I just talked to a friend about brothers. I mentioned that my younger brother, during his early teen years, had a gross habit of taking food into the bathroom with him when he went to shit. I thought it was gross. Then he tells me, as he has two kids, that he uses that as a potty training tool. He lets the kids eat candy when they poop so they're more enthusiastic to use the toilet. I mean, from a pure hygiene standpoint, it seems like a bad idea. Plus, putting something into your body as it poops stuff out seems like a sin. I dunno.
Folks with kids, feel free to comment.
