word of mom: Potty Word Patrol

Joelle Dowe | Austin, TX

A week from today we are taking a nine- hour roadtrip to El Paso, Texas. My four-year-old is obsessed with "potty words" (PooPoo, Pottyhead, PeePee Mommie, etc.), so our game that really helps curb the potty words is that we say ALL the grossest (age appropriate potty words) and have a huge laugh! They get three miles to get them ALL out of their system and not get in trouble. So they say the grossest things a two-year-old and a four-year-old can say. Our cats constantly have hairballs so they say "hairball catbox stinky" or "throwup yuckie." Usually after all that potty talk we can go on to change the subject onto "I Spy" or some other more "mainstream" roadtrip game.
