MISSING PRIVACY

Trying to teach Malia about privacy. So I went in the bathroom and on cue, the bathroom door opens right behind me.

Me: "Malia, may I have some privacy please?"

Malia: "Yes Mommy. I give you puhyvaseee."

And she closed the door! I was super excited until she opened it right back...

Malia: "Mommy, where is it?"
