I think I'm a little OCD!

I decided today that I am probably a little bit of a freak about my new carpet staying clean. When we first got the carpet, I told the kids that no shoes were allowed on the carpet. They have been really good about it. They always take off their shoes right when they walk in the house and they tell their friends to do the same. Well, today I came into the kitchen and found Jake standing there with his pants down. He had recently gotten home from school and hadn't taken his shoes off yet. I asked him why his pants were down. He said "I just went to the bathroom outside" I asked him why he went outside. He told me that he had to go really bad but couldn't get to the bathroom because his shoes were on. I felt kind of bad. At least he didn't wet his pants!
