Three-Year-Old Boy Caught Hoarding Pee In His Mum’s Bedroom Drawer

Three-Year-Old Boy Caught Hoarding Pee In His Mum’s Bedroom Drawer

Three-year-old Freddie Bartlett's mum got a shock when she discovered the source of the smell.

As an elder sibling you have the privilege of witnessing all of your younger siblings' embarrassing childhood moments. Little Freddie Bartlett may have cause to hate his older sister Phoebe in future years.

On Tuesday, 21-year-old Phoebe, from Bournemouth, tweeted a picture of the discovery her mum made after she smelt a suspiciously wee-tinted whiff for about a week.

It turned out that toddler Freddie had a secret drawer in her room which he'd spent the past few days filling with wee - despite him blaming the smell on the dog. Phoebe ran in and snapped the scene which you can see below:

"What happened was mum could smell wee in her room for about a week, but couldn't find a patch from the dog, so she asked my brother if the wee was in her room," Phoebe, from Bournemouth, told Buzzfeed News.

"Then he opened the drawer and she screamed and said, 'Did you do this?' and he then said he did, haha!"

He may only be a toddler but Freddie has shown a fair amount of cunning in this stomach-turning scenario.

The main question we have to ask in this situation is: why on earth would he pee in the drawer in the first place?

"He's only 3 years old," Phoebe explained, which is fair dos. "He must have been doing it while he's in his room watching his tablet, which is also on the drawer, and can't be bothered to go to the toilet, so he opened the drawer and was peeing in there."

The reaction to Phoebe's tweet has been mixed to say the least:

Nevertheless Phoebe is not bothered by it, saying that ultimately, it's her brother.

I'm not sure that Freddie will be fine with it in twenty years when his best man digs it out for his wedding speech.

Phoebe's mum ended up throwing the drawer out - which is a shame really. I guess Freddie will have to find somewhere sneakier to take a leak in next time.
