What is it about little boys?

Most of you know that before our move to the city just over a year ago we lived on a ranch.  My oldest children didn't really understand or appreciate indoor plumbing until our move.  Peeing outside was strickly forbidden after the move.  And it was almost too much to bear.  But they have been well trained and now use the man made facilities on a regular basis.

Now my 3 year old...that is another story.  Having been potty trained in the city, he is fully aware of the toilet and its use.  Imagine my surprise when I was sitting on the couch and he opened the door...then I heard the sound of "water" hitting the pavement.  I leaped from the couch and stepped outside where sure enough he had relieved himself on our porch????  We live upstairs; thankfully no one was downstairs to catch the run off!  I explained that we don't pee outside and we never pee on the concrete.

The next day we were outside playing and he drops his pants right there for everyone to see.  I hurried over and said "At least go behind the bush!"

It must be in their nature. LOL!

LOL! Yes, I think it is in their nature. It's just too easy and too much trouble to go inside. Of course, down here in Ecuador it's usually cleaner outside! It's still very common to see men peeing in public even in the city. You can always tell when you've walked near a local "watering hole." Some are so bad you don't even want to open your mouth to breathe!
