My Peaceful Shower

I wonder if anyone else pretends they can't hear anything when they're in the shower. Maybe it's just me. This afternoon I decided to take a longer shower just to have a few minutes of peace on a Saturday - and to shave my legs for the first time in who knows how long. My peaceful shower was anything but peaceful :)As I turned on the water, I heard the first knock. I pretended not to hear but the knocking continued, followed by Zeke's voice saying, "Mom! Can I come in? I just want to. Can I come in? Mom! Mom?" I didn't respond and eventually he wandered away.
A few seconds later as I was stepping into the shower, I heard the second person knocking. Again, I didn't respond. Riley started yelling, "Mommmmm!!!! Taylor stole my two dollars when I was sleeping. Make her give them back. Mommmmmm!!!  Again, I choose silence as my best option.
Soon I hear screaming and then Brittney's voice at the door. "MOM!! Can you please control your children!"
A few minutes later, I heard Taylor's voice at the door yelling, "Mom!!!! Zeke is in the office and I told him to get out and he's still sitting there! Mom!!! Make him get out!" All I can do is sigh.
While the water was running through my hair, I hear a tiny knock, over and over. That little voice just kept repeating, "Mom! Come in? Mom! Come in? Mom! Come in?"
The next knock was followed by Brittney's all-important shower-interupting question, "Did you know that Laura Ingalls Wilder's dad built the railroad tracks behind our house?!!"

I'm suprised they haven't taught the dog to knock on the bathroom door yet.
