Parent Tip of the Day - Do Not Say the Word "Diarrhea" in Front of Your 3 Year Old

Okay...so we were coming home from a wedding in Minnesota this weekend and we were about 7 minutes from home when Cael panicked because he had to go potty. We stopped at a gas station and I took him to the restroom. After he went potty I made the mistake of saying "Uh oh, sweetie you have diarrhea." Well, Cael thought that was the funniest word he had ever heard. When he got back in the van he kept singing over and over "I got an idea about diarrhea"!!! I read somewhere that it is a sign of intelligence if children know how to rhyme words. I am not sure if this counts :)

Cael is a smarty pants. It "is" a sign of intellegence when children can rhyme. I love that he rhymed to "diarrhea"...I didn't know you could rhyme that word...
