Other people talk math. Science. History. Philosophy. Art.
What do I talk about? *sigh*
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Let's not talk about the boys. *sigh*
Aaarrrgggh. I've heard they're harder to train but I'm not going to panic. My brother potty trained his ex-girlfriend's 2 year old little boy in a matter of two weeks (but it was diligence and using regular underwear).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My only first-hand knowledge of potty training was the epiphany when I realised my childhood was over (slightly melodramatic child, I was). Then I realised that I was so far the only one that knew I was potty trained -- so I peed on the carpet one last time for auld lang syne.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
You remember stuff from when you were that young, ita?? I sit amazed. (I was going to say "stand," but really, I'm sitting.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
FTR, my brother was easier to PT than me. I just couldn't be bothered to care if I had a dirty or wet diaper, plus there was the whole not wanting to communicate with the parentals, so letting them know I needing changing was right out. I was passed 3 before I was trained I think.

I was seventeen.
Kidding.
I think I was two or so, because it was the NY apartment -- I remember all our houses except for the first one (the one before NY) at least as background to a memory. By three we were already in Canada, and this definitely wasn't Canada.

I've got dim recollections of when I was three and four. But they seem almost dream like. I think that's really the time your long-term memory starts working. The memories I do have tend to be especially strong emotionally.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
so I told her if there was no pull up, all her pee and poop had to be in the potty. She said okay, and that was that.
These stories always make me slightly suicidal.

I think my earliest memory was from about age 2 1/2. We moved then and I remember pulling away from our house for the last time. But my memories from age 2-5 or 6 are very spotty.

Still working on Leif, he's gone through some phases where it seems like it was going to catch on, but then he's back. I think he's just too busy creating chaos to take time for potty breaks.
