1. A child'"'"'s toy comprising:

  • a toy figure representing a child'"'"'s playfellow, said toy figure including a first contact switch located in a first predefined area of a rump of said toy figure and positioned to contact a liquid when said first predefined rump area is selectively exposed to the liquid to simulate a wetting of said first predefined rump area, said contact switch being actuated each time said first predefined rump area is exposed to the liquid during said wetting simulation; and

    a sound generator for storing a sequence of sound elements that, when sequentially generated, form a sound recitation, said sound generator being connected to said first contact switch for generating a sound element of said sequence of sound elements in response to actuation of said first contact switch during said wetting simulation, said first contact switch causing said sound generator to produce a first sound element of said sequence of sound elements when said first contact switch is first actuated, and wherein upon each subsequent actuation of said first contact switch said first contact switch causes said sound generator to responsively generate a subsequent sequential sound element of said sequence of sound elements thereby producing said sound recitation upon repeated actuation of said contact switch during said wetting simulation of exposing said first predefined rump area to the liquid, so as to entertain by said sound recitation a child playing with said toy figure by repeatedly exposing said first predefined rump area to the liquid during said simulated wetting.
