My youngest walks up to me today and has the following conversation to the best of my memory:
Youngest: “Mom, how much poop comes out of your a.n.u.s?”
Mom: “Depends on how much I ate.”
Youngest: “Can a lot of poop come out of your a.n.u.s?”
Mom: “And why are you asking this?”
Youngest: “I was wondering if you could fill up the toilet bowl.”
At which point I was saved by the phone. Why my 6 year old suddenly has the need to use the word ‘a.n.u.s’ is beyond me. I believe it has been learned by a wonderful book that my friend Sticks gave to my oldest for his birthday. It is one of the Captain Underpants series. I remember hearing them talk about the jokes in the book of the planet Uranus. Yaa… That’s probably where it started but why he is following up on it with me … must be a boy thing I don’t quite get.
Your welcome! That’s what “aunts” are for. Don’t forget, it was “aunt Bou” who was teaching them to burp the alphabet.
Gah! Yes, but burping the alphabet isn’t filling up a potty!!! But hey, our favorite book is still ‘Everyone Poops”. Classic reading for a family with boys. Classic.
He’s at the age where he should start telling how how long it is… blech. “Mom! It was a FOOT long!” Gah! NO!
Yaa, aunts who have sons older than mine. I’ll find a way to get you back!
You guys kill me…. and make me glad that I only had girls!
Just hope he doesn’t decide to conduct an “experiment”. Keep a good plunger, a toilet snake, and a mop handy.
