Can’t believe I am posting this

posted February 27th, 2007 by Shannon

It’s such beautiful weather down here. N was playing outside by himself today after lunch. I walked by the window to check on him and he was sitting in the grass staring at the sky. I did a double take because N doesn’t just SIT and stare at the sky. I then did a triple take because his shorts didn’t look quite right. Or, should I say, his lack of shorts. They were around his ankles. I walked outside and caught a whiff of what was sitting underneath the boy’s bum. I have no idea how long he had been sitting there or when he was going to move. He said he was too scared to come inside.

I have two sisters. I’m positive we never did anything like that.

  1. No I dont think that this sister ever did anything like that.

  2. I’ve always heard stories like this about little boys. You are correct that you or your sisters never did anything like that (that I knew about anyway) There might have been a “roughing it” camping trip experience but you can be sure all of the females in this family would have much preferred finding a clean restroom. I remember as a small child playing outside at my Measles grandparents farm. One of my big brothers sent me inside to get toilet paper. My grandmother figured out what was probably going on and sent me to bed to take a nap while she went to “talk” to my big brothers.

  3. It must be their age. We were at Snyder last August and Tayleigh was staying with my grandparents there while Taegan was in the hospital. They came up to the hospital one afternoon and Tayleigh told me she had pooped in Mamaw’s backyard. I was so embarassed. I guess they will try anything once just to see our reaction.

  4. Hi Amanda – I’m glad you stopped by! Britney said they had a good visit with you last weekend.

    I remembered yesterday that we do have a outside pooping story on E, although hers was an accident. We were at the apartment complex where some friends lived hanging out by their sand volleyball courts. It was getting dark and we were about done when some college kids started taking over the courts. We were all gathering up our stuff and E said she had to go potty. G rushed her up the stairs to our friend’s apartment but by the time they arrived she had already pooped. Unfortunately it had mysteriously fallen out somewhere along the way. Yikes! I found it in the grass later but had to go looking for something to use to pick it up and throw it away. But before I could get that done, the volleyball went out-of-bounds and this big shot college guys ran after it. In bare feet. Right in the direction of the poop. I was terrified! It would probably be a funnier story now if he had stepped right in it, but he did not. And I’m okay with that.

  5. This story gave me a good laugh this morning.
