Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

During one of my many potty-training talks with my son, Yusuf, then 3, I explained how he needed to graduate from training pants to big-boy underwear.

Mom: When you were 1, you wore diapers, right?

Son: Yes.

Mom: When you were 2, you said bye-bye diapers and wore Pull-Ups.

Son: Yes.

Mom: Now that you are 3, you’ll say bye-bye Pull-Ups and wear underwear.

Son: Yes, and when I’m 4, I’ll say bye-bye underwear!
