Toilet Terror

Matilda had her first experience today with a toilet that flushed automatically while she was still sitting on the "throne." I figured this was inevitable and it seemed to be as horrifying for her as I feared. She leapt straight off the seat into my arms. Thankfully she had just finished peeing so neither of us got too messy from the experience. I tried to put some spin on it immediately saying, "Wow, that was a big surprise wasn't it?" She saw right through me and replied, "I was so scared!" Let's hope this doesn't contribute to any long term public-restroom-phobia.
