I don’t meant to brag, but I was potty trained at a VERY young age–I had pretty much mastered it by age 12.

But not all children are prodigies like I was. Potty training is one of the most difficult tasks for both parent and child. The parent’s job is to teach a very small person how to completely redo a bodily function that comes naturally to them. Unsurprisingly, the process can be contentious, frustrating, and very, very messy.

Like anything difficult in life, potty training has inspired some pretty great humor. Parents across Twitter have vented their potty training frustrations by writing some hilarious jokes, and we have 15 of them right here for you. So if you’re a parent struggling with potty training, or if you remember struggling with it as a toddler yourself, scroll away. And if you’re a toddler, congrats on being able to read–but you probably shouldn’t be on this website.
