Philosophy 101
Bob and Jeff were in the backyard yesterday playing wiffle ball. As always, it didn't take long before the conversation topic turned to poop.
“Daddy? Remember that time Daisy ate my poo poo?”
“Yes. I’m afraid I do.”
“When Daisy ate my poo poo and then she had a poo poo, was it still my poo poo?”
“Hmm. Kind of? It’s complicated.”
I think Bob’s philosophical question in the realm of subjective idealism takes a certain amount of excrement-y genius. Or he's just really opposed to sharing anything.

I am completely obsessed with poop. It's an expected question from me for all of my children...and sometimes others' children.

I am intimidated.
You are correct. He is going for a PhD in poo.
ReplyDeleteWe are very proud.
In my house, nobody gets served their supper without a good poo joke. I admire his mix of the scatological with the philosiphical. He's welcome at my dinner table any time.
