“Besh, you see this big storm on TV?” (watching Irene)
“Uh huh.”
“You know who’s getting rain today?”
“Who?”
“New York City. And Emerson.” (she’s in Boston) “And Miss Aimee.”
“You mean Nicaragua?”
“Huh?”
“Oh, I meant Connecticut.”
“Right. Same thing.”
Technically there was no boot involved but since it fits in with the “poop being in places it should not be” theme then I think it can be considered part of the series. It’s been a long time since Poop in a Boot Episode 4 but I’m just glad the studio didn’t decide to relaunch the franchise in 3D.
Besher’s little brother, Isaac, has been known to perform the odd magic trick. Tonight’s trick was one for the blog.
For some months now I’ve been giving Boy Baths in the Mommy and Daddy bathtub. It’s big enough for them both and for me to sit on the side and reach them both. Isaac and Besh both love it to the point where Isaac will run into the bathroom, naked, when it’s time screaming “Baaf! Baaf!” He usually gets there before me so I turn on the water and he runs his hand under the faucet while I get the bath stuff ready.
Mommy and Besh were in the bathroom with Isaac while I grabbed a washcloth from Isaac’s room. As I walk back in we both hear Besh screaming. Isaac is at the edge of the tub, pointing inside and saying “Poop!” We look in the tub and, sure enough, there’s poop in the tub. Despite no kids being in the tub.
Turns out Isaac pooped, picked it up and put it in the tub. Besh witnessed this last bit and was screaming because he now believed Isaac would die from touching poop. Isaac, sensing all the commotion and wanting to soothe himself, started to put his thumb in his mouth. Mommy and I both screamed “Noooo!” and I dove to clutch his hand, then whisked him away to his room and changing table.
While Mommy cleaned the tub and I cleaned Isaac (he was clean, it was one of those poops apparently) and gave his hands an impromptu Silkwood shower, Mommy also reassured Besh that touching poop does not kill people or else there’d be no Mommies and Daddies. I plopped Isaac in the tub where he proceeded to wave his hands, say “Yuck!” and then run them under the water.
And we haven’t even started potty training. So episode 6 may be in pre-production for a while. A looong while, please.
Besh likes to perform. I have no idea where he gets that from. But it isn’t unexpected for him to put on a show, usually a dance. So the other day he did a dance and then bowed as usual. But this time after we clapped he insisted on giving a speech. Bear in mind that the only other people in the house were Mommy, Daddy, and Isaac.
“Thank you everyone for coming. And I’d like to especially thank my family. They stole my heart and I love them very much.
“I’d also like to thank my Daddy for showing me Star Wars even though I was too young to see it but I didn’t get scared. Thank you, Daddy.”
