warning: potty humor ahead
November 17th, 2008
As we were driving back from the store, Annalie piped up from the back seat, “Gramaw, wanna hear a joke?”
“Sure!” My mom said. I rolled my eyes, fully expecting the joke to have something to do with poop, as almost all of Annalie’s jokes do.
“Why did the poop cross the road?”
“Uh, I don’t know. Why?”
“So it could get to the other side and get poop all over everything!” Annalie cackled merrily at her own joke. My mom and I laughed at her laughing; it really was funny. “Wanna hear another one, Gramaw?”
“Sure,” my mom said. “But can it be a little less gross this time?”
“Okay. But this joke has poop in it,” Annalie solemnly informed her.
“Can you tell it without the poop?” my mom asked.
“I don’t think I can!”

My boys think any joke with the word “poop” in it is hysterically funny. Actually, an entire hysterically funny joke (to them…) goes something like this, “POOP!” Especially if Mama says it.

Get Annalie to drop me a line in about 15 years. I’ve got some good ones for her.

My mom never let us say poop. I made sure it was an acceptable word at my house. It is just so much fun to say….poop.

Is it wrong that I, a 26 year old, found her poop joke hysterical. I literally busted out laughing at my desk. I think my co-workers think I’m nuts… and I’m still laughing….

You might want to cut back on those Adam Sandler movie nights. ;)

My cousin once introduced a girlfriend to my Gram as his “burping and farting Grandma.” She was horrified, I just laughed. It’s true. We used to have burping contests at the dinner table during Summer break when our parents weren’t there to tell us not to.
To me, it just makes life more interesting.
