So, Tearfree was cruising the Mummy Blogosphere looking for blogging inspiration when she discovered that one of the Mummies whose blogs she visits from time to time is really upset that her just-turned three-year-old has taken to calling his parents names like "poopy-head," "poopy-pants," and "poopoo-face."
Now, Tearfree can't possibly imagine getting upset about such a thing but it's possible she just doesn't remember those days well enough.
She does remember, however, that as a parent of a toddler she was definitely on the slacker end of the parenting scale and leaned strongly to letting two and three year olds call each other poopy heads. She has far more recent memories of telling her daughter that it wasn't vaguely amusing to say things like, "Mummy, you're a poo poo," but that's about it. She never felt that there was anything abherently abnormal or over-the-top bad about it. She just thought it was a stage and a pretty long one at that.
Now, Tearfree is wondering if her laxity contributed to extending the time period during which she had to put up with endless unfunny poopoo and peepee jokes. What do you all think?
Update: Tearfree just checked her telephone messages on the caller ID and saw there was one from "Alexandra Poo Poo," the sychro swim coach who turned Tearfree's daughter off synchro swimming and whose name was most definitely not programmed into the phone by Tearfree. Hmm.

this is by far the crappiest post yet.
BAA HA HA HA HA HA.
What is it with kids and toilet humor?
My boys are 33 and 38 and they still think it's all hilarious. Other than that they're fairly bright young men.
Perhaps the three girls will outgrow it before they're that old.
