(Inappropriate word) Attack!

This story was supposed to be a lot funnier than it is going to be, but the content was so questionable that I, possessor of no morals, had to consult two of the raunchiest people that I know to see if using a particular vernacular would be HIGHLY inappropriate or just mildly raunchy, but funny.

Highly inappropriate won out, so here is the story, sans the really funny word (which you may be able to figure out if you really think about it).

Tess is going through what I would refer to as a gross-out phase right now. The grosser something is, the funnier it becomes. Last week I asked her what she would like for dinner and she put on this scholarly face of deep, deep thought and said, "Hmmm....I want a poopoo dinner!"

Um, ew.

"You want poopoo for dinner?"
"Yes! Poopoo dinner!"
"Well, you can't have, ahem, poopoo for dinner, hon."
"Ok...peepee dinner!"
"You want...peepee for dinner then?"
"Yes! Peepee dinner!"

I don't know if she was thinking like a soup or what, but that's really neither here nor there. Anyway, this has become a nightly comedy routine for her, every time we ask her what she wants for dinner it's either poopoo or peepee. I actually have a little video of this that I will post tomorrow, to uproarious laughter, I am sure.

This really adds to her entire gross out reportoire which has many fine elements, including, but not limited to:

*Loud flatulance whenever she is in the tub so that she can 'make bubbles'.
*Making us smell her feet every single night before bed and telling her they smell like roses (the flower choice was hers alone).
*Creating all forms of model fecal matter out of Play-Doh and then making us pretend to eat it.

Why, why, why has she gotten so totally gross? I am hoping this is a passing phase related to her recent graduation from the potty chair to the "big potty" because the last thing I need is to go to a restaurant and have my daughter telling the waiter she wants crap on a plate.

LOL! That's just absolutely hilarious! So, Tess is completely potty trained? How did that go? She seems so much more mature than other kids I know that are her age. What a nice job you've done as a parent...especially the gross part ;o)

Save for the nighttime, she uses the potty at home pretty much every time. The peeing was a lot harder to regulate but she is doing great now. She was super easy too, she does not like to go in a diaper so she initiated the whole potty thing by herself, she started using it around eighteen months or so. I give her all the credit :)

Yeah...I'm putting the potty training thing off until the new baby is born...I know Ella will have a hard time with the new baby and everything :o)

As a mother of a 4,5,and 9 year old, plus a very immature 28 year old husband, I can tell you with all confidence, it is not a stage; it will be funny and hilarious until they die. My husband still laughs when people fart and makes a big deal out of it.

Ah yes...it is the "anal fixation" phase shes seems to be going through right now. Too funny!!!

I have three boys. It's all about penises over here.

Sam is going through this phase too. Except, he is talking about his parts all the time.
