Let me preface this story with a story of my own from childhood. Once, my family was camping and my little brother had to poop. My dad took him into the woods, pulled down his pants and told him to push. Well, apparently my brother went number two on a spoon that someone carelessly left on the ground. When my brother was done with his business, my dad told him to look down and check out what he pushed out. I am sure that Gabe was astonished to discover that he pooped out a spoon! My dad teased him about that for years and I think that he probably believed it until he got older and understood that that just wasn't possible.
Back to today. Trent came running up to me screaming that he had to poo. He had a mouthful of apple at the time so some of it sprayed me as he screamed excitedly. I grabbed his hand and we ran to the bathroom.
I plopped him down on the seat (he'll only pee standing up if he's outside and Mark tells him to go on a tree). As Trent pushed, he started to scream, "Yay, I pee pee on the potty!" and as he did so, a large piece of the apple he was eating fell from his mouth and landed on the tip of his pecker. He was so excited to be going potty that he didn't even realize he was spitting out his apple. After he was all done, I told him to look down at his junk which he promptly did. He saw the apple skin sitting on his pecker and his big brown eyes were as large as saucers when he looked at me in astonishment. I couldn't help but laugh as I told him that he peed out his apple! He continued to stare at me as he whispered, "I pee pee an apple?" I couldn't help but tell him that he did and now he is running out of the house shouting to the rooftop that he peed out an apple!
That silly little boy! I can't help but laugh at his cuteness and at the fact that I am pulling the same jokes on my kid that my dad did on my brothers and I!
