor yells: ‘Can you come wipe my butt!?!’

This is a conversation between Kate and myself and Connor chiming in at the end. We will pick up after I asked Kate where something was.

Me: “Connor, what are you laughing at?”
Connor: “haha, You said BOTTOM!”

“Mommy, I love Hannah 10 much”
