Back to normal life

Had a good time with my fav DZ buddies the last couple of days and even though they're still around, I alas had to go back to work yesterday. Picture diary to come once Dena sends out the pictures. Lets just say it wasn't your normal trip to California. Yeahhh, we had to find new ways to entertain ourselves because the weather woudn't cooperate.

So I've started reading some random blogs that I've come across recently, usually one's that have been mentioned on actual friends' blogs or in articles or something. In particular, I find the blogs written by new parents to be especially entertaining. I like going to ricedaddies, metrodad, and sweet juniper . I don't know any of these people, but their kids are adorable and their stories/observations/random ramblings about being parents are great. Really, I'm not a stalker...but I think thats one of the best things about blogging - you get an uncensored peek into the life and opinions of really funny, creative, and insightful people. Its like watching a good character-driven TV show. Anyways, I pretty much laughed so hard I cried when I read this post from Sweet Juniper today, and I wanted to share it with you all.

A little background: "Wood" is the mom of Juniper, "Dutch" is the dad, and they're both lawyers.

Wood: "I found a nickel-sized poo chunk on the floor between the changing table and the diaper genie today."
Dutch: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You changed a diaper of poo this morning, did you not?"
"Yeah, but -- "
"At approximately 7:30 a.m., is that correct?"
"Yeah, but --"
"And isn't it true that last night there was no poo on the floor?"
"I don't know. If you say so."
"Yet isn't it true that this morning, at approximately 11:00 a.m., I found poo on the floor?"
"That's what you said, but --"
"Are you denying that the soft brown substance in which my toe left a small impression when I accidentally stepped on it was poo?"
"I'm confused."
"So it had to be you that dropped poo on the floor, isn't that correct?"
"I swear I didn't! All poo was contained in the diaper
Didn't you also change the first pee diaper of the morning? At approximately 6:20 a.m.?"
"Yeah, but --"
"And isn't it possible that there was a nickel-sized poo chunk in the pee diaper that you didn't see?"
"I guess so. . . "
"And isn't it possible that that poo chunk fell to the floor?"
"It's . . . possible."
"So you dropped poo and left it there for Juniper to potentially eat and for me to step in."
"What? No!"
"No further questions."


It still makes me laugh. Nickle-sized poo chunk!!!! I hope that conversation really happened, exactly like that. hahahahhahahaha. Basically, any poo story will make me laugh - its how I was raised. I believe one of my sister's friends once described my family as being "scatalogically oriented" and I'd say its a pretty accurate description. Oh, and we realllly think farts are funny too. Anyways, so funny.
