Misheard lyrics

Each night, I sing a song to Sasha as part of our bedtime routine. She usually chooses between Twinkle Twinkle, Mary had a little lamb, 5 Little Monkeys, the ABC song, or a few other songs.
Yesterday she was playing in her bedroom and singing to herself. I smiled. It was Mary Had a Little Lamb. Then I heard her version:
"She made the toilet laugh and play."
Oops! I can't quite figure her version out.

She has a bunch of funny little sayings. I wish I could remember them all. I don't know where exactly she picked up the phrase "Close the gate man", but I've been asking around as to the origin where she picked up that phrase. I'm sure it must have a story.
Her favorite things to play lately are Tea Party, and Doctor. She has a little doctor set and enjoys making each of us play the patient while she injects us with her syringe, listens to our hearts with her stethoscope, hammers on our knees, and takes our blood pressure with her toy sphygmomanometer.
There is a school playground a block away, so we take her to that for a few minutes each day. We can't stay long. Although I do slather each of us up with sunblock, the sun is very harsh and still manages to burn us quickly if we don't take care to limit our sun exposure. My husband is burned beyond lobster right now. I prefer to avoid sun damage on myself and on my kids.

Oh and Sasha really does have a huge fan club. At my mother-in-law's restaurant, there is a group of ladies that go there daily in the hopes of Sasha being there. They all absolutely adore her. They make special crafts and presents for Sasha. Sasha knows them like family and hops into their laps the moment she sees them.
