Twinkle, Tinkle

Tonight, Ryan, Eva, and I went to grab dinner and then walked around a little shopping center.  It was nice outside and we felt the need to walk off our dinner.  It was enjoyable, but Eva was very tired and was definitely ready to leave before we were.  In the car, on the way home, Eva started singing herself to sleep.  She does this frequently and we always figure out what she's singing.  Tonight was no different.  Only, tonight's song made us laugh uncontrollably and I was literally in tears.

Some background.  When I was in 7th grade, my two best friends and I made up a silly, jr. high-humor song.  It is sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and it goes like this:

Tinkle, tinkle in the potty

This is how I drain my body.

When I'm through, I wipe my booty

To get off old crusty doody (remember, 7th grade... don't judge.)

Tinkle, tinkle in the potty

This is how I drain my body.

I didn't realize in 7th grade that this song would come in handy when trying to potty train my firstborn.  So, I sing this song every time Eva sits on the body.  (And don't worry, Mom, I did change the "crusty doody" part.)  :)

More background.  Recently, Eva started calling her bottom her "business" because when her daddy gives her a bath, he says, "Come here and let me wash your business."  

Back to tonight, we were all tired, so it was quiet.  Until Eva started singing her version of "Tinkle, tinkle in the potty."  Her version went something like this:

Tinkle in the potty

Tinkle in the potty

This is drain body

Tinkle in the potty

Tinkle in the potty

This is business

She kept singing this over and over again.  It was hilarious!  We could not stop laughing.  Not to mention that her version also had a tune all its own.  Too bad I didn't record it, so you could all enjoy the hilariousness of the moment.  Hopefully this story did it some justice.
