I would love to have some young kids to read this too and see if they find this funny. I think it's supposed to be humorous, but from an adult perspective its really not funny.

We spend the day with this young kid potty training and his parents ask him to pee, he says no and 5 minutes later he is screaming to pee. This is totally how it is. The snowsuit with the 17 straps and taking 30 minutes to put on was funny. There is humor here and it's all those things that can be annoying in the moment.

I remember being a kid and my brother was this way. When he had to go, he had to go, but it came on suddenly. I had a bladder of steal at that time and I could go many hours without needing to pee. My brother would suit up for snow, go out with me and then have to go inside and I stayed outside and played in the snow.

The story is true to any parent, but I'm not sure how entertaining it might be for a kid. I would love to know how other children react to it. My suspicion is they would be bored, but how knows. Kids think their own things.

I'm sure as a grandparent, you have to go through it all over again. It must be amusing to see your kids in the position of having to deal with it, at the very least.

Joe Krakovsky Now I have reached that age where I say to my wife as we are getting ready to walk out the door, "Hang on a minute. I better go now." 😒
