“So my toddler just busts right in and then tells me how I’m taking a s*** and then sits on her own potty and stares at me before handing me the toilet paper.”

And I Am Getting Swifty shared: “My bathroom doesn’t have a lock, so I get a creepy squeaky door slowly opened a crack with just an eyeball looking at me followed by soft giggles.
