We have yet to hang up the beast of a favorite chalkboard ---- so on the ground it sits. And it still gets plenty of use--- like the other day when Max asked me to write NO EATING SANDWICHES. Who knows why. But he thought it was hilarious. And he would remind us --- NO EATING SANDWICHES. But we would eat them. And that was funny.
And poop and poopy and poopy bottom are like the most hilarious thing ever in the whole wide world universe of america.
WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS????
and this is the time I really wish had a handful of guy readers. I think I have a brother and husband who read this blog-- that may be it, unless you can get your husbands to chime in. Shed some light on this grown up little boys: What is the deal with boys and POOPY BOTTOM.
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
I have to admit I laugh too, but only because my two are pretty much on the floor rolling around laughing their guts out because one of them said poopy bottom and the fact that they think it is hilarious IS hilarious.
Are little girls like this because I don't remember poop being so funny to me.
David told me the other day that in first grade there was a picture in a book in his classroom of a little boy with a bare bottom --- well, another boy was reading it and discovered it. David even remembers the title of the book and I forget it but anyway, apparently this classmate of his got a brilliant idea that it would be funny to scratch and sniff the boy's bottom. So he would scratch the bare bottom picture and smell it and make some sort of face and say P - U or something like that and the group of gathered boys would die laughing.
I laugh thinking about that.
silly boys.

There are three kindergarten girls in my carpool. They sit int he back seat and giggle over "toilet" and "toilet paper" I don't remember doing that as a girl but they do.
The other night as we were going to sleep my husband farted but good. Then he laughed uncontrollably for probably five full minutes. He said it was funny because it was so loud in the silence. Then, two days later he told his brother the story and laughed hysterically again. Yeah, I don't think it's something they grow out of.
that is so funny eva. such a boy!
it's one of those things that really isn't funny, but for some reason because they think it's funny it is.
boys.
The word is defiant, akin to secret, and rather than cry about our discomfort - we choose to laugh at our humanity.
We all make stinky poop.
POOP! I can barely get the breath off of my plosive, parting, smiling lips - before a sense of contentment settles in. So near to 'POP'! (Isn't that why we subconsciously like bubble gum? POP!)
POOP! The word is like the a balloon bursting - but not so it startles us, maybe off in the distance, only so we know there's a definitive end to something that makes us happy.
POOP! I also suppose it sounds like an adopted dog that is picked up from the humane society and gets a taste of ice cream for the first time that night.
POOP! Maybe Freud would say we're a little fixated - anal expulsive, or something
After a solid 45 seconds of reflection, I think it's either the near-symetrical written form of the word 'poop' that makes us cheerful at such a conflagration of bodily function, written language, and spoken word.
or
because we all have it.
I guess it's as universal as love, and makes the world go round.
That's a good conclusion. Our boys feel love when they say it.
POOP!
Lily thinks any "potty language" is just too funny. She laughs and repeats it over and over again.
When I taught Kindergarten ALL of my class loved it! We read the story No David and their favorite part was when you see Davids bare bottom.
And I have to say, when one of my students farted I laughed right along with the rest of my class...lol!
It is terrible, it shouldn't be as funny as it is, but we still laugh.
Anyways. We call it potty language here, and as hard as I try to tell Lily is isn't that funny, we all still laugh. I am trying really hard to teach her not to use it out in public, but it isn't working. So it is not just boys, or little kids it is everyone : )
Yes, I noticed this kind of talk the other day. My thought is that this is the age when children seem to be talking like that. I remember Mark and Erik going through that stage. I think that as long as parents don't over-react one way or the other (by laughing as if it is funny OR getting angry), they will grow out of it. However, if it gets too silly and too much of this, it would be okay to say that we do not want to talk like that anymore..and even add a short explanation or two.
Girls do think it is funny also. Not grown-up mommy girls so much as young girls.
dave should write a book, maybe answering all of life's unanswered questions, but not the deeply philosophical, just the day to day...
brilliant.
Jon and Et are completely ridiculous together that way. I'll admit, I have to try really hard to not crack a smile or bust out laughing when they are on one. I don't know what causes it and sad to say, my Esther is right there with them. It's not gender-specific, but maybe a little more exaggerated. Good luck for the next 10-15 years.
