Entry FeedToday is a day for grossness; something I didn't really appreciate before I had kids. I used to find gross stuff - well - gross! Now I find it funny.
We are having some potty training issues with the daughter. She has been able to pee in the potty for so long I forget when she started. She has pooed in the potty 4 times. She will either ask for a diaper, which isn't so bad, or poo in her underwear, which isn't a lot of fun to clean up. We have actually thrown out a few pairs, hoping that it would encourage her not to do it.
Today she sat on the potty waiting to poo. Here is our conversation.
"I hate poo." (said the daughter, just in case you weren't sure)
"Everybody poos." (Me - the trying really hard to be patient and supportive mother)
"Everybody?"
"Yes. Everybody."
"Does Daddy poo?"
"Yes, Daddy poos."
"Do cats poo?"
"Yes. Cats poo." (says the woman who cleans out the litter box)
"Do birds poo?"
"Yes, bird poo, too. Everybody poos." (patience wearing thin.)
"I hate poo. It not coming out."
"We can wait for it. Everybody needs to poo. It is healthy." (trying not make "poo" bad - don't want it to be "negative" for her.)
"Poo on the floor is yucky."
"Yes, poo on the floor is very yucky. Please don't ever poo on the floor." (OK, where did the idea of poo on the floor come from? Should I be checking around the house?)
"Poo on the potty isn't yucky."
"No, it isn't."
"Poo on the floor is yucky."
Mommy has now completely lost her patience. Daughter is being removed from the potty and placed in a pull-up. I am sure my coffee is cold. And I just wasted 15 minutes of my life that I am never going to get back talking about poo.
Really the joke is on you - you had to read about it!
that was funny... poo on the floor is definitely yucky.
