Our son understands about fiber and how things you eat affect the "end of the story." He doesn't quite have the concept of time down.
The other day I hear our son yelling to his sister from the bathroom after a couple of minutes of vocal anguish. Of course, I was on a call with a client and was doing what I could to keep the client from hearing the struggle.
We'd been remiss in getting to Costco to buy his favorite dried fruit and he's been substituting cheese sticks. Bad idea.
From the toilet he's yelling for his sister to quickly bring him raisins to make it all go through. I was falling off my chair trying not to laugh out loud. Client still on the phone. I finally ended the call and was trying to explain two things:
1. we don't eat in the bathroom, especially on the toilet.
2. it is not an instantaneous reaction when you eat raisins.
He was most disappointed at both of these points and just gave up the effort for the time being.
