Bathroom door: closed?

[McNutty]

Here's a conversation I've had more than once:

[McNutty walks into bathroom]
SugarPlum: "Hey! I'm going to the bathroom!"
McNutty: "Then close the door!"
SugarPlum: "I didn't think you were around." (alternate: "You were in the garage!" or "You were upstairs!")
McNutty: "I live here." (alternate: "Sometimes I move around!")


Actually, I use the phrase "I live here" a lot. SugarPlum is incredibly easily startled, so occasionally she'll walk into a room and scream because I'm there and she didn't expect it, and I'll say, "Hi. Remember me? I live here."

ETA: There's a startle story that's just too hilarious to not share: The other day, I get home and I know she was planning to be napping with the baby right around then, so I'm trying to be quiet coming in the house. As I round the corner into the hallway, I hear that she's in the bathroom, and I freeze, knowing that my task now is to find a way to announce my presence without scaring the shit out of her. I stop and ponder for a second, and decide that coughing will do it, so I give a couple coughs. Moments later, she comes out of the bathroom, turns towards me, and jumps out of her skin. I say, "I tried to let you know I was here," and she responds, annoyed, "I'm wearing earplugs!" as she removes an earplug from one ear. Sometimes you just can't win.
