i know entirely too much about the potty and bath-tub habits of our office admin's two-year old grandson. partially because she tells me, but mostly because i overhear phone conversations (i promise you i am not *trying* to overhear).

<baby talk>did sweet boy go pee pee poo poo? gam-ma's pee-roud of you!</baby talk>

do you realize how difficult it is to write marketing copy for a corporate website while overhearing these conversations? i've had to re-write many a sentence after discovering that i had unconsciously slipped in potty words...

and to think that all this time i have been paranoid about others overhearing the contents of my personal phone calls. i have low-talked my family and friends for months out of fear of a corporate reprimand, yet daily the words "pee pee" and "poo poo" echo off the walls of the third floor. it's just wrong i tell you.
