Declan: Dada, my tummy hurt at school yesterday.
Bryan: It did?
Declan: Yes. A lot. Then I went to the bathroom and pooped.
Bryan: Well, that’s good.
Declan: But I pooped so much the toilet wouldn’t flush.
Bryan: {trying not to laugh} Oh really? Did you go get a teacher?
Declan: Yes.
Bryan: And what did he do?
Declan: He went and got the cus.. cus..
Bryan: The custodian?
Declan: Yeah. And he fixed it. {pause} And my tummy felt a lot better.
Bryan: Well, that’s good. {pause} And I am highly impressed you managed to clog up an industrial strength sewer system.
Declan: *I* didn’t do it! My poop did!
The kid does have a point. Too cute!
I think I’m just a little bit stupider after reading that…
Steve, glad I could help.
OMG, only a guy would be proud of this
LOL
I think my son would have just left it! At least Declan got help. And he shared a sort-of embarrassing story with his parents, which is good!
Good grief, it’s a boy thing. My six year old wants to be the world record holder for the longest poop ever. I just don’t get it.
ha. There used to be a girl here at work with whom we would occasionally discuss our… digestion.
Love this story!
LOL – oh my!

What else would talk about over banana pancakes?
A few months ago a neighbor boy and his friend came and asked for our plunger. His mom and I are always sending our kids over to borrow things like eggs, sugar, garden hose, etc so I didn’t think anything of it. When they returned it I asked if everything was ok and the friend looked sheepish and said, “Yeah, I just clogged up their toilet.”
AAAAAAAAAAAAACK! You can TOTALLY keep the plunger!!! My husband laughed and asked what else I thought they were going to use it for. Well, I keep my plunger in the kitchen because I’ve only ever had to use it for kitchen sink clogs. So I just got myself a new kitchen plunger.
Lizzy, that is hilarious!!!
Thats great. When my son was 6 he clogged our toilet so bad I had to call the plumber. He was about 80, when he was finished he told my son to break it up with a stick the next time its that big. LOL.
