Janet is going to take care of you tonight

Mommy and Daddy need to go somewhere tonight and they can’t take you along.

When you’re in Janet’s house, you need to follow her rules.

Don’t interfere while Janet is disciplining Tommy.

Helping around the house

chores = tasks that a child is expected to do regularly, e.g., clearing dishes from the kitchen table

Have you done your chores?

Pick up the toys / Put the toys away / Put the toys up

Time to clean up.

Bathroom talk, body parts

potty = small toilet (not connected to plumbing) that small children use

pee = peepee = number one = urine

poop = number two = solid excrement

to potty/toilet train a child – to teach a child to use a potty or toilet

to pass gas = the polite way for children and parents to describe flatulence (“fart” or “to fart” is rude, although it is used sometimes within a family)

“Bottom” is the most polite way to refer to the part people sit on.

“Butt” is less polite but often used within a family.

“P.U.” is usually what children say when something smells bad.

snot = yucky stuff coming out of nose

“Ew, gross!” / “Yuck!”/ “How rude!” (Means someone is being disgusting.)

yucky = disgusting toilet paper

Sentences:

Do you need to go potty?

I have to go pee. / I need to pee. (Urination)

I have to go poop./ I need to poop.

As children get older, they won’t say “I need to poop/pee.” anymore, just: "I need to go to the bathroom." Or “I need to use the restroom.” In school this is what they’d say, for example, to the teacher.

Don’t unroll the toilet paper.

You unrolled the toilet paper again!

You've been playing with the toilet paper, and I told you many times not to do that!

Don’t use too much toilet paper.

To flush the toilet

Don’t put anything but toilet paper in the toilet!

Don’t pick your nose. / Don’t stick your fingers in your nose! (adults say this very often to children).

Poop is smelly/stinky, so we need to flush the toilet.

Poop and pee have lots of germs in them, so we need to wash our hands every time after we go potty.

Wipe your bottom.

Bath time, washing up, hygiene

tissue paper = kleenex (a brand name) = disposable paper used for wiping the nose

towel rack = the bar you hang towels on

tub = short for bathtub

bathmat = could refer to either a rubber mat placed inside a tub to prevent slipping, or to a towel-like mat outside the tub for stepping on when exiting the tub

washcloth - small towel for cleaning the face

It’s no big deal if you get water in your eyes.

You need to wash your hair or it will start to smell.

If you never take a bath, other children won’t want to play with you.

If you stay in that bathtub any longer, you’ll shrivel up into a prune. (Just a colorful way to tell a child that they’ve been playing in the tub long enough.)

Don’t track mud all over the house.

What a mess you've made!

Look at the mess you've made!
