What was he THINKING?

 

On Friday night Kam fell asleep on the couch. I woke him up and told him to go use bathroom and get in bed.  He is such a heavy sleeper, it took me a minute to get him to budge.  After he walked around in a few circles he headed to the kitchen.  I went to my room to change and left him alone because I thought he was going to get a drink.  While in my room, I heard a strange noise- like a stream of water pelting plastic.  I quickly went in the kitchen and Kam had pulled out the garbage can from under the sink and was peeing into it.  I was startled, but realized if I startled him we would have a mess- pee everywhere.  It seemed so far he had hit the inside of the can so I calmly kept telling him to focus and aim.  To make matters worse the kitchen light was off and his eyelids were halfway closed.  After he finished he went to bed, it didn't even phase him, like it was a normal thing to pee in a garbage can....  I'm pretty certain he wasn't even thinking.  It was close to midnight and I wasn't about to tackle cleaning out the garbage can!  I set it aside, and checked the floor and cupboard doors to make sure he hadn't sprayed them. 

I have to admit I was pretty impressed-as far as I could tell he was a sure fire aim in his sleep.  That isn't the case most nights or even days and that goes for all of my boys!  The job I detest the most is cleaning the boys' toilet (including the floor and wall around the toilet- gross!  It's like they've let go of a water balloon filled with pee and it bounced around and sprayed everywhere.  Hindsight or lesson learned- we should've potty trained them to sit on the toilet, rather than stand. 

Anyways- back to the story, the next morning Kam didn't remember a thing, but he still had to take the garbage out and wash the can.  I won't mention that this isn't the first time this has happened and it wasn't Kam.
