Boys are disgusting…
April 24, 2011
- Dennis, Jamen, Eli
Mom: Eli, what do you want for breakfast?
Eli: Poop
Eli praying: Dear Heavenly Father, Please bless the poop. We’re thankful for our food…..
Eli: Knock, Knock
Anyone: Who’s there?
Eli: Poop.
Anyone: Poop who?
Eli: Clean me up.
(In case you can’t tell, Eli’s obsessed with poop. For this reason and a few others, I’ve banned the Captain Underpants series.)
Jamen B.: Once in our old apartments there was some grey stuff on the wall. I picked it off and ate it. It tasted disgusting.
Mom: Gross! It was probably a booger. (Comment made to warn him not to eat anything unidentifiable that’s stuck on walls.)
Jamen B.: It wasn’t a booger because boogers taste good.
Recently I found Dennis in the extra bathroom using a big wooden spoon to stir the water in the toilet. He knows it’s a toilet “bowl”, alright!
In other news, I’m mostly busy with work… Slower due to the tax season and Spring has sprung. I’ve been planting perenials in the flower garden in our fron ward and poppies (at least I think that’s what they are) are coming up everywhere. We’re getting the vegetable garden ready to plant. Eventually, I’d like to have a raised bed, but I think it will take a few years to build it up. I splurged and bought some raspberry plants. It’ll probably be a year before they grow.
Jamen has been busy with the kids. He’s a good dad and not much of a house keeper. Oh well… At least I have someone I trust to be with the boys while I’m at work.

Oh yes.
Rais says similar things. I find it gross, too. I don’t get it, either, because we don’t really talk about bodily functions that much (especially now that we are done with potty training until A.J. is older). So, I guess it MUST be a boy-thing. Darn it. But you’re a good mom. I ban certain KBYU shows for similar reasons. I don’t like burping and tooting in kids’ shows — at all.

Actually, we do talk about bodily functions ALL the time. (I am a natural health care provider and we study those things, you know. You can find out a lot about one’s health by studying their poop. The Oriental Healers/Doctors do it all the time. Even the Dali Lama does it.) A book I’d recommend is: Everybody Poops by Taro Gami… “Everybody eats so everybody poops.” However I really hate The Potty Train: “Chugga chugga poo pooooo!” I think it needs to be in context.

Actually, Captain Underpants is hilarious. Just not for little boys (or girls) if you don’t want them to talk about poop and “wedgie power.”
