Who’s there?
Privacy.
Privacy who?
Shut the door! I need my privacy!
Yes, we’ve reached that stage. There’s been chattering here and there lately about “privacy.” And one of my daughters walked in the bathroom this morning and closed the door. We were all done with the “getting ready” part of the day. She had already used the toilet, washed her hands, brushed her teeth, etc. I said, “Hey, whatcha doing?” She opened the door, looked at me, smiled and said, “Oh, I just need some privacy.” And she closed the door.
Even more shocking though? I was in the shower, and someone KNOCKED ON THE DOOR. I thought, “Oh, crap. Did the UPS guy make it all the way in here? He usually leaves the package on the back step or, at the most, inside the kitchen door. Why would he come in here? Oh, crap.” Yes. All that went through my head in .025 seconds.
Then the door opened.
“Mommy?”
Well, that’s not the UPS guy. (And if it is, I’m in Big Trouble.)
It was my other daughter. But you know what? She KNOCKED ON THE DOOR! Red Letter Day, y’all. Just in case you don’t remember how I never took showers, I now can take a shower and (sorta) have my privacy too.

That is awesome.

When my girl was in daycare, she used to announce “I need my privacy” when she was pooping. That meant I was to leave the room or hide behind the shower curtain, but it was more of a joke.
Now that she’s pushing six and a half, she’s showing signs of wanting actual privacy, like while she’s getting dressed.
On the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever closed the bathroom door in my house, unless there are guests…

I know, right?
Yeah, I have a feeling we’ll be closing a few more doors around our house.
