As per Edwards’ post, the dad of three was two hours into a family road trip when he was hit by a bout of diarrhea.
At the time, he and his 4-year-old were in a gas station picking up supplies, and he had no option but to take her with him to the bathroom.
After finding a suitable throne, Edwards set about relieving his bowels, only for his little girl to turn into a makeshift cheerleader.
As Edwards himself explains, his daughter became the ‘Richard Simmons of pooping’, encouraging her laboring dad with phrases like “You’re trying so hard!” and “You’re doing it, Daddy! You’re doing it!”
It later occurred to him that she was channelling her mom’s own approach when the 4-year-old herself is on the potty, with Edwards having described her as the “world’s most wonderful cheerleader”.
It gets better, though. Halfway through Edwards’ efforts, he realized there was another man in the stall next to his – one desperately trying to hold back his laughter. The stranger finally caved when Edwards was called a “pooping-farting robot”.
For the brilliant post by Edwards, see below and try to hold back the laughs:
