Space Aliens...as told to a 5 yr old.

One day as I was sitting and minding my own business at home, our 5 year old son came to me with a question. Now I have to say this was a strange one. To have your 5 year old ask...Mom how come I never see you go to the bathroom. Now my thought on this is what are having kids if not to have fun with them. So my answer to him was ...That is because I am a Alien and not from this planet. With that he look at me and walk away. After about half hour he came back and wanted to continue the discussion. With this he ask me if you are a alien wouldn't that make me one? I said yes. Well mom if I am a alien why do I have to use the bathroom and you don't. Now I had to do some fast thinking here, not to worry mom is quick on her feet. I told him your Dad not alien and you got that part of him, didn't you ever notice how much time he is in the bathroom! With that he said OK.
Now I thought this was the end of it, till I went to used the bathroom and he ran upstairs behind me and wanted to know where I was going and what I was going to do? So with this I spend two months trying not to get caught going to the bathroom. That not easy with a 5 year old! So finally he caught me! As I came out he was standing there. I had been snag! There he stood and said to me see you do use the bathroom and go potty. As I stood there like a deer caught in the headlight. I thought to myself I have to come up with something here. So I told him that I have to pretend so human wouldn't find out about me. With that he said OK Mom..but I still don't believe you. So I thought to myself the gig is up and we are done with this....Not! After a few years go by and life is going as normal as it can get. I was telling the story to a friend and she thought this was so funny. This friend and I used to do marathon Christmas shopping in one day. This son was about ten and we were just having a pit stop on one of the shopping trip, as we came in the house my son was watching TV, I had a few things to put away and my friend was sitting at the table with a cup of tea. Now my son came into the kitchen to get something to eat. With this she was talking to him and made the remark "You know every time your Mom and I go out it amazes me that she never has to use the bathroom and I have to go all the time. I think that is really strange Don't you".With that son's eyes got really big and his respond was and we had to keep from cracking up..."Oh Mom goes all the time at home"
Now many years later and he has become a young man. It seam he needed some knee surgery from many years of skate boarding. After the surgery when I talk to him he was doing good, but they found something in his knee at the time and weren't sure what it was. Now I couldn't just let this go..no way! With this I answer him with Oh No they have found a few of your Alien parts. Not to worry they won't ever know.Now this is one crazy Mom and this joke went on for about 20 years. I alway said got to have fun with the kids!
That my story and I am sticking to it!
