Sure, there are plenty of moments in our lives when we say, “Now I’ve seen EVERYTHING!”
But as I was doing my morning blog cruise, I came across an ad for these …
“Pee&Poo – the #1 and #2 cuddly toys, sweeping the globe. Loved by children and adults alike. The dazzling duo from Sweden helps stop the drama of potty training in a disarming and fun way.”
At least that’s what the website says.
Man, NOW I know why Rachel wasn’t potty-trained until she was 3! If only I had had a couple of these cuddly pieces of human waste, I’m SURE she would have taken to the potty much more quickly!
Either that or I would need to be saving up for the therapist’s couch now:
Rachel at age 25: I don’t know why I have these recurring dreams about running out of the bathroom in my parents’ house, screaming.
Dr. X: Is there anything different about the bathroom you’re talking about?
R: Not really. It’s your usual, run-of-the mill bathroom — commode, sink, tub, shower. And my mom says that when I was still in diapers, I used to be so happy to play in there with Pee and Poo when I was ….
Dr. X (Interrupting wildly): You mother let you do WHAT!#^$&%*
I really need to find the Swedish study that promoted these little guys as positive toilet training tools!

How gross. Like that new toilet cartoon movie coming out. I forget the name of it though.

Um, eww. I’m disturbed on so many levels.
Politics – It’s flushed away. Saw an ad for it on TV last night & my husband I spent far too many seconds debating whether the slug looking things are supposed to be animated poo.

Yes, I agree with everyone’s comments … this was SO rong! But it was too weird … I had to share with someone!

What will Sweden will think of next? I am giving pause to using these with my son. He is traumatizing me by his utter refusal to potty train. Maybe this could be my ultimate revenge! Great blog!

Ewwww. Yes, I like to teach my kids to cuddle with Pee and Poo. Play with them in the bath! Take them to bed! Yeahhhh…. not.

Nothing like this to make a newbie mom fear potty training before she even begins…
