Potty training is the talk of the house these days. The majority of the talk is a steady stream of reminders:
“Doodles, do you have to use the potty?”
“Doodles, it’s time to use the potty.”
“Doodles, stop pulling on the toilet paper.”
“Doodles, get your hands out of your underwear.”
“Doodles, stop pulling on that!”<\/p>\n
But today, I took Doodles to preschool and it was pretty clear he needed to use the potty when we got there. So instead of dropping him off and heading straight to work, I shepherded him to the bathroom and settled in for the next half hour. Consider it one of the better schemes he’s hatched to keep us from leaving him at school.<\/p>\n
Here’s a random sampling of the conversation between one very curious three year old and his late-for-work father:<\/p>\n
D: Daddy, there’s only one roll of toilet paper.
D: Is the other roll missing?
D: Is the toilet paper holder broken?
D: Why don’t they fix it.<\/p>\n
D: Daddy, are plumbers make believe?
A: Oh no, I’ve paid their bills. They’re definitely real.<\/p>\n
D: Daddy, where does poop come from?
A: When you eat food, you’re tummy takes out all the energy and what’s left is poop.
D: And then the poop comes out?
A: Right.
D: Does poop come out of your p*enis?
A: It shouldn’t.<\/p>\n
A: (checking email on his treo)
D: Why are you playing with your phone?
A: I’m checking my email while you use the potty.
D: We don’t use the phone on the potty. That’s crazy.<\/p>\n
D: Daddy, why is there a drain in the floor?
A: So when they clean, the water can go down the drain.
D: Is there a shower in here?
A: No, no shower.
D: What’s at the bottom of the drain?
A: Water
D: And tea?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
