From what little I recall, I didn't like being potty trained, though my nick name at the time, "Wade Chappy," suggested I really needed it. After all, potty training was terribly inconvenient and took me away from really fun things like playing in the sandbox and being knocked senseless by the neighbor. But, from what I am told, I made the best of it, and used my time riding the porcelain duck (see picture below) to launch my failed career as a comedian and singer. My siblings will recall that my favorite song entailed the repetitious and plaintiff refrain of "I want a wah wah" (evidently, I was quite thirsty all the time). Here I am brought to tears from the indignation suffered in having my picture taken at the least opportune moment.
The time I spent perched atop the white duck seemed interminable back then, and now that I am 60 years old, it seems interminable once again, though I have replaced the duck with a more traditional commode. Ah...the circle of life. LOL
