“Yup, and she peed down,” said Souza, who stood up and motioned her hand down her leg. “And I have read the books, so I was like, ‘Don’t give her what she wants. She wants to piss you off,’ so I was just like, ‘Alright, aisle three needs a cleanup,’ and I just left.”
The actress said her daughter’s actions made her question what kind of child she was raising.
“Inside, I was like, ‘No, she didn’t. What kind of daughter do I have?’ So, I just pretended like it was fine, but she peed on herself to get back at me!”
