that's fine and all. I accept that when you gotta let go, you gotta let go...by all means, relieve yourself and lower your blood pressure, but do you have to also bend over and stick your bum out in mom's general direction and giggle as you do it (Aidan's daily treat to mom). it's a male gene I tell ya. =)

My nephew's 20, and he's not much more mature than Aidan about this. So don't expect him to outgrow that habit for at least 15 years.
