Realizing I was out of coffee tonight angrily demanded I make a grocery run when it was the last thing in the world I wanted to do. Well, a much uglier fate would have been not discovering our dilemma until morning–hell hath no fury like a woman scorned uncaffeinated–so I suppose I should be thankful.
Thinking some company might improve my sour disposition, I opened the door to our playroom and yelled upstairs to my youngest, to see if he wanted to go to the Publix with me. From our downstairs bathroom four feet from where I stood (door closed), loud and proud he yelled back, "I'll go with ya in a minute if you can wait…I'M TAKING AN EPIC POOP!"
My first thought was "ONLY a boy would refer to a bowel movement as EPIC," thinking about the grandeur and dramatic impact of, say, "Gone With the Wind" or "Gladiator", but then I thought about the definition: "extending beyond the usual or ordinary especially in size or scope".
As I bolted for my car—alone–I decided I didn't wanna stick around to see how this movie ended.

So funny!!
That is the only kind my eldest has. His father refers to them as “elephant sized.” I can only imagine the conversations I am in for as he grows. Of course you don’t have to imagine. 😉
I just read this to my sons (8 and 10) and it was quite the hit!
You're right…I've got a son older than him! What he said was SO unexpected, though–I didn't even realize he was in there!–so it was HILARIOUS to me. Of course, he had a few other things to say, but I spared y'all of that 😉 :).
Oh, no…please say I'm not ENCOURAGING this kind of thing! lol {love it!}
Why is it that pooping is such an event? My 14 year old is already taking books to the bathroom with him.
Thanks for starting my day with a smile.
I thought so 😉
He's JUST STARTING to take books? My goodness, my kids had a "Calvin & Hobbes" & "Zits" LIBRARY in there by the age of 10!! {and thanks for your comment which made ME smile!}
First post that I have read today and thank goodness I swallowed that mouthful of coffee before I read this laugh out loud post. Seriously, very funny. This could have been written about my house.
Love,
Dedra
