Zoot Suits

According to Dr. Spock, you should never use the words "dirty diaper" when commenting on your child's bowel movement because it can give your little person a complex. My husband and I decided to head off this issue from the get-go, and since our son has been about 3 months old we've come up with a much more fun and friendly moniker: the "zoot suit". As in, "What do we have here?  It looks like a zoot suit!" or "Why, no zoot suits today?  Let's get out the prunes and oatmeal!" Employing this terminology should serve multiple purposes: in addition to boosting our child's self esteem, we will have given him a code word to use when he inevitably reaches that age when saying words about bodily functions is hilarious. This is a sensitive subject in our family, since my husband once called a lady a "fart" when he was about 3 years old.
