I sometimes think that stuff is done on purpose

The definition of torque - witnessed when the young lad pushed down to pee and his heels came off the ground.

That's how they hit the tank while aiming at the water.

No kids, but my apartment is under a daycare... I can somewhat relate

it's under a LOT of pressure in that little body

You also don't ever talk to them when they are going, for they turn to face you. Learned that the hard way. Got the wet shoes for it.

Learned too that if you then bellow over having your toes annointed, this causes them to tense up. Tension tightens the stomach muscles. Which raises the trajectory elevation...

Now you're wet to your knees. Not an improvement.

When they get to be teenagers, leaping around and singing will seem like pretty tame bathroom activities.

This thread is hilarious. My son is 4 and he already pulls some of the mentioned stuff. It's apparently fun to slam the toilet seat down with blatant disregard for eardrums or the fact that it's porcelain... little bastard.

Having worked in a daycare through college, all I can say is 'ohhh, you poor tormented soul'.

Hmm, sounds like there's a market for a soft-close toilet seat.

Old valve springs epoxied under the seat.

Toilet seat needs new suspension. Pro-Rated is good if you put a front upper sway bar on and leave the rear suspension stock.

I had to clean bathrooms at my first job. I remember the first time I did it. I went into the men's room first. I walked out 5 minutes later thinking, that wasn't so bad.

And then I walked into the Ladies' room. OH MY GOD.

Little boys do learn after having the lid land on something. It only takes once.

Turns out you CAN already get soft-close toilet seats. One of the claimed benefits is that they "help avoid injury"...

I thought about putting some old trans mount bushings under the seat, but the wife wouldn't allow it. Something about 'no car parts inside the house' or some junk.

Got a kick out of this one. My son may well be growing up, but he's still a kid some times.

What better way to watch TV than from inside a stack of tires.

You have tires in the living room in front of the TV. Given the environment he's obviously grown up in, it's the logical thing to do.

Yeah the soft toilet seat helps at your own home-but someone needs to say a prayer for the parts of every boy or man who, used to the soft close seat at home, unintentionally smashes the lid down everywhere else he goes.
