Is this an eggcorn?

I saw a video on "American Funniest Home Videos" where a little girl is
prompted to brag about why she doesn't need diapers any more. Her older
sister whispers that she should say, "Because I'm potty-trained." The little
girl presents it as: "Because my bottom's trained!" Since that actually
makes sense, I'm thinking this is a true eggcorn. So say ye all?
