POTTY OR ELSE!
I'm looking back thru stories from 2006. Lots of earth-shattering stuff going on. But who wants to remember that! Here's a tale from early, early in 2006. Courtesy of local6.com website and Dallas "all my exes live in" Texas:
Family members said 16-month-old Miranda Boll's new book, "Potty Time With Elmo," was supposed to teach an interactive lesson using voice commands.
However, when the book's buttons are pressed, it reportedly says something it is not supposed to -- "who wants to die?"
"It's a sick joke," mother Angela Bolls said. "If it's a joke then it's a bad one, you know? And it's not necessary. It's inappropriate."
Bolls said she checked another copy of the same book and found that it says something completely different; "Who wants to try to go potty?"
The company that makes the book said it has had several complaints concerning the book, according to the report.

Tough love baby. If it scared the poo out of 'em then quit your gripin'.
