Uncouth

"Hey, Dad, hurry up and let's get this started."
I walked into the bathroom to find Logan sitting on the toilet. 
"What do you mean hurry up?" I asked.  "I've been waiting for you to get off the pot!"
Logan leapt up from his sitting position and sprang into the tub. 
"I've been waiting for you to get off your pot!" he exclaimed, pointing a finger at me.  "Wait, no, forget that I just messed that up," he said, attempting to retract his zinger.  He paused.  "I've been waiting for  you to get off your...no, wait, forget that I just messed that up a second time."
I began to fill the bathtub, fearing a lengthy attempt to re-zing me.
"I've been waiting for you," he said, making a third attempt and then a fourth. 
Finally he snapped, "I've been waiting for you to get off yours!"
He laughed maniacally.

I splashed water in his face.
