"Poop goes in the potty.
Puh-poop goes in the potty.
yeah.
Poop goes in the potty.
It doesn't go on your friends.
It doesn't go under the table.
yeah.
Poop goes in the potty.
Puh-poop goes in the potty.
..."
Oh! Well thank god we cleared that up! I was beginning to think the proper place for poop was in college lectures, newspapers, and congressional debates.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what is stuck in my head after tonight's session of babysitting. It's a hip-hop style song on a CD of contemporary children's songs.
So much for the songs of yore, that we all remember so fondly. They have been replaced by such gems as, "Poop Goes in the Potty."
Is this something that parents these days are having difficulty teaching, so much that a producer of children's music felt it would be good to record a song about it? I just can't shake the vision of, say, Jay-Z potty-training his kid, standing before him in the bathroom bustin' out with: "Poop goes in the Potty! Yeah, poop goes in the potty! Boy-eeeeee". Or better yet, a 40+, balding accountant.
SNL are you listening?? This skit just writes itself.
Back to my research paper....
Don't forget kids: It doesn't go on your friends. Puh-poop goes in the potty! yeah!
