tell the truth in an age-appropriate way

Answer your child. Nothing the human body does is disgusting or shameful. There is no reason for your child not to be curious and definitely no reason to not answer this curiosity. If you child is asking for details you dont feel comfortable commenting on just tell the child that that is private. It's like sex. You tell your children about sex, but not about your sex life with daddy last night.

She should be open and honest (and not secretive) about her bathroom habits. How else are kids supposed to learn.
When my son was 3 yrs old he in came in the bathroom, asked what I was doing and then said, "Mom where's your penis?"
It took some effort to convince him that I really don't have one.
He didn't understand how I could peepee without one; until I told him.
I'm sure your son just wants to understand.

What the heck is bathroom habits? Sounds like something a six year old would say.

he's just curious. Answer his questions short & simply. If it makes your wife uncomfortable then tell her to close the door & not allow him in the bathroom with her anymore. Don't ever punish a child for being curious. It's in their nature!

tell her the truth in words she will understand and if she is doing it in public areas make sure to tell her that its a at home private question and you will tell her when you get home. And if its the same type of question over and over tell her that you are tired of that question and next time she asks you, you will take away some tv time or something else she likes.

She/he is ready to be potty trained! Take her/him in the restroom with you and let him/her see how it's done. They learn the best by visual stimulation. I know it's not very private, but they learn the best that way.
My 2 yr old sees me and my husband go to the bathroom, and he just watches and likes to see where everything goes, like flushing the toilet, and using toilet paper.

Sit her down and answer her questions. If you start the lines of communication now, then when the really HARD questions come up (and they will, I promise.) Your child will feel comfortable coming to you and you will feel comfortable talking honestly and frankly to her. :)

Tell your wife to pee on the child and say" if you want to be a part of bathroom time, then that's what you get, otherwise leave me alone to pee by myself you pervert"

I'm not sure what you're asking but my 18-month-old watches me go "potty" and I'm glad because I am beginning to potty-train her and want her to see it's natural and a regular thing to do.

Teach your child.
Knowledge is power.
