    Sitter here.

    I have toddlers, twins. They get mesmerised by the laminar flow in the wee and try to grab it.

    I guess before I had kids I would wonder why the kids are present for this event but toddlers are super busy, super active, and super curious. You can be watching them juggle knives in the kitchen or whatever and decide to just take a moment to go wee and slink away and they just kinda teleport to your location and try to grab your wee stream.

    If you’re sitting then you have both hands available to fend off curious hands.

    The one trick that I rely on multiple times a day is redirection. “Don’t touch daddies wee” translates to “daddies wee is super interesting”. However, “Look at this amazing square of toilet paper” is received more or less as stated.
