Wade uses the word “poop” like people use the F-word.
Everything is poopie this and poopie that.
“Where’s my poopie blanket? I don’t wanna wear my poopie shoes! That’s a poopie spider.” And my personal favorite, “Where’s my pooping brother?”
One day I asked, “Who did you play with during Sunday School this morning?”
He answered, “Those poopie kids.”
“Wade it’s time for bed.”
“P-O-O-P-I-E,” he shouted stomping his foot.
I know poop isn’t an obscenity, but it is when Wade says it. Think about it. Poop probably is the crassest, dirtiest word he knows. (I hope.)
Wade started using poop as a curse word a few moths ago. All on his own. Nobody else in our home uses the word that way. We don’t even use real curse words. Is there some sort of innate human need to curse?
We try to stop him from saying poopie all the time. It is rude, and I don’t want him calling the kids at church poopie to their faces. But the more we tell him to stop, the more he says it.
“Wade! We told you not to say poopie all the time. It’s OK to talk about poop if you need to go potty, or you’re shoveling out a horse barn. But you don’t need to say it just to say it.”
He gave me a blank stare then launched into, “Poopie poopie poopie poopie poopie …” to the tune of the ABCs.
Molly is obsessed with farts….
anything that comes out of a… derriere is funny. let’s just be honest. our whole FAMILY thinks “love puffs” (aka- trouser cough, aka- air biscuit, our list goes on and on because my daughter actually GOOGLED “nicknames for farts”) are hilarious. we even have code names for “air”. that way we can secretly accuse one another in public. or announce. as we walk down an aisle in meijer. really fast… 😀
LOL!! That’s awesome! I guess there are worse things than POOP
WOW! We must have the same kid! One of our daughters like to use the word poop a lot too! She’s never sang it too the ABC’s but I wonder if that is just something we have to look forward too! He sounds like a funny little boy…although I know it can be frustrating at times!
Found you on SITS!
It’s a good thing they’re so funny and cute! 🙂
Oh dear…what’s gotten into my nephew? Maybe it won’t be so funny to him once he’s potty trained. I remember having my mouth washed out with soap for saying such a word. Have you tried that? Or, do you ignore it? Because, really is it such a big deal? Though, it is kinda a funny word. And, it could be worse. I could teach him a few Aussie words if you prefer.
poop is funny at any age if you ask me! butt (hahahahahA) if you really want him to STOP saying it try this-take him to the bathroom whenever he says it and say “that’s a bathroom word and you can say it in here.” Eventually the lack of audience and isolation/boringness of the bathroom will get to him and he’ll stop saying it.
Oh goodness, Colleen. You’re going to NEED that big cup of coffee in a few years!
My son’s (age 12) favorite new word is ‘crap’. He’s learning to be creative with it. He doesn’t want to take the crapping garbage out. He doesn’t give a crap that his sister wants to use the TV. Breakfast today was “craptacular” (which is good) but lunch today was “crapful” (which is bad).
Hence, it’s not coffee in MY coffee cup.
