Life is like potty training...

Without going into too many details, I came up with a new analogy yesterday while I was in the thick of it.

Life is like potty training. At first, we don't really know what we're supposed to do and that's okay. But then we start to learn and little by little make progress. We still mess up and have accidents but we keep going. Sometimes we know what we're supposed to do but because we wait too long or are rebellious, we get into trouble again. And sometimes, we just plain don't want to do what we're supposed to do and as a result have to just sit in our own poop* for awhile before things get cleaned up.

And there is a lot of laundry to wash.
