We were visiting Ana Lucia's sister and Skyler kept pestering me, come here dad.  After about 5 times of me brushing him off, I realized it was important.  He pulled me into the bathroom right off the kitchen saying he didn't know how to shut the latch on the door, and was embarrassed to go to the bathroom with everyone standing in the Kitchen.  Standing inside of the bathroom, I latched the door, and said, "see easy".  When I realized he was going number 2 I said, "hey i've you're going to take a dump, I'm going to wait outside" and scooted quickly out.  In a panic from me opening the door to get out, Skyler jumped up to shut the door.  By this time he was in full force, and had been pestering me for quite a while.  Needless to say, this was quite an accident, ALL over the bathroom.  Like a cannon of crap, the toilet seat, floor, even walls (thanks brazilian food on an american stomach).  Skyler went into even more of a frantic scream once he realized what happened and started screaming hysterically.  Yes, your and my nightmare, you visit someone's house and cause a huge accident in the bathroom.  With all the screaming, every Brazilian woman (brazilian women, especially relatives have no problem seeing or being seen naked) in the house came running, including Yasmeen.  Ana Lucia's sister immediatly knew what happened and tried pushing the door open, but this put Skyler into more of a frantic, because his drawers were down to his ankles and he was trying with all his might to keep the door shut, unfortunately he was sliding around in the mess.  So I slipped in the bathroom to see the mess.  Yasmeen came following and Skyler in his frantic went to close the door, pinching Yasmeen's fingers.  Yasmeen gave out a blood curdling scream and now I've got two kids screaming at the top of their lungs.  Long story short, there is never a dull day when you're in Brazil.  What did Skyler expect, a door knob, no in Brazil we have latches.

I really felt old tonight.  Skyler asked how many years until I'm going to be a grandpa.  I guess it's better than him saying, surprise, you're going to be a grandpa, but not by much.

I gave the kids a muffin this morning.  Ana Lucia said, "Oh good, those are healthy, they're made out of Holy Heat."  That's Ana Lucia speak for Whole Wheat.  Of course I never corrected her on it, I just find things like that entertaining.  Good thing she got her braces off or she'd still be telling people she doesn't like her breasts.
