While Princess Cadance was away from home, Shining Armor was potty training his daughter Flurry Heart and figured that the best way to do so was to teach by example. Since he had to go potty himself, he saw this as an opportunity for her to learn. When Cadance returned, she saw that the father and daughter were still on their thrones and she had some mixed feelings. On one hoof, Cadance was glad that Shining was playing an active role in potty training their daughter but on the other hoof, she didn't really support the idea of Flurry learning by watching her Dad, mostly because she would pick up Dad's bathroom reading habit which Cadance didn't particularly like as it would result in her spending far too much time on the toilet.
