(Quick! How many of you read the title and remembered Eddie Murphy's one hit wonder "Party All The Time"? If you did, I'm sending you this CD because you, my friend, were undoubtedly a part of the Elite Eighties).
And now a word from our sponsor:
I'm not one who enjoys shamelessly plugging products (oh wait, wasn't I in advertising? ) but Daily Candy has promoted the coolest kiddie product to date: Zeets.
Zeets are disposable cardboard seat covers for public bathrooms and if you have a toddler, they're the absolute shit.
I can't tell you how frigging disgusting it is when I have to take my little one to a public toilet. He's in the throes of potty training and while I'd rather just have him let it fly in his die-dee, I can't because he's literally this close to being fully potty trained. So I cringe whenever we're out in public (which is every single day, for hours on end) and he proudly says "poo poo?" It's uncanny, too--just when I'm ready to bite into a sandwich or eat a salad, he's gotta go, which for me has become a new appetite suppressant.
I think I would die if I had the ability to see all microscopic bacteria and if I did, I most certainly wouldn't use public restrooms. As it is, my skin begins to crawl just opening a stall door, let alone, God forbid, I see someone else's waste either in the toilet or on the seat.
It never fails either--from out of nowhere my kid sprouts tentacles like an octopus whenever we go to the bathroom and he touches everything in sight. What's worse is that his tukus is so small, he'd most definitely fall in if I didn't hold his hands when I put him on the seat. So we both are ready for full-body delousing by the time he's done.
So thank God someone came along and finally made life a little easier for us germaphobes. Prior to discovering Zeets, I was seriously contemplating on keeping the kid in diapers until he turned 20.
Word of advice: Zeets is only available online through two different e-tailers: Breast Feeding Express or Potty Training Solutions. BFE is a huge rip off because they charge $5.00 for each package you buy for shipping, which is ridiculous. So unless you live in one of the eight measly states that carry this product, ordering through Potty Training Solutions is the way to go. But beware--they'll be on backorder for God only knows how long.

The scene tonight: Friendly's, in Convent Station. Going there for dinner with my sister and her family, because she doesn't want the stress of cooking dinner. Unfortunately, one of the fryers was broken and we were there for 45 minutes, waiting, which meant at least one trip to the potty. My 2 year old nephew says 'potty' all the time (lol) and says it constantly, and my sister is the envy of day care, when we picked the kids up before dinner she was stopped by several mothers, wanting to know her secret. I'm standing there, listening to my sister earnestly explain that there is a child potty in every room in the house (one is even a musical potty shaped like a throne) , and that she lets my nephew in the bathroom when she is going to the bathroom, or when his 5 year old sister is going, "it's a regular family potty"
ah, children. reason 4,387 i shall not be having any
