Piper got stuck today under her bed. Naked. “I was just trying to clean under here!” she claimed when I found her bare booty caught in the slats of her bunk bed. She wiggled like a worm trying to free herself. It wasn’t pretty but it was entertaining.
Why was she wearing her birthday suit, you ask? Good question. I’d showered her post pool and she said she needed time to “air out.” Her room also needed cleaning so the two activities logically fit together. Until she got stuck. Naked.
“Fiddlesticks!” Piper yelled when she realized she was truly jammed in under the bed. “Oh, fiddlesticks!” she said again as I coaxed her exposed limb by exposed limb out. “Ah, air!” she celebrated when she finally bounced up from her confinement and examined herself for splinters. Then she put her hands on her hips and proclaimed “Fiddlesticks!” one more time and took a victory lap. Naked, of course.

poor Piper
It was kind of sad. She was so defeated at first. And worried about splinters. Thanks for reading!
Fiddlesticks is an awesome word. And my children ‘air out’ as well after bathing.
“Airing out” is a must. Anyone who disagrees is a fiddlestick!
I like that kids have less of a hang up about nudity. My daughter is creeping into the stage that sometimes demands PRIVACY for changing clothes.
Sissy is creeping into privacy land, too. Sigh. We’re just happy that Piper is agreeing to now close the door a little for bathroom breaks. Really. We don’t need to see everything that goes on in there.
I could totally see this happening to Eebs. By 5 pm there are usually no clothes to be worn. I knew a little gal at a daycare I used to work at that would say “Awww, Shiiiipwreck.” It cracked me up and we still say it, hoping it will be absorbed into her lexicon.
I’m just praying this is the one and only time in her life that P is stuck naked somewhere. Cue Tina Fey.
