Frogs, Snails and Poop-y dog tails

My son is completely obsessed with poop. He always has been.
Is this just a “boy thing”, “kid thing” or purely a “bunny thing”? I don’t know.
Last fall we went into the visitor’s center of a local nature preserve. While in the kid’s section, I had the most difficult time pulling him away from some sort of exhibit I can no longer recall. But all I had to do was say, “Look Bun, its deer poop!” (They had an exhibit that contained boxes of labeled petrified deer, rabbit, mice, opossum, and owl poop. There might have even been beaver and fox poop come to think of it.)
The child dropped what he was doing and ran straight over to me. So of course then we had to talk about what animals poop (most of them), who poops (”Yes. Even Granny and Pop-pop poop sweetie!) and why. And of course we had to talk about the differences in the poop and what animal had the biggest/smallest poops.
If you ask him about that trip — even to this day — he won’t talk about the trails we visited, the flowers we saw or the bridges we traversed. He doesn’t even remember the small fish pond or watching the snapping turtles. Nope. He’s all about the poop.

I was on a nature hike one time. The ranger was really into poop, pointing it out all over the place - owl poop, coyote poop, rabbit poop.
Finally the little boy next to me said “Dad? How come there is SO MUCH poop out here?”
At the Boston Childrens Museum..There is a HUGE exhibit of Poop in the bathrooms.

I think that’s a boy thing. My boss has twin boys and they’re always saying “booty” and “butt”. It’s all about butts and poop.
Wow, Seth probably thinks you’re a total poop expert! Just imagine what he tells his friends!
STOP IT! I am laughing so hard!
Ooooh, do I wish I had a boy now.
I remember, I was in the third grade and this ranger came and gave a talk to our class and he kept talking about owl “pellets” and deer “pellets.” I had no idea what he was talking about.
It would have been easier just to say poop.
I’m the same way, sort of. Give me a cup of coffee and the Sunday New York Times crossword and I’m all about poop…
That will be an interesting topic on his first date.
Hey Lisa,
Well here’s the bad news. I’m 26 and I still get into poopy jokes from time to time. It’s kind of silly but I think it keeps me young and I get on great with 7 year olds. lol My GF is used to it and it’s become something almost charming for her and part of why she loves me. A rare girl I think.
Cheers.
The male species and their poop obsession. Has any woman EVER, I mean ever, called their significant other into the bathroom and said, “Hey hun, cmere and look at this!”
I don’t think so.
lol thats hilarious. i think its all guys that are like that. my husband talks about pooping like its as regular a topic as eating or working!
too funny and too true! poop jokes, the spying of poop, poop itself… all more a part of my life than i would have ever thought possible!
That’s odd. Boys are icky. Cute…but icky.
That’s hilarious. Hopefully he stops short of playing with the poop.
Besides, toilet humor is just funny.
Wait until he reads and finds books like The Adventure of Captain Underpants! My 6 year old son loves them because it has potty humor and poop! Prepare yourself.
LMFAO! the captain underpants books are a riot!!!!
oh man.. poop obsessed. i guess there are worse things?! lol
Its all about the poop here. Did you know you could insert the word “poop” into any kids song in the moment of a tantrum and … wham … instantly you are a stand up comedian. Ya all things potty basically for the boys in our house. Sigh.
Have you ever heard of “Walter the Farting Dog?” We have THREE of those books. Walter’s an incredibly gassy dog who goes on all sorts of adventures! I should write about him at some point!
