I think "going to talk to the potty" is a great way to handle it and just might even pull this one with my school agers (whom are the worse ones here for that).

I'm sorry but even at 4 years old, the staring thing would kind of creep me out. Maybe I'm not suppose to say that as a dcp but it would.
