We should get Disney in on this
Recently Kathleen has started a few new behaviors: she's been potty-trained, she's started really talking, and she's started imagining things.
So this morning after flushing the toilet (from the fifth bathroom trip this morning), she commented that the potty was making music and and that I should sing to the music.
Now, what song does one sing to a toilet flushing?
We're a family of nine traveling the world one country at a time.
Brandon's a diplomat and the rest of us (Ashley, Kathleen, Sophia, Edwin and Joseph, Eleanor, William, and Elizabeth) are just keeping him company.
"Joseph, YOU commudist!" when Joseph called him a communist.
"Please immigrate," whenever he wants to spin.
"Hi, Sophia!" whenever he addresses Kathleen.
"He/she's screaming," whenever anyone cries.
"Thank you you're welcome," whenever anyone tells him 'you're welcome.'
Eleanor's Wisdom
"When I'm grown up, my mommy name will be Ashley."
"I'll be the marshrutka driver and you be the lady, Mommy. 'Get out of the freakin' road, lady!!!'"
"Jesus can give me a kiss on the iPad.... We need to get him out of there."
"Thank you, Daddy, for taking me to Canada!" while on a layover in Toronto.
"Go pee-pee on the rock, teddy bear. Good job!"
What Joseph Said
"Hey, look! I'm fishing for women!" while dangling a potholder from a string.
"A grandma is a mom who is really, really, really, really, really, really old" - to his grandmother.
"When I'm all alone I'm bored and have nothing to do except talk to strangers and hop in their cars."
"I need to drink my milk so that I don't get crickets."
"Fruit comes from trees. Pigs are made of bacon and ham." after Brandon tried to tell him that bacon grew on trees.
Edwin's Edicts
"If you bring a stegosaurus to a t-rex fight, your stegosaurus is gonna get eaten."
"When I was just a baby pumpkin my mama told me, son, always be a good baby pumpkin, don't ever play with toy guns. But I shot a green bean in Reno just to see it fall off the vine."
"I made a HU-NORMOUS plane the other day. It was as heavy as a baby kitten."
"I squashed that spider LIKE A BUG!!!"
"It's okay to flush bugs. Just not ones that are as big as the planet."
Sophia's Statements
"Why do Aztecs greet each other by touching noses?"
"Mom, why do hobo mothers chew up food and spit it in their babies' mouths???'
"Where DID I put that baby?!?" - while playing with Eleanor.
"Mom, there's a lot of dying in this!" while reading history.
"Mom, come see the coffin we made for Joseph!!!"
Kathleen's Truisms
"Mom, we just made a new musical with Eleanor as the star. It's called 'Baby Get Your Gun.'"
"When Ferdinand and Isabella got married, there was a Spanish baby supernova!"
"This is like shooting a gun... only safer," while putting library books in the return slot.
"Florida, Virginia, Tennessee... Georgia?!? That's not a state!" while looking at a US map
"Sophia, Max is French... you know, like french toast sticks."

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream! hehe! She's so cute!
"Thank heavens for little girls?"
"Slip sliding away?"
"Did you air your room this morning? Did you think to spray?"
I dunno
Hey, I think Disney already sells a training potty that makes music when it's used. Kind of scary if you ask me.
