That's a lot of poop talk from a kid who refuses to use the potty

Ada told herself a story that ended with "and the poo poo came out of her head."

Turning to me, she asked: Isn't that a funny story?

Me: It's not my favorite kind of story.

Ada, exasperated that I did not get the joke: But there's poo poo . . . coming out of her HEAD!

Ada, talking to herself again: That's a poo poo head story. Mama didn't like it. She likes a pee pee story. I like a poo poo story and Mama likes pee pee.

  1. Yes, but do you like pee pee that comes out of her head? That's the real question.

  2. My mom's mother used to say, "Adults do not find toilet humor funny." (Of course, in our case, that's totally false.)

  3. Better get used to it. My 11 y/o still finds scatological references uproariously funny (which, of course, it is).

  4. Or, if I was using English more goodly, I'd say "they are" instead of "it is."

  5. She's just getting geared up for using the potty with all that talk. Sounds like she could be ready any day (I'm just making that up; I have no idea how one really determines potty readiness. I used bribery, when my kids were, like, 11, so I am no good judge).

  6. I could tell you how my child described her poop this evening. But I think I won't.

  8. I feel ya. I spend more time than I'd like talking about poop and pee than I'd like as well.
