Hey! Another question: What if when I’m driving my child wants to do number one (or two) but I can’t pull over right away - what do I say to make her wait? Like «hold it»?

Haha what a dilemma. Yes, we’d say hold on, hold it, hold tight, maybe even a fun saying ‘cross your legs’

"Try your best. I'm doing mine. I know it's difficult. I'll pull over for you as soon as I can." ("Mine" means "my best")

The normal phrasing of the question is: If I’m driving and my child has/needs (not ‘wants’) to go to the bathroom, what do I say…? ‘Hold it’ is natural.
