Note To Self No. 473

January 30, 2008

Dear Self,

I know you are a very caring mom and when your son comes to you and speaks the words “boo boo”, you never hesitate to immediately give the afflicted area a kiss to make it all better. However, in the future? You should make darned sure he is saying “boo boo” when he presents an index finger to you before automatically giving it one of your All-Better!™ mommy kisses because he might really be saying “poo poo” and actually trying to show you what he found in his diaper.

Additionally, I strongly recommend that you never cut a very long and audible fart while opening the front door to let the cat out. A male neighbor might be approaching on the other side. And I know you NEED to believe it’s possible but I don’t think that anyone would mistake that fart for a creaky door. I’m just sayin.

Warm regards,
Me

    Hysterical…that’s a classic. At the very least it deserves a big ol’ trackback! Gotta love the “poo poo”!

    What? You mean you didn’t blame it on the CAT? C’mon, Izzy, you had the perfect “out” there!

    You are AWESOME.

  5. motherbumper on January 30, 2008 at 2:05 pm

    Did that really happen? I mean the door and fart thing because the poo / boo thing happens here weekly. But seriously, was it one of those THUNDER farts that kinda move your pants? Because that would be embarrassing. Oh wait, you already knew that….

    Aw, screw your neighbor. Why don’t you head over there early in the am to borrow some sugar and then look down your nose at her bathrobe and curlers. At least then you’d be even. :)

  7. Jeff on January 30, 2008 at 2:45 pm

    Why wouldn’t you want to kiss a poo-poo finger?

  8. motherofbun on January 30, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    Oh that is SO FUNNY!

  9. MammaLoves on January 30, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    Bummer dude!! I’ve had those days.

    Hang in there.

    How I wish I could have seen the look on your neighbour’s face when he heard the um, door creak.

    hahaha! Today my reader seems to have been filled with posts on poop and toilets, but this one might just have become my new favorite. Poo-poo AND farts in one post? Awesome!

  12. Mrs. Jeff on January 30, 2008 at 10:38 pm

    Awesome - FARTS are officially the funniest thing ever!

  13. Kelley on January 30, 2008 at 10:55 pm

    Do you need me to send you my ‘Everybody Farts’ social story I wrote for my son? Bwaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaa

    And the poo poo. Priceless. Wish I saw your face when you realised!

  14. the mama bird diaries on January 30, 2008 at 11:24 pm

    That is so funny.

    Boo boos (real and imagined) come so fast and furious around here, I never know what I’m kissing. Now I have been warned.

    And if it makes you feel better my mom once got kicked out of a yoga class b/c of excessive farting. Seriously.

  16. Cristina on January 31, 2008 at 2:26 am

    OMG, that poo poo thing could have SO happened to me. LOL Thanks for the laugh!

    I am loving Green Mom Finds, Izzy. Really loving it!

    Lately, I have been channeling George Costanza. Sounds like you are, too. (pardon the pun)

  21. Dorothy Stahlnecker on January 31, 2008 at 3:05 pm

    Wait till you get older like me and you think no one can hear you fart….

    And the diaper that is so funny…I’m dying over here and it hurts because of my recent surgeries…too funny..

    Oh yuck. Yuck yuck YUCK barf spew. I can’t believe you put down the Listerine long enough to post about this.

    Hannah’s last blog post..Yes, I know, I’ve already posted today

  23. Daisy on January 31, 2008 at 6:53 pm

    I can’t decide which one made me laugh more! Would the visitor believe it was the cat?

  24. FireMom on January 31, 2008 at 8:44 pm

    I swear, it must have been poop week all across the blogs. I wrote about it. Two of my bloggy friends did. What’s with all the poop?!

    FireMom’s last blog post..Smooch

  25. Tracey on February 1, 2008 at 10:42 am

    Oh my goodness. Things this funny should be outlawed. Uncontrolable laughter causes danger to those with a mouthful of warm tea in their mouth. Hot tea through the nose is not pleasant! LOL!

  26. Kristabella on February 1, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    Hahaha!

    And ewwww!

    And also, I would have blamed it on the cat.

    Not to self….look before kissing presumed “boo boo.”

  28. Waiting Amy on February 2, 2008 at 5:53 pm

    Thanks! I needed that. (sorry about the neighbor)

  29. Erin Brown on February 3, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    This post had me rolling laughing. I’ve never done the “poo poo” finger thing (my son hated having his hands dirty when he was a baby, he was OCD about clean hands). However at least when you opened that creaky door (hehe) your child wasn’t there to yell, “Mom, I can’t believe you just farted, say excuse me!” No getting out of it then. Gotta love kids!

    Erin Brown’s last blog post..Is there hope?

    [...] All I can say to Izzy is, EWWW!!! because I’m laughing to hard to say anything else. [...]

  31. Lori on February 4, 2008 at 9:57 am

    OMG - too funny! Some version of that has probably happened to all of us. I fear everyday during aerobics it will happen to me. So far been able to squeeze tightly and hold it in. Someday I’ll probably spontaneous combust dping that. And I agree with another post…FARTS are the funny things ever! My sons and I were just saying that the other day. Of course, they have an excuse…they are teenage boys. What’s mine?! I don’t care…it’s still funny!

  32. g-man on February 4, 2008 at 1:08 pm

    Yeah, I do believe that those kind of mistakes we only make ONCE. :) I wish I have enumerated and wrote down all my “Notes to self” so I could review them from time to time. Funny post.

  33. Melissa Q on February 4, 2008 at 7:10 pm

    BBAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH. OMG that was hysterical! But that one comment was right, you could have blamed your flatulence on the fat cat, hahahaha, as if he would have fallen for that. OH MY, I cant even imagine your face at that exact moment. That would have been priceless…

  34. Candid on February 4, 2008 at 7:48 pm

    That was too funny not to say so!

    OR …. we could make a couple of tree barkers sit down and make use of our own oil reserves, and rely significantly less on foreign sources …

    OR …. we could take the $32 million that Barack Obama raised last month alone to research alternative energy sources. Funny how people can cough up that kind of dough when they want to …

  37. Lizzi on February 8, 2008 at 11:08 am

    Oops - somehow commented on the wrong post from Ms Izzy … somehow the Oomph just got lost.

  38. Kyle on February 8, 2008 at 1:22 pm

    The View ads make me feel out of place, but as an expectant father I’ve been hanging around studying up. Finally felt compelled to say thanks.

  39. Mysticall on February 14, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    I actually laughed out loud!
