Potty Training Day 2: A One-Act


Day 2 of potty training.

The training is working – on me. I am being trained to ask, “Are your pants dry? Are you dry? Are you still dry? Good for you for being dry. Yay! You’re dry! How about now? Are you dry?”

I hate the sound of my own voice.

DAY 2
(11:45am. BOB is standing in the living room, playing quietly.)

ME
Are your underpants dry, buddy?

BOB
Yes.

ME
Do you need to go pee pee?

BOB
Nope.
(Beat. Sound of urine hitting the floor.)

  2. I'm glad you are getting this down, Lisa. Now, consider you will be doing this--through the age of--10. And, you'll be cleaning pee-stained and crap-stained undies until he's--well, I don't think there is an age limit on it. At least we have not found it yet. Now, go get 'em sister!

  4. My mom bribed me when it came to potty training. She was a tough cookie and never used bribing w/other things, but when it came to this area, she did and it worked like a charm. I got a Cracker Jax metal lunch box and she got to chuck the diapers and send me to school.
