An open letter June 13, 2007

Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise , trackback

Dear children,

On the tank of every toilet in our house is a small lever. This lever is truly magical. By pushing the lever down, a small flap opens inside the tank, and the water in the bowl of the toilet whooshes away taking your excrement with it.

It’s called FLUSHING THE TOILET and you should do it more often, perhaps even everytime you have a bowel movement.

And don’t forget to wash your hands. I really would appreciate it.

Many Thanks
Your mother

Isn’t it strange? DS is in a phase where he LOVES flushing the toilet and will do it repeatedly until locked out of the bathroom. He doesn’t use a toilet yet.

same comment as midlifetraveller - S2 and H2 flush the toilet at every opportunity. Wash hands? Flush toilet. Try to use potty (just sit down for 2 seconds and call “all done”)? Flush toilet.

You get the picture. Wonder what got your kids out of that habit…
