Do You Pat?

This is another pee pee story. If you are turned off by a little pittle, go find something else to read....

While training our daughter to use the big girl potty she developed her own little habits. She used to go overboard with the TP--or how do I put this delicately? She was overzealous with the wiping.

Chuk and I taught her to "pat lightly' after she tinkled to avoid future discomfort. She still ritually performs her 'pat' and notifies me when she does so.

My friend Addie was on an outing with her when nature called. She and Salem trotted off to the restroom and like normal, Salem performed her 'pat'. This time, she turned to Addie and asked very bluntly, "Addie? When you go potty, do you pat or wipe?" She phrased the question in an accusatory manner, like one would ask whether or not you wash your hands after using the restroom.

Before Addie could answer, Salem stated with confidence, "Well, I pat!"

So now we know, the kid pats.
