Dad, I Pooped

 I was sitting watching the big game enjoying a cold beverage and some snacks when I hear, in a loud voice, "Dad, I pooped".  My daughter is in the washroom and apparently wants to show me something.  Now, you can imagine my excitement, my daughter wants to include me in what would prove to be a very memorable moment.  This is what I would call real father/daughter bonding.
 Upon entry into the washroom my daughter is still sitting on her throne, not wanting to show me anything, only wanting her royal buttocks cleaned.  Being a dad, or royal subject to her majesty, I gladly wipe her bottom and tell her how well she did.  The question is then asked, "was it a snake poop or rabbit poop?".  This would be the fault of my wife and I for describing our sons bowel movements and making it a game.  Goes to show, you never really know if your kids are listening until they repeat something out of the blue.  As for the game, it was the goal of the kids to achieve an anaconda poop as this meant they were eating enough fruits and vegetables.  In fact, we still hear from the boys once in a while describing their accomplishments.  As for my daughter it was not my intention to involve her in the game as she is our little girl and it didn't seem right for a little girl to be describing her poop.  Seems someone failed to tell her.
 Dad, I pooped is something I hear on a daily basis now and probably a good thing as I at least know she is clean.  With the rest of the family there are times when I enter the washroom, the toilet has not been flushed and there is no toilet paper in the bowl.  I never know for sure who it was, although the boy walking around scratching his rear is always a good giveaway.  For those of you without kids this may all sound disgusting and maybe even revolting.  If so I apologize for the nightmares you may encounter and give warning if you are thinking kids in years to come.
 To finish, how was your last bowel movement, never mind I do not want to know.  As for my daughters, it was nasty as she has been a little under the weather lately and yet she still made the call and I still responded with clean up and positive reinforcement.  No matter her condition I will always be there for her and once I install the princess's private line I will never miss an opportunity to bond again.  Seriously though, when does it end and can I not just take her to dance class.  Good thing she is so darn cute.
