The month you were born
your grandma was here
and that's when it started
"is potty training near?!"
I told her to wait,
we were not in a hurry
but she said I am silly
and then she told me this story:
"When we were young parents
we didn't have it easy
we washed all by hand
and it made us so queasy
we taught you to pee
and to poop on command
you could go on the potty
before you could stand"
I told your old grandma
"things are different today"
but she laughed and she laughed
and then she had this to say:
"A toddler in diapers,
how can this be?
a kid that is walking
but cannot sit to pee?"
I then turned to my friends
for support and advice
How to ignore her
yet still be all nice?
I was given some tips
and told not to worry
potty training takes time,
there is no need to hurry
So I called up my mother
and gave her this line:
"Please respect my decisions,
this baby is mine"
But all the while in my head,
I had this to say:
Enough with the stories
of 'back in my day...'
