My toddler seems to have caught a summer bug with some fever but barely any other symptoms, so the doc asked us to hand in a sample of morning pee to the lab.

So this morning I woke her up and had her sitting on the potty for half an hour. At the end she got really uncomfortable and I sort of gave up... I mean, thirty minutes of nothing happening but protests, I was afraid she would get numb legs and we were already out of time for the lab. And we have tried everything I could think of! She drank lots of water, I caressed her thighs with wet fingers, I poured water from cup to cup to produce tinkling sounds, and still nothing happened.

So she stood up, I got a diaper on her, and she filled it to the brim. Well, thank you very much!

I got played. Damn.
