Poop! There it is.

Okay, I have to confess right away that I didn't come up with that title. That's from amy b. She's very creative when it comes to potty talk.

As I mentioned in my last post, Princess G has a new chore to do around here. She is officially on what we like to call "Poop Patrol" for our 2 (incredibly slimy and drooly) boxers. Up to now it's been 9's job, but he's more than happy to pass the poop torch. He doesn't know yet that this really means he's going to have a few new chores to do himself in the area of yard work. We'll be breaking that news to him sometime in the upcoming weeks.

So, partly because I love this blog so much that I'm always thinking of ideas for it (and dog poop struck me as a good one?) and partly because no one in this family can pass on the teasing and torturing of another family member, we all traipsed outside to follow Princess G around while she performed her first round of Poop Patrol.

She was totally gracious about it:



And we, as her parents, were totally mature about the whole thing:



Also, why have I never noticed that my daughter has a tongue to rival Gene Simmons?:


I should also tell you that our dogs don't normally poop on the pool deck. Our side yard was flooded with all the rain, so they had no choice.

Why I feel the need to defend our dogs' choice of pooping places is beyond me.

Although, come to think of it, I have been judged for much less.

ANYWAY, in case this post isn't scintillating enough, I have also included video. Before viewing, please know that:

A) I apologize for the rude screeching you are about to witness my daughter performing. I don't like to make her obnoxious side public knowledge, but for the sake of the blog, anything goes.
B) Mr. C's "are you ready to have 8 kids and pick up their poop" comment is referring to the fact that PG has informed us that she would like no less than 8 children when she's grown up. Let's all hope that she didn't inherit my famous lack of patience.
C) Please note how everyone in the video more or less ignores me, as if I'm some kind of obnoxious oof or something. Oh wait....



Did you catch it at the end when I asked "How do I turn this thing off?" Ya, I was on a Flip. Are you familiar with the Flip? It has a grand total of 3 buttons. And yet, I was at a loss for how to turn it off. My ignorance of all things technological is astounding. However, that doesn't stop me from wanting the new Mac iPad that I learned about today. Despite it's stupid name (PAD? Really?) and the fact that all the nerdy Mac guys (like my husband) are dissing it, I think it's perfect. All I want is my music, my blog, my books, and my internet in one place and that's exactly what this is. And it starts at $500. Ring a ding, ding! I'm going to start hinting now in time for my b-day next year. Are you listening Mr. C? Hinting. Me. iPad. Birthday. Yes?

You all have a good night!
