I routinely pose that question to my kids. And yet, they still poop with the door open. And without the ventilation fan. I keep hoping that eventually I will get through to them. Maybe I'll just put a spring-loaded hinge on the bathroom doors and a motion-activated ventilation fan.
I've got a 2.5yo that furiously yells at me to get out when he poops, but he have no remorse trying to physically drag me out of the loo when I am doing my business. Or force me read some book for him.
I guess he is a metaphor for the surveillance state. Or the other way around. Dunno.
Ha! I remember when my son was about that age he came wandering in while I was using the toilet standing up. Just a little awkward to have your kid walk around the side and stare at your crotch while you pee. I get that it was fascinating for a little boy, but still. And then of course the next time he needed to go, he tried. Predictable results ;-).
He might have been a little younger, I don't remember precisely, I don't believe he was talking much at the age when this happened.
For sure, they act totally different in a public toilet. Very carefully locked door in that case. Hell, the first time my son used a public toilet on his own, I had to talk him through how to actually unlock the door when he finished. I tried to tell him not to latch it since I was standing right on the other side of the door, but no, -CLICK- went the lock anyway.
