Sometime new parents can go a bit too far off the deep end, but this is the craziest
shit I've ever seen:
His mother took the diaper-less tot to a tree in the yard, held him in a squatting position and made a gentle hissing sound — prompting the infant to relieve himself on cue before he rushed back to play.
Dominic is a product of a growing "diaper-free" movement founded on the belief that babies are born with an instinctive ability to signal when they have to answer nature's call. Parents who practice the so-called "elimination communication" learn to read their children's body language to help them recognize the need, and they mimic the sounds that a child associates with the bathroom.
Is this what thousands of years of evolution have brought us? Crapping in the yard? I bet none of these moms has a pooper scooper, either. But even bigger than that, is this the lesson you want your child to learn? Anytime you need to go to the bathroom, you just whoop it out and let 'er rip?
And be sure and check out the pictures, too. Some real classics.
