Future Plumber??

Forrest will turn three in a few months and is getting very independent. So, naturally he wants to go potty all by himself. First he tells me that he has to go and after I follow him into the bathroom and help him get situated he glowers at me and tells me that he wants me to leave the room. Fine with me. Independence is great. I am all for independence.

So the other day after we went through this routine, I made my retreat and closed the door and I started ironing or vacuuming or stuffing my face with bon bons. Eventually I realize that many minutes have passed since I left Forr in the bathroom and it was very quiet. Quiet sometimes scares me. I thought I'd better check it out.

I opened the door and nothing seemed amiss but I detected an odor in the air so I knew that some "business" had been done. The toilet was flushed and I noticed that there was water splashed all over the toilet.

"Forrest, why is there water all over the toilet?" I asked.

Forrest pointed to the plunger and said, "I got that and I put it in and I pumped it and I pumped it." Keep in mind that while he is telling me this he is doing the international sign for plunge the toilet.
