Take care of your slip

The Olympics in China are over. We have no TV (read: we're not connected to watch programmes), so we faithfully continue watching (DVDs) Charlie and Lola, Shaun the Sheep, and Piglet Babe exclusively. Our only olympic endeavour is of a different kind... you think potty training? No no, we're just getting used to the idea of the potty and keep dancing. No. Tara is well in love with watching stuff, and having the TV on for ever. She sits up in bed in morning, and without further ado declares: "Nanenbot (Bananenbrot / banana bread)! Shaun Saaf / TarlieLola / Weinsen (Schweinchen) Babe!" Aaaaaall day long!
She's two now isn't she. So now she's allowed all that was off limits before. Chocolate. Crisps. Hot Chocolate. Watching TV (DVD!). Watching TV (DVD!). Watching TV (DVD!)*. In short, bad habits of all sorts that make my life easier.


She's also allowed potty training, but not that interested yet. However, we did find this online (on the blog of some guy in China who records funny mistranslations), and think it's great advice for when Tara does decide to make potty training her next olympic feat, whether in front of the TV or not: Take care of your SLIP!**


* DVD! We don't watch TV as such, Mr TV Licensing guy, just so we're clear about that!
** Granted, I've not heard a single English person saying slip and meaning underwear / knickers /pants, but I did check a dictionary and it featured, so the joke, by dictionary definition, IS funny.
