Son X (he doesn’t want me to disclose his name) was 3 years old. He’d been sitting on the toilet for some time. I wandered past to see if everything was … well … moving along ok.

“Yes, Dad. Bang me on the head. Like that!” (Again with the self-head-slapping - whack!)
“Son, I’m not going to hit you on the head. Why do you want me to hit you on the head?”
“To make the poo come out. Just like the sauce (ketchup) bottle”
