El flusho


Julie's sister Jen bought a book for Lyla in Costa Rica called Elmo va al baño, which is Spanish for "Elmo goes to the shitter." In addition to the cover art of Elmo standing proudly next to a toilet, the book has sound effect buttons on the side. All of this makes me very happy.

When you push the biggest button, Elmo says "¡Elmo puede usar el baño!" which means "Elmo shits in the toilet!" There's also a button that sounds like a toilet flushing. Es muy bien. That's Spanish for "the flushing sound is accurate and therefore funny."

Lyla is an overachiever, so I see no reason why we shouldn't potty-train her and teach her Spanish at the same time.
