Potty training is a milestone that many new parents approach with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. On one hand, the idea of no more diapers is a dream come true; on the other, the process can be messy, unpredictable, and requires a lot of patience and guidance. Parents who’ve been through it often have a story or two about the challenges they faced. But despite the occasional chaos, the moment your child masters this skill—and beams with pride—makes all the effort worthwhile.
Raising kids is full of adventures, and potty training, as messy as it can get, is just one of those necessary steps we help them navigate. This was certainly the case for one dad in a now-viral video, where he’s seen coaching his young son, Matty, through the process. But little Matty, despite his small size, has a big personality and plenty to say about the situation. As mom records the moment, Matty proudly announces, "I peed!” But when his dad suggests he might have also "pooped,” Matty isn’t having it. With a furrowed brow and a loud, emphatic tone, he corrects his dad: "I didn’t poop! I peed!”
The dad, completely caught off guard by Matty’s passionate response, starts laughing uncontrollably. "I just can’t!” he exclaims, holding his face in his hands. Matty, noticing his dad’s reaction, tilts his head in concern and asks, "Daddy?”—adding an extra layer of cuteness to the already hilarious moment. The video captures the perfect blend of toddler determination and parental amusement, reminding us that even the messiest milestones are filled with laughter and love.
