The day Swiper almost killed me...

I normally try to shower when Aubs is asleep or in the evening when Nick is home for extra eyes on the kiddo. Today I had no other choice, I have to leave for the night shift and had to shower mid morning. Aubs was of course up & being 3, so I set her up on the computer with a game & had the tv playing as added support. I get all soaped up, & shampoo in my hair, when I hear screaming from the other room. Something to do with "no! Go away!" I of course freaked and almost ripped the shower curtain down trying to get out if the tub. I attempted to grab the towel off the rack as I flew out if the bathroom. Naturally the bath may us missing, so I like like Bambi on ice sliding across the ceramic floor. I rush out the door to find Aubrey leaning on the edge of my bed pointing at the TV.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" - in my crazy/panicked mom voice.
"Mommy! Swiper tried to steal Dora's friend Benny's cookies! Stealing is not nice!" - Aubrey in her innocent 3 year old voice.
So in all my shame, standing there soaking wet (I never could grab the towel) with my beehive shampoo hair, in God's natural outfit, I explained that next time, she should use her inside voice to tell Swiper to go away. I proceeded to go back & finish my shower with a little less dignity than I started. :-/
