potty time

i need to understand the logistics of making a toddler potty. now i understand that boys are supposed to stand when they pee, but let's face it...my two year old does not have the aim and control required to perfectly hit that 4 inch bowl. so he sits, like many boys first training/trying. here's what i don't understand. the box said it had a sort of splatter guard. the guard is actually a half inch bump in the front of the potty cup...it's kind of like a wall. did they really expect that to work? granted, overshooting doesn't happen often, but that's because i generally watch very closely to make sure i don't get hit, and if he starts to pee, i point it down. this morning, however, he woke up a bit earlier than normal, after he was up a bit later than normal. i was tired, and didn't pay attention as closely as i usually do. and boy did that splatter shield fail me! and then to make matters worse, k thought it was REALLY funny. as he peed on me (because eventhough i realize what's happening here, my reflexes were a little slow so the floor and i got a bit wet...but i did make him finish in the cup!) he said, "ha ha mommy! funny!" anybody want to potty train my kid? he's cute and fairly obedient most days...you can keep him till he's fully trained and then i'll take him back. i don't think i'm cut out for this time in his life. and to all you sitting there and laughing your heads off...oh just you wait till you have boys! you'll get peed on for a minimum of 3 months, and it won't be funny then! ok, yeah it will...
