Rachel Ray wants you to go potty on the toilet

My daughter has developed some sort of attachment to Rachel Ray. The food channel was on one day and she got really into 30 minute meals, started talking about what Rachel was making and wondered during every commercial break where Rachel went. Today we were eating dinner and she asked to watch Rachel Ray then couldn't stop saying frittata (which is what Rachel was making). Now I'm not the biggest fan of Rachel's, I think she's a tad overexposed. But I'm pretty much wanting to use every weapon in my arsenal to re-focus on potty training and if Rachel Ray is the ticket then I'm all for it. I told the little one that Rachel Ray really really wants her to go potty on the toilet. Yeah, the topic that never dies. After being pretty much potty trained my daughter decided that she was over it. And really it seems just for me. When we were visiting my family she repeatedly told my mother she had to go potty and went accident free (except for that time she pooped her pants while sitting on grandma's lap and grandma didn't notice).

I think it's just some sort of big scheme to fuck with me and I am envisioning years of teenage angst and door slamming. Today we were driving and she said "someone has to go potty" so my husband and I said "do you have to go potty?" and she said "no, someone else has to go potty" so I thought maybe I could trick her into it "is it someone you know?" I asked. "No" she said. It's just as well I suppose since my washing machine decided to die today. Stopped spinning and draining. With a load of towels in there. So yeah, that's awesome. I don't mean to bitch and moan but SERIOUSLY the universe can stop screwing with me now. You don't have to answer that Jon Hamm dream, something smaller would be fine, like say, Rachel Ray stopping by to potty train Ellie.
