Unchi oshiko

Here is your first Japanese lesson (for most of you)

Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGbewHT7zKU it is lovely - toilet training the Japanese way! There are such lovely moments - such as 'ooh my tummy feels weird - it's a weewee!' then on the loo, 'I'm doing a wee, I'm doing a wee - I did a wee!' Then 'Bye bye oshiko kun' which means 'See you little peepee mate!' Much rejoicing around the toilet - Mum and Dad are well happy. They have tails. Next, building blocks with Papa. ooh my tummy hurts - I thinks it's a poo (unchi) A poo a poo. Then on the toilet 'A poo a poo, I'm doing a poo - I did it' Then 'Bye Bye unchi kun' which pretty much means 'Bye bye little poo'. The rejoicing now reaches pagan heights and Mum and Dad (and tails) are like well into it and they give the son some magic pants. And they are chanting 'Pantsu pantsu' or something. Then a real boy the comes on and gives it some serious urging and pops out a poo to the well known poo tune.
My brother's friend's Mom, in a broad Glaswegian accent, used to encourage her to strain to the strains of 'NAVY BLUE'. So if you are ever finding it hard to 'pass one' then try affecting a broad Glaswegian accent and saying 'Navy Blue' (neeevy bleuuuuu). I often do it just for fun. That friend's Mum was called Nancy and had a quilted faux leather bar in her living room and was fantastic! And probably still is but it has been many many years since I have seen her.
