Father Figures: Kiddie Litter

âMy son was four years old when he and his older sister came to live with me after I remarried. It was my wife’s first real experience with having kids and she learned a lot within the first few weeks.
We were having trouble with both kids flushing the toilet/turning the light off. One time, before dinner, my son used the bathroom, but as he headed to the table, I didn’t hear a flush. Upon investigation, the light was still on but, to my surprise, the toilet was empty…
Fortunately I took a peek to the side of the toilet, where the litter box sat. What I saw will remain with me forever:
He still has trouble turning off the light but hasn’t used the kitty litter to relieve himself since that time.â
