Result of #1: Kid knows that peeing on the floor is not correct.

Result of #2: Kid unsure about where the pee should go.
3. Parent with boundries and a sense of humor: "No, you can't Pee on the floor, it's a pain to clean up and it's not sanitary. But if you really want to, go over to Travler's house."

Result of #3: Kid knows that it's not good to pee on the floor, but if he really wants to try it to 'get it out of his system' so he's tried the experience and won't dwell on wondering about it anymore, he can do it at someone else's house so his parents don't have to clean it up.
