My mother claims that all she had to do to potty train me was to dangle a pair of white ruffle underwear from Saks Fifth Avenue in front of my face. (Note: the Saks part was important to me.)
I’m not sure I believe one hundred percent the facility of her smashing toileting success. She has a selective memory when it comes to recalling the early child-rearing years, favoring heroic tales of giving birth to me and then cooking an elaborate Thanksgiving meal days later versus disclosing that she hired a baby nurse with my sister. But, I digress. At the end of the day, I’m my mother’s daughter and I bought these Stella McCartney days-of-the-week undies to bait my son into giving up diapers. Really, my son could care less that he was wearing designer underwear. But, it worked. Kinda sorta. Next, I’m hoping to entice him with this set from Surface To Air. Because, in the future, it will be very “important” for him to answer with conviction: boxers or briefs?
l-r: DAYS OF THE WEEK UNDERWEAR, $81.00, Stella McCartney Kids; SURFACE TO AIR BOXERS, about $120.00, Noeuf.
