Kiddies first learn to be 'potty trained'. For females everything is 'self-contained' and fir the boys well they got to take aim, so as to please not only their selves, but the mommies and daddies. Take for instance a boy that is about 1.5 feet tall, a giant bowl that is like a swimming pool. Then de boy got to take aim just right. Some cry some laugh...
Of course humans are animals just like whales are animals. Animals have latrines to prevent spoilage of their nests, even microtus does urinate outside. It must be a good feeling for the mommies and daddies (even the uptown babies that can afford huggies) to be able to instill the cultivation of a sense of virtue in their offspring.
The inner 'lawgiver' in animals is no different than in humans i suppose. Both are acts based on desire (in animals it is called animal values or 'act-concept')
