Madison ran past me a few moments ago saying that she had to go poop! had to go poop! had to goooo pooooop! Needless to say a minute or so later she was calling for the cleanup brigade. Our conversation went thus:
Madison: Mom, first I had to go poop and I was pushing in the basement!
Me: Uh…
Madison: No, wait! First I was in the basement and then I said I had to go poop and then I was pushing!
Me: Well…
Madison: No, wait! I was in the basement and I was pushing and…
Me: You shouldn’t push until you get up here.
Madison: No, I didn’t. But when I did I was downstairs and look! I got poop on my fingers!
Me: Yack! Eww! (wipe wipe) You know you might have led with that.
Madison: Yeah, but I had to go fast, Mom, you know.
Me: Don’t touch my shirt, you have poop on your fingers.
Madison: Yeah, but it’s only a little! Look!
Me: Excellent.

Ewwww.
I was visiting my sister and my niece (who is 3 1/2) announced she had to go pee. My sister sent her to the bathroom to get the whole process started on her own and said she would be there in a second. As my sister rounds the corner in to the bathroom, I hear my niece say, “Mommy I’m peeing!” Do you think she managed to get her pants off and sit on the toilet? Not even close.
LOL LOL LOL!!! Oh dear…this is funny he he he he…
Aren’t kids lovely?!
