Yesterday, after sitting and laboring successfully on the toilet, the Papaya informed me that he wanted to continue sitting there while he flushed, because he really liked the feeling of the dirty toilet water splashing his bottom. A painful admission for a mommy to hear - the Papaya was quite upset that I did not encourage his plan.
Pretty gross, but not quite as bad as a couple months ago, when I walked into the bathroom to discover that the Papaya's hair was dripping wet. After using the toilet (and before flushing), he had dipped his entire head inside the bowl. Dirty toilet water was running down his face and neck. Hopefully, his swift removal to the shower and the cold water that immediately drenched him, clothes and all, dampened his enthusiasm for a repeat performance.
Are all kids this gross? Is it innate? Or is it just the Papaya? Perhaps he's one of the few who will find satisfaction and success in a future career of sewage processing and management.

That's one of many reason's I like him so much.
A real boy!
Don't worry about him growing up to be the next Ed Norton.
You should compare notes with my Aunt Kitty in Savannah.
She is a petite, sophisticated southern lady who raised three rowdy, crazy boys.
All of them turned out great, a career Air Force man who retired as a Master Sgt, a data base engineer in D.C., and a trucking company manager.
Most of us clean up pretty good, when we marry and are housebroken.
Isn't Papaya's birthday coming up very soon? Five, I believe.
Auntie Phyllis has a package going out tomorrow.
