I don’t often write about my family’s daily happenings, but this incident was too funny not to relate.
I encourage my dad to let my three-year-old son go into the bathroom with him. Between my partner and I, we can teach our son to throw a ball, throw a punch, build a bookcase, follow a football game, and other such “manly” things, but we fall short when it comes to the subtle details of toilet procedures when the plumbing is different.
The two of them were in the bathroom together today, and my dad was standing up using the facilities. As his output began to slow (so he related to me afterwards), my son began thwacking him on his back pants pocket. When my dad asked what he was doing, my son replied, “Knocking the drips off.”
I am glad you decided to share this story. Made my morning.
the intricacies of plumbing! my wife and i asked some questions of a friend of ours who was captive in our car on the drive from quebec city to toronto earlier this week. because, though our son is only 3 months old, we like to gather info on common bathroom practice in preparation of needing it! thanks for a great story!
