a question 99% Chinese could not answer?

Believe it or not, this question is an extremly difficult one for Chinese?

See the following dialogue:

Mom : Where are you, honey?

Jimmy : What's up? I'm in the toilet peeing/shiting.

I wonder where it's the way native speakers talk.

thanks

Possibly, if he were quite a rude little boy! Actually, peeing is not too much of a taboo word, is fairly tame and although we normally try not to be too specific about these things you can use it. ******** is very vulgar and little Jimmy would probably get a slap for it!

Yeah, I am wondering that too. How about simply saying that:'I am in the bathroom.'?

and that is what Chinese say, there are so many ways to express. Chinese language is never as straightforward as english!

A little kid talking to his mom would mostly likely say:
-I am peeing. I have to go pee. Poo-poo coming.
-I am pooing. I have to go poo. Pee-pee coming.
-I have to go potty (could be either)
-I have to to the bathroom.
These are perfectly okay to say.

As kids become (the dreaded) teenagers, they tend not to share with you the specifics.

Hi, everyone! I appreciate your comments. On a second thought, I remember to hear the phrase "get a monkey pee on one's back" on TV. Is there really such a phrase? If so, what does it mean?

thanks
