Snip.

When I lived in Hong Kong from '97-'99, they were still doing 
this.  I remember the day when the toddler, in nothing but a shirt, 
stopped to relieve himself.  There was the puddle in the middle of 
the floor, Mom or Auntie descended in a "oh no, what did you do?" 
sort of attitude, cleaned it all up and moved on.  He wasn't in 
trouble, but understood that what he had done was not the right 
idea.  I don't think he was big enough to even climb onto the toilet.

I'm sure they wear diapers in public, since they wear pants GRIN.

Interesting thought
