"You get what you get, you don't throw a fit" has had such success we've added a verse. We're were standing in line at Disneyland for the Buzz Lightyear ride so we could shoot Zurgs and we were there on a Friday night and the line wound around and back again. This is the longest line we've stood in except for Finding Nemo. So we were saying our You get what you get line, and then Colin said, "You go where you go." I thought, hummm, sounds like a second verse. So now we say, "You go where you go, you don't make a show." This works great for when you have to be somewhere you don't necessarily want to go but have to go (to school, to bed, to the dr., in a line, etc.) But it has also come in handy as we learn to potty wherever we can because we have to "go" right now. And you can't exactly complain about the conditions of the bathroom when it's time to go. Then the part of the phrase, "you don't make a show" has come in handy in teaching my child that now that he has learned to poop in the potty, telling the whole world about it after is not necessary. Seriously, we're looking at campers (another entry), going in and out, looking a features and I can tell that my child has to go. So we go to the office and ask to use their restroom. He decides to sit, luckily because he had to also poop. Afterwards, he told me that he's gonna tell "the guys" in the office about it. I softly said, "let's just tell Daddy. I don't think all these guys need to know." But he couldn't hold it in. The last guy at his desk by the door got to know. Colin whispered, "I'm gonna tell my Daddy I pooped in the potty." Beautiful. I smiled and thanked him. Grateful they had some Fabreeze in the bathroom. You go where you go, you don't make a show.
