The husband took the 3 year old for a shower one morning.
The facilities were some of the best we’ve encountered during our camping trips. The shower cubicles were spacious and fairly clean, the hairdryers so powerful that I looked like I’d just stepped out of a salon … albeit wearing pyjamas and walking boots. Believe me, some campsites leave a lot to be desired and in the past we have had some interesting ‘wet wipe washes’ as a result.
There was a big sign which pointed out that once you had pressed the shower button it would only work for 5 minutes so it would be best to be undressed before hitting the button. Another member of our camping group didn’t read the sign and just as he’d lathered up the shower stopped. He then had to wait 2 minutes before it would start again. We didn’t laugh … much.
So, the husband and 3 year old undressed. The toilet block was a hubbub of activity; people showering, brushing their teeth and using the toilet.
With them both undressed and the husband about to hit the magic shower button the 3 year old looked at himself then at the husband and said in his loud 3 year old voice “DADDY, THAT’S A BIG WILLY!”.
The husband recounts how the toilet block fell silent as people stopped brushing their teeth and wiping their arses to take in what they had just heard. The tumbleweed rolled past the shower cubicles.
After the shower, all clean and sparkly, they emerged from their cubicle to clapping. The husband walking with a swagger, his back aching from the weight of his enormous appendage, all the other campers gave him a high-five and then went about their business.
That last bit is totally made up by the way … well, the clapping and the high-five bit anyway …

The Husband is now going to think he can outdo the 80 year old from the Fighting Cock with the magnificence of his appendage…

PS: My son used to pop his head under the stalls next to us to tell me what the people were doing (as in #1 or #2). Mortifying.
Very funny.
My son used to always start about my pubes or stretchmarks when he was in the changing rooms with me. Also quite uncomfortable.
haha! I love the fact that although it’s obvious that any said appendage is going to be bigger than a 3 year olds, he still got an ego boost out of it! lol
Oh my, I definitely needed that good laugh!
LOL I’m sure Dad wi be teling that story for the rest of his life:) Very cute!
Although you have to be slightly concerned that he’s swaggering after being compared to a three year old and winning
Sounds like you’re having fun though. Hope the weather stays lovely!
Hee hee don’t you just love 3 year olds? I bet he’s still got that swagger now.
