It’s a universal truth: no matter how famous you are, toddlers will keep you on your toes every single day. Every parent has their own challenging stages of childhood—some dread the sleepless nights with newborns, while others find the sassy outbursts of older kids tough to handle. Yet, one experience that unites all parents is the chaotic journey of potty training, which can be frustrating at best. Amidst the chaos, there’s often humor to be found, and The Mountain captures one of those lighthearted moments in a recent Instagram post.
In his latest update, his youngest daughter, Tia, made it known that she needed to pee and opted against using her diaper. A promising sign, right? “She refused to go in her diaper (can’t blame her!) and asked if she could pee on the grass,” he wrote. “So, we’re on private property, and daddy takes her to pee-pee on the grass.”
But then, things took a turn for the comical. Tia decided she wanted to be picked up because she was afraid of the “Lava Monster,” leading to a classic toddler negotiation. “I had to hold her while she peed… all over my new white sneakers 😂💦.”
Ah, the joys of parenting! Kids often concoct these imaginative fears, part of their whimsical childhood world. Mine has a profound fear of the toilet flush and the bathtub drain—because who knows when the water might spiral them away? No matter how much we explain, these fears remain, so we cater to them, sometimes at the cost of our feet getting a little damp.
While some critics tried to shame him for the incident, the majority found his experience relatable and amusing. Johnson frequently shares both the funny and sweet aspects of raising his three daughters, especially his younger two. On Christmas, he posted about the struggles of playing with Barbie, writing, “Post Christmas, ‘Daddy come play Barbie with me,’ which really means… Daddy holds this Barbie for a solid 45 minutes while baby Tia completely ignores it.”
Indeed, as a parent, you have to be present without actually playing. The Mountain is also quite skilled at doing his daughters’ hair, a talent every dad should embrace. Regarding the pee incident, he brushed off the negativity: “If I ever find this ‘Lava Monster,’ I’m taking care of business. Honestly, I’d choose this memory over my sneakers any day.”
