Wow....Did you teach him this...by yourself?

An ex-girlfriend had a toddler who was approaching full-blown little boyhood. One day she called me in a panic. "Herb, Herb! Please come over right now!"

"What's wrong?" I asked, almost as panicked as she was.

"I'll tell you when you get here," she said. Click.

After several tries, coaxing and talking to, she had been unable to convince her son to stand up and pee rather than sit on the toilet like women usually do. Of course, she could not show him how "it" was supposed to work. She wanted me to "demonstrate" to him how boys and men urinate.

I did so...and the boy finally got the message.

I then turned to her: "Why is he seeing you on the toilet in the first place?"
