Potty Humor

It's been quite a few years since I was toilet trained, so I'm a bit rusty on how it works when it comes to my son. It probably doesn't help much that at the time I was the trainee and not the trainer. As such I'm becoming very familiar with training pants, or what is basically a diaper with a waist band and lots of padding, pull-ups as my son calls them.

One of the bad things about all this is that he lives in his own world more than reality, which is a trait he inherited from me. I'll have to apologize to him about that some day. So his attention span for toilet training is the same amount as his attention span for anything, which is gnat like. In this process we go through a lot of pull-ups, and a lot of these pull-ups have decorations on them. Spiderman, Diego, Cars, all the things that are popular with boys are on them, and they tend to have a design which disappears when they get wet.

I have to say I admire the Cars ones for sneaking in potty humor on them. How so? The ones that have the disappearing checkerd flags have Lighting taking a pit stop. There are others that have disappearing Piston Cups on them. To quote the movie, "He did WHAT in his cup!?"

Well, time to get him off the toilet, he loves to use it as an excuse to not go to bed.
