In the news today is a young children's book called Potty Time With Elmo. The book has different buttons that, when pressed, emit Elmo's helpful, childlike voice instructing kids on how to use the potty. But is he saying something else?

Uh oh! Who has to go?

That's what the publishers of the book say is being misheard by some readers/listeners. Apparently, there are a few defective books out there where the audio file on this particular phrase sounds ... different. Some parents and their very young children have heard

Uh oh! Who wants to die?

Now whatever the reason behind this flaw in some of the books--whether it was the result of some disgruntled employee getting his revenge, or the readers hearing something that isn't there, or that it is a corrupted file as the publisher says--whatever the case may be, I don't want to hear it. I'm kinda scared just thinking that it's out there.

However, it is intriguing to think that Elmo may be contemplating his own mortality.
