RUGRATS S 1 E 4 BABY COMMERCIAL/LITTLE DUDE

Here's an episode of "Rugrats" that brings back childhood memories and contains a lot of diaper content. 

DO YOU SAY TOILET TRAINING OR POTTY TRAINING?

Growing up in Ontario, Canada, the process of teaching a child to go to the bathroom was always referred to as toilet training. As I grew up and watched TV, it seemed that potty training was the phrase used by Americans for this, though it also seems I have heard more Canadians, in the media and in real life, use the latter phrase in the past few decades.

I personally use both interchangeably. 

I once read an article in a UK parenting magazine that treated them as two separate things. It had a section about how to get a little one from diapers to a potty, and then another section on how to move them from using that potty to a regular toilet.

KIM'S CONVENIENCE AND ELIMINATION COMMUNICATION

With this scene, CBC once again proves its hypocrisy. They constantly talk about multiculturalism and cultural sensitivity, but here prove themselves to be the ignoramuses they are. Elimination communication has been traditionally practiced in Korea, so Mr. Kim would have known all about and been down with it. 

Probably in real life that scene would have been like:

"Afternoon, Mr. Kim. Just coming in to pot the baby."

"Go right ahead." 

ABSENCE OF CHANGING TABLES IN MEN'S ROOMS

I agree with this news story that there should be more men's washrooms with changing tables, but I am also wondering how many women would really make a  big deal of it if a guy, employing proper etiquette  of course, went into a women's washroom to change his kid.

Incidentally, it seems pretty screwed up the ladies room of a doctor's office wouldn't have a changing table.
