Note To Self No. 473

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 sneaking out of his extremely poop-filled 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,
Izzy

    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.

    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. :)

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


  7. By motherofbun on Jan 30, 2008


    Oh that is SO FUNNY!

    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!


  11. By Mrs. Jeff on Jan 30, 2008


    Awesome - FARTS are officially the funniest thing ever!


  12. By Kelley on Jan 30, 2008


    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!

    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.

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


  20. By Dorothy Stahlnecker on Jan 31, 2008


    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



  22. By Daisy on Jan 31, 2008


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

    Daisy’s last blog post..Because “Hootycreek” is so fun to say



  23. By FireMom on Jan 31, 2008


    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



  24. By Tracey on Feb 1, 2008


    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!


  25. By Kristabella on Feb 1, 2008


    Hahaha!

    And ewwww!

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

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


  27. By Waiting Amy on Feb 2, 2008


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


  28. By Erin Brown on Feb 3, 2008


    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?



  29. By Lori on Feb 4, 2008


    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!


  30. By g-man on Feb 4, 2008


    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.


  31. By Melissa Q on Feb 4, 2008


    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…


  32. By Candid on Feb 4, 2008


    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 …

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

    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.
