Okay. So, I had an entire entry written about poop just now and deleted it for two reasons. The first one being I didn’t want anyone to think I was trying to steal Dooce’s market. But the second one? Because I fear embarassing my family and friends who have sent links to my blog to their family and friends because they think it’s fun and I’m afraid that poop is not as fun to some people as it is to me. Or my family. Actually, its not that fun to ME, personally, as MrZ tells me I’m a “Stealth Pooper”, but it’s a fun conversation at my house. We talk about pooping and pooting way more than any family should. And that was BEFORE we had our own little poop factory at home. Now? It’s all we talk about.
See? That’s probably more than many real world people wanted to know. One of my best friends (IrishChic) is now thinking, “Great. Now my boss now knows that one of my BFFs is a Stealth Pooper.” And my husband? Is thinking, “Stop talking NOW. If any more secret Zoot household poop information is disclosed, I won’t be able to face my friends anymore.”
These are the downsides to not remaining entirely anonymous. I can’t openly talk about the bowel movements of me or my family without someone being embarassed. Of course, nothing is as embarassing as the Lobster Hat Story and I was brave enough to divulge that. Surely my family can handle a little poop talk.
(I am NOT looking forward to the google hits I’ll get from this entry, by the way.)
Ha…my husband calls me a “stealth pooper” too. And this from a guy who couldn’t even utter the word Poop when I first met him.
I hate poop stories. But I did just read on your sidebar that Book of Daniel was cancelled…and that’s a load of bullshite!
Ok so of course I had to go back and read the lobster hat story, that was awesome! And I love the term stealth pooper…
And I can’t believe Book of Daniel was cancelled. I was totally digging that show. I even wrote to NBC to help keep it on the air.
Hey, I’m up for a good poop story any day. I suffer from lactose intolerance AND irritable bowel syndrome, so I probably talk about poop waaaaay too much.
I’m sad you deleted your post!
haha I love how you said you deleted your poop entry because you don’t want to write too much about poop, yet your entry was still about poop anyway
My boyfriend and I talk about poop entirely too much as well. We also like to randomly use the word POOP in sentences or just blurt out the word at any given time.
We spent last thanksgiving staying at a hotel in Vegas and the hotel made the mistake of putting a pad of paper and pen in the bathroom. I’m sure the maids got weirded out that two people could come up with so many phrases and poems about a subject such as poop. haha.
My husband would fit in SO WELL with you guys! He comes from a family ilke yours. I? do not. So, I’m having to get used to the poop talk.
Don’t feel bad. I don’t even have kids and poop is a common topic of coversation in our house ever since we got a dog 6 years ago.
The Lobster Hat Story is legendary and is the bar by which all other embarrassment can be measured. As for poop…like the book title says, ‘Everybody Poops’
