Im currently on the random thought of ....why is pooping such a big deal to some people? In my lifetime I have come to notice,mostly among women, that passing gas and pooping are a shaming event. Some I know pretend they never even do either of these things. As if they were genetically enhanced in some way to be anal-less.
On the other hand, I also happen to know some folks that are not the least bit ashamed by their "movements"and even use creative terms to describe them. For example; Dropping the kids off at the pool, pinching a loaf, dropping a bomb, and a favorite I found today-Consulting your ASStrological chart.There are plenty more,even several websites to describe them-so amusing! These terms Im guessing, were created all by men. The male species tend to celebrate their "movements" as a huge daily achievment. My husband is the leader of the pack. Im glad to see pooping is coming mainstream and the book shown is encouraging kids of the up and coming generation to take notice and be free.Now I dont encourage rude behavior such as a stinker at the dinner table or a packed car. But it is natural and we all do it, there should be no shame in that.
I honestly think its funny. But yeah okay that's me, always the joker. I think most things can be seen as funny if you know how to look at them. I dont understand why society as a whole has such a hard time laughing at life and all the quirky things about it ? Things are generally not as serious as some make them!

hahaha so true and hilarious with the other terms! The book looks really funny because the kid looks like he is straining!! LOL!
I thought that was what he was doing too, maybe there is a constipation page? Hilarious !!
Oh Colleen...where do you come up with this stuff! I love that you are secure with poo-ey situations...:) Oh and the dinner table and packed car is cracking me up!
You are hilarious, what a great way to start the day by reading your blog. I totally agree I mean what is the big deal I personally don't understand why people get all worked up. I agree with the manners though, there is a time and a place and the car, dinner table and or doing a drive by on a group of people is not always funny! Oh and we had the Poop book when the kiddos were little - hilarious!
Thanks gals :) Somebody has to talk about crazy stuff right? Or else there would be no "crazy lady next door" to Gossip about! HAHAHA
I guess I'll have to weigh in with the male perspective. First, I don't think that most mean celebrate their poop but they do embrace it (not literally, or course) as an aspect of manhood.
It is funny how guys interact in the bathroom. If there are only two stalls, some men will not use the empty one if the other one is occupied. I can see them walking over, seeing my feet, and walking out again. Others will pretend they don't see the feet under door and jiggle the handle like they're coming in only to be denied entrance.
Still others just walk right into the empty stall, plop down (maybe plop isn't the best word to use here) and start making what sounds to be painful grunting and farting noises.
I suppose after 15 years of the military, it doesn't make sense to be shy about something everyone does anyways. In basic training, we had a row of about 10 toilets with no stalls or walls. [...and there always seemed to be one yahoo that wanted to talk to you while you were both doing your business.] In Desert Storm, we would have to dig holes and squat (even the women).
My wife's sister has two daughters and she claims her husband will not fart in the house because he lives in a female dominated home. I say don't make a production of it but don't suffer either.
Of course, I have two boys so we are the ones who dominate. Since they have their own bathroom, I taught them to leave the seat up all the times and only to put it down for pooping. (I know. I know. Their wives are going to have to re-train them but that is their problem.)
Those poor wives, they have no idea what they are in for....
