Melissa at Such Simple Pleasures and Coleen at Manners and Moxie came up with Scrolling Saturday for newish bloggers to post older posts that likely haven't been seen before (by people other than those 2 friends/family who were forced to read the blog when we started.) So here's one from early November and it will give you a good glimpse into my husband's sense of humor...
Well, my mother-in-law (aka "Nannie") came for a week-long visit and left this past weekend. She came to the realization that sweet, perfect babies do grow into kids who talk about poop and other silly things and they become a little less endearing at times.
For example, E was playing with her baby, Mary (her alter ego most days), while MIL was crocheting and E took a skien (love that word) of yarn and put it between Mary's legs and said "that's a big giant poop, Nannie!" Nannie didn't think it was very funny. Mommy and Daddy did - primarily because that verbiage comes straight from Daddy's mouth. On a daily basis. He's obsessed with BMs - well, let me restate... he's obsessed with HIS BMs. And yes, it's apparently huge and giant. The guy's 6'5" so I guess big things come from big packages. I digress. Anyhow, Todd (aka "That Man") tends to talk about these things to our kids - and sometimes E will finish a 'job' and take a look and say "WOW Mommy - that's a MASSIVE poop!" Husband even has a running list of his favorite terms for doing this job... for example:
1. Coiling a steamer
2. Bending some pipe
3. Screaming mud-blower (he's cracking up right now over that one)I think it's probably similar to this
4. Spraying (only if it's really loose, similar to a 'mud-blower' - I'm told)
5. Burying an elf
6. Negotiating Chocolate Hostages, etc., etc.
So, it's no wonder my little angel is eager to make her own commentaries on her constitutions. And so I come to the title of this post... probably not as funny as the list, but it's where I started before the big tangent, so I feel like I must return...
So Nannie was sitting down on the loo and as soon as she pulled down her pants, she heard a 'plop' into the water below. Feeling like she still had control of her bowels, she wondered what on earth that was, and stood to look. She saw a big 'ol rock in the water - luckily - it hadn't dropped from her body - just from her underwear. How did it get there, you ask? The kids were putting rocks down her shirt hours earlier (something only a Nannie would let happen with joy) and thus one little guy got lodged without notice, and there you have it.

hahahahaha! :)
ROFL! I bet that caused quite a little splash :)
Hilarious! With kids, you never ever know what you are going to find, what they are going to do next, or what they are going to say. How boring life would be without them!
Boring indeed! LOL... that is funny!
hilarious...btw, my hubby calls it "pinching a loaf"...so dag-nasty!!!
What does it say about me that I found this hysterical? What is it with men and BM's? It has passed on to the 4 year old, she has been known to come running out of the bathroom to get us to come see her "product".
She will describe them to us at times. You know, they say you can tell how healthy you are by your BM's so I guess it's good that we all take such an interest in them?! LOL. Thanks for the grins and the new terminology :-) LMAO!
My mother in law is anti bodily functions as well. And it never fails that one of mine will either fart or burp in her presence, despite many conversations I've had with them to please not do that in front of Grandma because I don't appreciate the lecture that follows about how it must come from my side of the family. A woman who truly doesn't know her own sons. And daughter for that matter. The woman is in denial.
I think you have been MIA as long as I have!!
HAHA! My 6'5" DH actually has the opposite problem. He is one of those anti-bodily-function people. It took about 4 months before he would change a poopy diaper, but that was because he couldn't let the kid sit in it as he waited for me to come home from work :)
