Why is it that you usually have to pee once you find a hiding place?

Question

I was thinking back to when I was a kid playing hide-and-seek, and once I found a pretty good spot and got settled, I had to pee! Did any of you guys have that problem? Ya think it was all the excitement or what?

I'd love to hear all of your theories and comments. :)

Answer 1

Me too! When I was younger I would be having so much fun and hiding that I wanted to poo and pee.

Answer 2

I think its the excitement :)

It never happened to me though!

My mom usually has to pee everytime we stop somewhere even if she didn't have a drink all day!

Answer 3

I didn't have that problem.  But it's probably the excitement.  Or it can be the huge glass of milk your mom made you drink for lunch.  

Can anyone answer my question and the link to the other question that I asked in my question?

Answer 4

That happened to me all the time when I was little! No one could find me for a really long time, so I just came out because I had to pee so badly!

Answer 5

Well, urine is filtering into your bladder continuously all the time. It never stops.  While you're running around looking for a place, having fun, blah blah blah, you're mind is not on the feeling of having an ever-filling bladder. However, once you get settled in, there's not much to occupy your thoughts, so your senses turn inward and your body says, "Hey, while I'm not doing much... I have a kind of full bladder!" so you feel like you have to pee when otherwise you probably would be able to hold it much longer if you were occupied with other activities. :)
