Little boys in the bathroom

What on earth does he do up there? And I don't mean that! Not that he's subtle about that either.

He can sit on the throne, or brush his teeth, and make a tremendous racket. Thumping and banging and scraping sounds. Leaping around. How do you leap around while sitting on the toilet? He's done this for almost his whole life now.

I only post this because I'm sitting down here in the kitchen, he's up there on the pot, and I'm listening to what sounds like an anvil chorus up there. No wonder parts of the kitchen ceiling have fallen off.

Shesh!

And invariably going in there to catch him reveals...nothing. He'll just be sitting there, looking at you bug-eyed.

Very creepy title...

But I completely understand what you are saying because I have a five year old.

Mine are 7 and 9, and your post is the funniest thing I've read today!

i wonder if jerry sandusky has the internets in jail. if so, Hi jerry, go hang yourself now because i know you'll find this thread if you search google.

I had to explain to my 9 year old again today that camping out on the throne and doing your homework is not appropriate in a one bathroom house.

Austin Powers..."Who does number two work for, who does number two work for"

Tom Arnold...“Yeah, that’s right, teach that piece of E36 M3 who’s boss”

I was terrified about what I would find in here.

Nothing to add other than if you have girls, wait till they discover makeup.

Everything is an adventure for little boys, just ask mine. You'd be amazed at what you can find in the toilet.

LOL, I totally didn't think of that with the thread title!

And we too have a one bathroom house.

Bathrooms are like cars and computers, you want to have more than one so you aren't left stranded by a breakdown

5 and 8 year old, same story.

hahahaha. 12 and 10 here... I swear there is a bag of hammers in there somewhere.

I have daughters, age 20 and 17. When they take a shower, I swear it's 60 minutes long, and with all the banging and thumping, I expect to find they've installed a roll cage in the tub.

Hmm..... roll cage in the tub you say? I suspect that might not be a bad idea.

You must have had a makeover at some point.....

Henry Rollins' theory is that a man's IQ drops 100 points the moment he enters a public restroom. Having seen countless gas station TP rolls soaked in piss, I agree with him.

It must be double that for women.

You've never seen horror until you've seen a womens public washroom.

True dat.

Just one experience removes the moral highground crap that men are pigs. Ladies, you ain't got nuthin on us guys.

I've not got kids of my own, but a coworker's son hangs out at our office for an hour after school. He's in grade 1 or so. He loves to sing in the bathroom. Sing sing sing sing. It's the happiest place in the world.

In reply to Keith Tanner:

My daughter did that too. I blame all the toilet training books, but hey at least they are doing it in the bath and not behind the furniture.

And third the comment about women's public restrooms, damn they bad. When my daughter got old enough to go by herself, it spooked HER.

I've no kids ... that said, I haven't laughed this hard this early in the morning in a long time ... thanks guys

Mine is four. With all the stomping and leaping, the grout between the tiles won't stay in. This is indicative of a larger problem; the tiles themselves have been jarred loose from the thinset. Don't get me started on his lack of aim. You're 40 inches tall. Your target is an oval 16 inches wide and 6 inches directly below and you still somehow manage to pee behind the seat...with the lid up?! It's like he's holding a runaway fire hose or something.
