Boss threatens to make me start recording toilet breaks

I work for a gardener doing mostly yard maintenance. As those within the industry know, sometimes finding a toilet for your business is tricky. They aren’t always accessible at the property, leading one to find the closest public restroom. This brings us to the supposed dilemma. After a toilet trip my boss approaches me to mention that toilet breaks might have to be recorded and factored in to the hours (I get paid by him by the hour). It seemed like a passive threat but I’m not sure how to go about it if he asks for real. For the record I work hard and execute the tasks to his and our clients satisfaction. He invoices them for the work so technically that’s where the money is coming from. Any advice would be great.
