Mary, Mary quite contrary/Scary auto-flush toilets

My kid is so belligerent and oppositional she'll even argue with a See N' Say.

See N' Say: "That's an owl. Hoot-Hoot."
AKA: "No it's not."
(spin again)
See N' Say: "That's a rooster. Cockadoodledoo."
AKA: "No it's not."
(spin again)
See N' Say: "That's a bunny. Boing-Boing."
AKA: "No. It's. NOT! I don't LIKE Bunnies! Get another one!"
(spin again)

The See N' Say has much more patience with Ms. Contrary than I do.

In other news, why were loud, super-suction, auto-flush toilets invented? To destroy me? Obviously. Just finally starting to ease away from the training potty and onto the big potties out in public (nice not to have to rush home for potty breaks)...when we came across a very aggressive auto-flusher on a flush frenzy, no matter if the sitter is done or not. And we were NOT done. Mid-stream! AND, we happen to be terrified of loud flushing potties as it is. So that was very traumatizing, and, thanks to modern potty technology, it looks like we'll still be rushing home to use the quieter, friendlier potties at home for awhile longer.
