One bathroom family

So picture this, I decide to take a shower, and yes, I was home alone with both my children. Stop laughing. I really thought I had a chance. They had been running back and forth across the house trying to catch a train, by the grace of G-d they caught that train (EDS bed) and were reading a Curious George compilation on board. I turned up the heat, turned on the water to warm up and was getting myself ready when Shira burst in. Fine. She likes to watch us shower. Shira closed the bathroom door with purpose. All the better that keeps the cold air out. Then she picked up the hem on her shirt and yelled "eh eh eh eh" as if to say "I need to get undressed for my shower....with you". Fine. We have a shower/bath combo so typically she stays on the other side enjoying the steam and the bath toys. Showering begins well enough if you don't mind listening to a heavy breather grunt and stuff toys into the soap dish. Then Eliyahu Dovid came in. He swung back the shower curtain and asked "Where are you?" Then he waltzed out making a face as if he was disgusted with the idea of a shower. But did he close the door behind him as he was asked? No. Cue cold air wafted through my shower.  Meanwhile Shira finds a new bath toy. It is a golf ball. Probably a dirty, used golf ball Ari discarded as a present to my children. And golf balls roll towards the drain aka my side of the shower. So now little miss busy is all up in my business. I used my feet to make a wall of toys to prevent the ball from rolling my way. She used her feet to happily destroy my wall. EDS enters again. He wants me to take off his tsit tsit. He wants me to button back up the button on his shirt that I unbuttoned in order to remove the tsit tsit. Then he sat down on the toilet and stunk up the bathroom. I can't tell you who started it but they played a game where one would pull back the shower curtain and scream at the other. As happy as I am to hear my children explode into a fit of giggles I would prefer it not to involve drafting up my shower and attacking me with a shower curtain.
