Say WHAT?!

“Water and poop do not make mud!”

 

Background: We were playing in the backyard and my son asked if he and his sister could make mud.  I told him that was fine.  I was sitting back, relaxing, and reading a magazine in a patio chair.  I could see them pouring water and stirring with their shovels.  Everything looked kosher.

WRONG.

He came up to me and asked me if I wanted some mud cake.  I said, “Sure”.  I leaned in to pretend eat (you know, where you get really close and make munching sounds).  I was hit by that all too familiar smell.

I asked what he put in his mud cake.  He said, “Just mud.”  So I asked how he made his mud.  He said, “Oh…it’s a great recipe!  I mix up a little dirt with dog poop and add water.  Ta-da! You have your very own mud.”

I wish I was making this up.  I wrote down the exact words right then in the magazine so I could tell my husband.  Then I immediately thought of you all and how you would laugh at this one.  :-)

Chalk another one up to things I thought would never come out of my mouth.  What weird thing have you said lately?

  3. Thanks. My day just got a bit brighter. I'm fighting a mentally blah day, but at least I didn't have to say, "Water and poop do not make mud."

  8. Oh my goodness, this is too funny. As I was reading, I was anticipating the ending of your story....I was certain that you were going to say that he used his OWN special ingredients! =)
    There's nothing quite like being a Mom now, is there? Happy Mother's Day!

  10. Too funny, and pretty gross!! Glad I haven't said this one yet. I did have to tell one of my guys "we do not stick our head in the toilet" though this week. Seems so much has to do with bodily functions ours, theirs, or our pets...
