Conversation in the Bathroom

Like many newly potty trained boys, Mr. TOF has quite the fascination with what he puts in the toilet.  After he’s finished each time, he takes a close examination of the toilet before flushing it away.

The other day he was eating a banana for a snack and realized he needed to go to the bathroom.  We rushed upstairs.  We put the banana on the sink.  He did his business.

Mr. TOF:  Now baanana poopy.

Me:  What?

Mr. TOF:  Banana no wettie.  Banana poopy.

Me:  What?

Mr. TOF:  Now banana poop.  (points to toilet)

Me:  Oh honey, bananas don’t poop.

Mr. TOF:  Banana poop now.

Me:  Bananas just are.  They don’t poop.

Mr. TOF:  Why?

Me:  Bananas are a fruit.  People poop.  Fruit doesn’t need to poop.

Mr. TOF:  But why?

Me:  That’s just how it works.

Mr.  TOF:  Why?  WHY?  But why and why and why bananas no poop, Mama?
