Toilet rings are a phenomenal invention. You can plop one on any toilet and put a small child on it without worrying that he or she will fall in the toilet. Also, toilet rings eliminate the need for those little children’s potties. Those potties look super-cute sitting in the store, but there is one huge drawback—you can’t flush them. You have to empty the potty yourself. It’s disgusting. I won’t elaborate, but things splash and stick and it can take some effort to get the potty clean. You often see your child’s turds in excruciating detail.
So we were thrilled to discover the toilet ring because it put some distance between us and the excrement. That is, until our son decided to put the ring on his head. I guess he thought it was a good look. My husband immediately took the toilet ring away. My son threw the fit of the century. He wanted his potty back and he wanted to wear it on his head. My husband said, firmly, “I don’t care how much you cry; I’m not letting you wear a potty on your head.". My son continued to throw a tantrum. I tried to explain that potties are for butts, not heads. He yelled "Potties are too for heads." Great. Another impasse with the three-year-old.
