Purposefully Misunderstood

When my son was almost potty-trained and also going to day care, I came to pick him up one day to find a completely distraught daycare owner.

Daycare Owner: “Your son peed on the floor, and he did it on purpose!”

Me: “I will speak with him.”

Later, I do so:

Me: “Your teacher said you didn’t make it to the potty.

Son: *Sadly.* “I know.”

Me: “She said that you did it on purpose.”

Son: *Very sincerely.* “Oh, no, Mama. I did it on the floor.”
