Nick Washington, a social media influencer, shared a video of himself teaching his two young sons how to properly wipe their tushies, using two balloons tied to a chair to simulate the experience of wiping. The boys look eager to learn as they sit on stools and watch their dad.
Washington grabs a roll of toilet paper, and begins to demonstrate what to do.
"Wipe between the buns!" he says as he glides the toilet paper over the balloons. He repeats the action three times, making sure that the kids understand that being thorough is important.
He then turns the demo on the boys, guiding them to wipe between their own "buns." The older of the two boys even tries to wipe his sibling's buns, but dad reminds him to keep to himself.
"Some adults need this training ," one person commented.
"They got a kick out of 'Betweeeeeennnn the bunsssss' Good session. They might get on a few things but good session lol," another said.
"Lol he was making sure his brother was cleaned between the buns too ," another added.
Some people took issue with Washington's recommendation to fold the toilet paper though, which was hilarious.
"Noooo DROP IT. They’re too young for the fold it part ," one person warned.
"We ain’t folding twice tho. ," read another.
In 2019, an unidentified teacher went viral on social media for using the balloon method. Many people praised the teacher for her inventive way of teaching, adding that it's useful to have a teacher reinforce a lesson many parents have to tackle at home.
