Potty Training and Capitalism

Potty Training and Capitalism “My Bobbie was potty trained by 13 months” The wicked lady drawled As she cast a sideways glance My direction The glance ~was noted! My 2 year old daughter toddled around The palpable silence Conspicuously diapered My wounded motherhood Bled silently As I vowed to the sky, “…as God is my witness My daughter will be trained!!!” I worked Begged Bribed Spanked Threatened But, Potty Training is a Myth!!! And… when she finally decided magically the diapers disappeared only because she wanted the cool pull-ups on TV Two points for capitalism And motherhood loses in overtime… As I smiled slyly When my second daughter was born And waited patiently For the TV to work its magic… I’m not a bad mother, I’m just a devoted capitalist!
