The Poop Game

Erlan's favorite game is the poop game. He has figured out that poop is a magic word. It gives him special powers that allow him to escape whatever he is doing at the time and results in lots of attention from Mommy and Daddy. Here's how its played: Erlan yells, "Poop!" He points to his bottom and tops it off with a pained expression.

The result: Mommy drops whatever she is doing, runs to Erlan, picks him up and takes him to the bathroom.

As soon as Erlan is picked up, he breaks out his biggest smile and a happy giggle.

We played this game 25 times before noon. Any pooping? Nope. But what do you do? Poop is a magic word. Who wants to take chances with that one?

LOL! My kids still get out of doing things by simply using the poop threat;)

For Seth, "poop" also gets immediate attention, but he uses it to gross us out. "What did you have for lunch at preschool today?" "Poop." "What do you want to be for Halloween?" "Poop."

What is it with that Y chromosome?!?

How funny! You never know what those little ones will come up with next. Jack likes to turn around and smile at us when he's doing something he shouldn't. He thinks his cute smile will get him anything.

We've played that game! Only, ours ends in dramatically different and stinkier results.
