In today’s edition of “Did I Just Say What I Thought I Said?” we have a phrase which, in addition to being one of those things that:
A) shouldn’t have to be said in the first place,
B) shouldn’t have to be said by me and
C) that yelling out an open window of the house does not at all improve,
it also, sadly, is something we have addressed before.
NOOOO!!!!
Don’t poop in the yard!!!
The worst part of this is, of course, the aftermath.
Moving the perpetrator (or should I say poopetrator?) to the toilet.
Yard clean up.
The lengthy explanation to answer the ever present “WHY?” question.
My explanation was going so well I was starting to worry that Clara was never going to poop outside again. Which, given that I would like to take them camping, might not be great thing for the long run. So we talked about acceptable times and places to poop outdoors.
Finally a poop free girl headed back outside with Ivy as they walked through the door I heard:
“Me poop outside in hole. Me go do that.”
Now I’m sorta worried about the sandbox.

I love your blogs–this one had me LOL really hard. I think “me just poop” in my chair right here at the computer.
No, No! That’s not an appropriate place either!!! 🙂
I don’t think Rob and I will get a better laught all week! (The best humor depicts real predicaments, when one does not have to deal with them oneself.)
“…real predicaments, when one does not have to deal with them…”
Without a doubt, that’s the best humor, well put!
Thanks for the smile. Clara is indeed a cutie. I’m sure she’ll be pooping in only appropriate places from now on. 🙂
Lets hope so!!!
Life is full of challenges, some serious and some so funny I’m still laughing. You always seem to handle them well. GRANNY
Now you know EXACTLY why I’m so careful about my wording when I explain things to my kids with Autism. Lol!!!
Hey, think of the pluses, at least you don’t live in town! Don’t you just love those random checks out the windows?
Good point Corky! Add it to my list of reasons not to move somewhere with something other than a cow for a neighbor.
Ha ha ha. Glad it’s not just my kids 😛
When it comes to using the world as your toilet just stick with us and you’ll never be alone! 🙂
