Has Anyone Seen Elmo???

[jonnyGURU]

When potty training a young one, it's common to "reward" the child by calling their favorite TV character.

For example, your child uses the potty on their own, so you call up a friend/family member, tell them that your child used the potty and that you need for them to act like Anthony Wiggle for a few minutes, congratulating the child on their success.

So today I get this call....

"Hello, is Elmo there?"

Obviously a wrong number since my nieces are both potty trained.

But I didn't want to destroy some young child's dreams of talking to Elmo on their first go at a solo on the potty.

So I put on my best Elmo voice and say....

"Hi! I'm Elmo! Did you use the potty all on your own?"

Oddly enough, I only heard a click on the line.

Is Elmo a real person's name?

Imagine Herbert (the pedophile) from Family Guy saying "Hi! I'm Elmo! Did you use the potty all on your own?" for hilarity.

It was an adult's voice. But the adult always places the call.

See, I have a 3.5 year old and I went through the same thing.

The first time she ran to the potty on her own, I called up Uncle Rich and had him act like a Wiggle. I had to be Elmo for their oldest girl.

So when I get a call from someone asking for Elmo, I just thought it was that type of call.

No if they asked for Emo, I would've said, "You ever wonderrrr.......???"
