00:00question for the teachers i said hey i've been noticing a little bit of potty talk around our
00:06household right and um you know and they immediately say oh it's the it's the little
00:11boys in the class yeah they love potty talk but the teacher said you know what i have the boys
00:16do
00:16is if they use potty words i tell them you go into the bathroom and you use the words there
00:21meaning like they have to remove themselves from the room or their social setting if they want to
00:26use those words and usually they go oh yeah well i don't want to i don't want to leave the
00:30room
00:30no thank you i like that better than just saying like don't say that don't say that right there's
00:35a reason that it's called a potty word right so then that's where you should use it that makes a
00:40lot of sense exactly easier for a three-nager to understand exactly so i thought oh my gosh well
00:47if that's what they're doing at school that's what i'm gonna do at home smart thought it you know
00:52balance between the two she'll recognize it and not want to do it good well um it has slightly
00:58backfired on me because i told her she said a potty word while eating dinner and i told her
01:06mckinley if you want to use a potty word you have to go to the bathroom okay so was it
01:10like the s
01:11word or was it not as bad it wasn't like a curse word no no no okay okay it was
01:16it was p double o p y
01:18okay fun kind of a fun word to say objectively but i hate that word even when i was a
01:23kid i hated
01:24that word so anyway i told her if you wanted and she said okay i'm not gonna say it and
01:29then a
01:30couple minutes later she looks at her baby brother who's sitting at the table and we're all kind of
01:34sitting and she goes oh body oh and i'm like what what she jumps off her chair runs into our
01:41half bath
01:42right there next to the dining room and i just hear her go poopy
01:55she just ran into the bathroom just to say it so she could get it out of her system
02:00and then ran back and emily at this point is hands in her face trying not to laugh
02:08oh my god i am trying to be proud of this moment that instead of saying it to or about
02:14her brother
02:15she followed instructions she did a mere hour later she's coloring in her playroom we're getting ready
02:21to go to bed she sprints across the house to go to the bathroom i think she's going to use
02:26the
02:26restroom nope again potty word he he he he he runs back yes this is the best day of my
02:34life dude
02:34that is so funny i'm imagining her now like you guys are at the mall or in the airport and
02:40she's
02:41like mom dad i have to go to the bathroom and you you know log all your stuff in there
02:46and then she
02:46just goes in there says her word and it's like okay i'm good let's go got it out of my
02:51system just
02:52talked about how experts are saying not to go to the bathroom before you get on an airplane because
02:57you're teaching your body to like know things that aren't real but i i don't think it's gonna get that
03:02bad i really don't i think that this is novelty for her and it will eventually wear off so i
03:08think
03:08you just keep that's my advice for you just let her keep doing it because eventually she's not
03:13gonna be six and doing right and i just think here on the andy summer show maybe if this rule
03:19continues to be successful yeah mckinley will be the trial and when donnie thinks about using potty
03:24words we could enact this for him too i mean he does spend a lot of time in the bathroom
03:28already
03:29get all your words out there bud that's why i'm in there
03:3530
