Why I can safely buy stock in Timmy's




Tonight marked the 12th successful poop on the potty in a row. The kid seems to know just the right time (in his room, after bedtime has commenced and occasionally just after nap time has commenced) to go in his little ensuite bathroom. The ensuite is actually the Baby Bjorn potty (he hated the IKEA one) tucked in the corner. He just loves it there. He's been wonderfully successful and reaping the rewards. I can tell for sure that he has the knack since the tone at the Timmy's in our neighbourhood has changed in its tone. We stop by the next morning after a successful go on the potty and it's usually the first thing that he mentions after we even see the car.

About a week ago the conversation went something like this:
'Tim Hortons, can I help you?"
"two chocolate tim bits please (with a note of elation from the back seat)'

(long pause)
".....uhhh, will that be all???'
'yes, thank you'
(longer pause)
'um, that'll be 36 cents (with a snicker). Please pull ahead'

The conversation this morning:
'Tim Hortons, can I help you?"
"two chocolate tim bits please (with a note of elation from the back seat)'
(immediately)'that'll be 36 cents, enjoy your day!!'

I'm positive that they're watching from the inside as the same dad gives the same order to the same little boy in the backseat of the same car at about the same time each day. I wonder if they've seen it before??

Way to go little buddy!
