The other morning I woke up at 5 a.m. I was shocked to sudden awareness of the outside world when my son got up to use the bathroom. With wanton disregard for the proprieties, Mason turned on the light in the bathroom, left the door open, and created a light and sound extraveganza I could have lived without. And then when he was done, he dutifully flushed the toilet.
What is great at 9:00 a.m. was not such a great thing at god-awful 5:00 a.m.
He was LOUD!!!!
I was ANNOYED!!!! I wanted to be asleep, not listening to my son's adventures. Instead, my brain kicked in and I was awake for the day.
Fast forward a few days. We were up visiting my wife's parents in Woodland Park, CO. My niece (who is in the potty-training stage of life) interrupted a conversation I was having with her mother to inform us that she HAD to got the bathroom NOW!
And truthfully, that was annoying too. But in the end, it was far better to be annoyed than to clean up an accident. It made our day a lot easier. My annoyance led to a purely positive result. The annoyance I suffered was literally for my own good.
