when?

When will the word poop, the thought of pooping, the act of pooping ... and poop itself ... stop being the focus in our home?

When will our children be old enough to understand that it is not acceptable to pick up a rabbit poop, stick it in their mouth and say "YUM DEWICIOUS!"?

When will our children be old enough to understand that poop does not belong on their arms, legs, face and/or bedroom wall?

When will our children be old enough to understand that when so deposited in a toilet, poop is to remain in the toilet and is not something that needs to be fished out of the water and held high above their head while they shout "Yay I did it!!"?

When will Charlie and I learn that taking little children to Costco is enough of a challenge in and of itself and doesn't need to be complicated by allowing little children to walk instead of ride in a cart where they are securely safely contained?


Because when these little children are free to walk, they will make a bee-line for the neatly, yet precariously, stacked $119.99 bottles of Dom Perignon.


And the parents of these little children very well might poop themselves.

    Huh, thats not OK? Is that true for cat crap as well? Does that mean that its not OK to use cat poo as a floatie in the pool too?

    Sheesh all these rules. ;)

  2. These days, Shayna loves to sing about poo poo and pee pee. Everyone at the supermarket thinks it's funny, so I guess it's OK... Now I know where Country singers get their material!

  3. I can always count on you for a laugh.

    We're going to Costco this afternoon. If I hear any loud, wet crashes while we're there, now I'll know the culprits.

  6. Well mine are a year older and they climb the bottled water at Costco as if they were climbing Mt. Everest. So when does it end? Not anytime soon!

  7. You actually went near the wine bottles. Well, yes, I guess we must in order to get to the Guinness. I still have to tell my three to put their hands in their pockets as we carefully walk by all those bottles.
