"In the loo, trying to train Charlie." Arthur entered the lavatory, and almost burst into laughter at the sight of his wife trying to hold a squirming, moaning, Charlie on the toliet.
"How's it going?"
"Absolutely horrible. He won't sit still and he wants to go back outside, but every time I let him off, he goes and messes some place."
"Mol, I found a charm that may help you." They had been trying to train Charlie for several months now, but he wasn't interested. Bill had been easy, Molly had put him on the loo every fifteen minutes until he produced something, then praised him. She would then give him a drink of juice and start the process over again. Within a week, he was trained.
"Really, what is it?"
"Well, you know the door-sealing charm 'colloportus'?"
"Yeah, but how is that going to help?"
"I've modified it for you. It will seal Charlie to the seat until he accomplishes something you can praise him for."
"What's the incantation? I'm desperate."
"'Colloseades'."
"Thank you darling. What would I do without you?" Molly asked, after performing the charm.
"I don't know, Mol. Anyway, are you feeling all right?" Molly had recently learned she was pregnant yet again, and was due in September.
"Fine. Now if only I could get this wiggly urchin potty trained."
"I'll take over for a while dear. Go spend some time with Billy."
"Okay, have you seen him?"
"I believe he is in the family room." Arthur replied, giving her a kiss.
She found Bill in the family room and set him in her lap so she could read him a story before starting dinner.
