Human defecation… THE YARD!
In motherhood I find myself saying things I never imagined saying to another human. Things like “don’t eat the cat’s food. Don’t eat the cat!” or “if you pee on my toilet seat one more time I will make you clean it up with you tee shirt, and then make you wear the shirt…to school.”
Most recently it was “where in the yard did you poop?”
Yup. My four year old thought it was perfectly OK to take a poo in our side yard in clear view of the nosey old people neighbors. Obviously, he did not think taking a dump facing our other neighbors, who also have a spirited boy child and would have completely understood, to be optimal yard pooping etiquette. Selfish.
So, yeah, I made the walk of shame from the side yard to the compost pile with a shovel full of human feces.
No impact man would be proud…I think.

I know exactly what you mean. Being a mom makes me sound like an old hag. I get tired of hearing my own voice.

Hilarious, especially cause it wasn’t my kid.
