My niece Sophie, who loves, among other things, swimming, turns two on Septmeber 23rd and has yet to be potty-trained. She'd just arrived from the community pool earlier today when she entered my room while I was singing the Go-Betweens' 1979 non-hit first single "Lee Remick" while accompanying myself on guitar. I was strumming my way to the end of the tune when she began to pee on my floor.
"Aaaay! Umiihi si Soph!"* I cried, ever the macho one.
After she finished, she was whisked away to the shower. I, on the other hand, was left to pat my carpet dry, pushing what added up to ten sheets of paper towels into the carpet with my fists.
The stranger thing about all this? I didn't mind doing it at all.
* "Aaaay! Soph is peeing!"
