Julie Jay: A few surprises near the potty - which makes Ted the same as any man I've ever dated

This week we are changing cars, potty-training, and reminding Fred that honesty is almost always not the best policy

IN THE last few days I have changed car and decided to commence potty training with Ted, because my motto in life has always been why do one thing well when you can attempt multiple things very, very poorly.

The potty training has had its ups, downs, and surprise puddles, but overall Ted has really taken to the whole process. That said, we have had a few surprises in the general vicinity of the potty, which to be fair makes Ted the same as any man I have ever dated. The intention is good, but the aim always seems to be slightly off, leaving a conspicuous trail of wee which Ted gleefully informs me “I clean up, I clean up”. Ted’s willingness to clean up bathroom messes is what differentiates him from the previous Irish men in my life who have consistently failed to leave my loo as they found it (ie, with the seat down).
