Trained 5 year old SHOCKING

[underemployeed]

So towards the end of my long ass day a young kid comes in who is maybe 3ft tall, and no parent in sight so im thinking GREAT, what trouble is he gonna cause or absolutely no clue what he was supposed to come in an get.

Looks around for 4 seconds, walks to the bathroom, knocks, listens for few seconds, opens door goes in. I think to myself....... did I just see that?????


Then minute later a guy comes in who I ask if it was his kid and he said yeah, I asked him how old the kid was because I was shocked he pulled off several tasks most grown ass adults can't do. I was even more shocked to find out he was 5.

Most people can't read "RESTROOMS" Boldly written on the wall above the hallway to the restrooms.
Most people can't KNOCK before trying to enter, (well before trying the handle some people turn into apes when the door is locked like it gonna open that much sooner)

Best of all, there was no noticeable addition of urine to the floor or side of toilet, although his dad did say he forgot to flush, oh well 3 out 4 ain't bad, especially since normally when little kids that age and size come in, they normally flip out they can't get their way. And I have to tell them, I swear I won't be calling the cops if you discipline your kid, DUCT TAPE ISLE 2!!!!!

ah, good to see that
A. the kid was behaving (bravo parents)
B. The parent was following his child.

I know quite a few children that age who are more than capable of handling these tasks politely. It's too bad the majority of the world doesn't see fit to teach their children properly. I've had a few young kids (like 5 or 6) at the pool who had a nosebleed, and after the bleeding stops they point to the blood on the floor and ask if they can help clean it up! Like you said, too bad there aren't more kids like that!
