The Wet Pants

Madeleine has been unwilling to bring her snow pants to school for some reason, and today it (kind of literally) but her in the butt.

MADELEINE: So, I was gonna go down the Slide, and people said, "careful, it's wet," and it WAS wet, but I thought it would be, like, the kind of wet that-
ME: Did you wind up with a totally wet butt?
MADELEINE: Yes!
ME: Did you go to the nurse to get a change of clothes?
MADELEINE: (as if the mere thought was atrocious) No!!
ME: The nurse has extra clothes for situations like this.
MADELEINE: Mommy.  That would be so EMBARRASSING to go into the nurse and be like, "I need new PANTS cause mine got wet."

So continuing to wear pants and underwear with a soaking wet circle on the butt is somehow LESS embarrassing?

MADELEINE: (cheerfully) Besides, they're dry now!

Not for long.  Shortly before we had to leave for swim, Madeleine went to take a drink from her water bottle and wound up dumping it all over her pants and the couch.

MADELEINE: (brightly) All day long I've been lookin' like I peed in ma pants!

And that part is NOT embarrassing?!?
