In the mailbox today there was a dance DVD, with love from the Kandoo people.
A dance DVD.
I don't know how things work in your house, but it seems like I spend a lot of time chasing the kids away from the DVD player (No! No toys in the DVD player! Quit pushing buttons!) so to give them their own DVD seemed a little convoluted. We slipped it in whilst both kids were upstairs, then called then down.
And at first, it was cute. It looked like an early-camera work Sesame Street song that didn't make the cut - groups of kids at the playground, a man strumming a guitar, a blurry shot of a policeman blowing his whistle and stopping traffic. The words were simple, and the dance easy - both my kids started to copy the screen.
B and I relaxed and watched and giggled at the kids until some new movements made by the dancers on the screen got...odd.
B looked at me. "Did that little girl just wipe her bum?"
I was staring at the screen. "I think they're all pretending to wipe their bums."
And now they were all making a hand washing gesture, followed by what looked like a 'flushing the biffy' arm flick....
Of course! Sponsored by Pampers, this DVD was supposed to teach my kids how to use the potty and wash their hands correctly. And in unison. With great shaking of booties. And all set to dance music.
So I'm guessing if potty training stalls, I'm supposed to hum a few bars of this song and pretend to be the frog and R will pick up right where the song left off?
Let me dream it would be that simple. We kandoo it too.

I cannot believe there exists a dance about butt wiping. Cannot believe it.
I think if I were you, I would get really hammered and go to a country bar and do it like a line dance. But I'm odd that way.
Would Mimi like a copy of the DVD?
Say the word...say the word...
Actually, it's more of a salsa
dancing move.

hilarious!
Who was the weirdo who thought up THAT particular dance move? And then pitched it to the company? With a straight face?
That just ooks me out. Remind me not to send off for any Pampers freebies.

ROFLMAO
Did C and R do that move, too??
I never get cool (NOT!) stuff in the mail.
too funny. We've gotten some of the promotional kandoo stuff. And the pic of the froggy wiping? I could totally do without that. I can only imagine the dance routine. I think sw. coalminer is on to something... a line dance. That would be good fun.
