Ttori ttori

“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Ma is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Matthew 24:44.

Ttori ttori. That’s what Sebin says when she wants to go pee. It’s been some months since we potty trained her and now she could go throughout the day without a diaper on. The only time she’d wear it is at night when it is time for bed. She wouldn’t wear it during daytime nap because she can hold herself pretty well.

During the day while she is playing she would say “ttori ttori” and go to her little toilet and pee. But you know what happens when she is having so much fun playing? She will hold her pee as long as she can. She wouldn’t go even when we can tell that she wants to pee. Her body language says she wants to go. She would start twisting her legs or start running back and forth in the living room, but she wouldn’t go! We tell Sebin, “Go ttori ttori right now!” And she wouldn’t listen. She is just having too much fun now and she doesn’t want to be bothered.

At last she can’t hold it anymore. She would run to her little toilet and blast! But you know what, sometimes it’s too late and later I find that her pants are slightly wet. Hyemi and I would always tell her, “You should have gone earlier. It’s ok. You can play again after!”

We can make a similar mistake in our life as we dearly await for Jesus to come. It may be just too fun in the world that we wait and wait before we let out our sins of our lives. We hold it as much as we can, saying it’s not the time now, that we can hold it a little bit longer. Cleansing ourselves from our sinfulness must be done now. There is no time to wait. We should ask Jesus to clean us now. If we wait, we might just wet our pants and it’s too late…
