My four year old has finally learned all the necessary bathroom skills to complete a relief trip on his own.  I couldn’t be happier.  Sometimes he will call for a little help however.  I’m usually pretty responsive to these things and come when he calls.  The other night however, my lovely wife and I were engrossed in a show on VH-1 so I did not immediately respond to his call for my attention.  I did not even realize he was in the bathroom at the time.  Suddenly, the call for assistance came in a troublesome voice.  I got up and began to walk to the source.  Then, a naked child came flying around the corner, now crying, “Daddy!!! The water is coming out!”  As I rounded the turn into the bathroom it was too late.  Water had already breached the rim of the commode and had begun spilling onto the floor.  The look of terror on my son’s face was priceless.  Luckily we have tile flooring in the bathroom and clean up was easy.  I guess we’ll be reviewing the lesson on toilet paper quantity.
