The Blueberry Torpedo


Just look at that face.

Okay. So I always swore I would never ever OMG for realz evah talk be one of those annoying parents who talks about their kid's po.op. And for sure I would never ever EVAH have the gall to write about said po.op.

Yet here I am. But don't consider it po.o talk. Consider it a Public Service Announcement. Because you need to know these two things can happen.

Number One.

Blueberries come out looking the exact same way as they go in.

Number Two. (*heh*)

Kids po.op in the bath tub.

So yeah, I swore I'd never talk about my child's po.o. But I also never thought I'd have a conversation like this.

The scene: Bath tub.

Me: "Honey, can you come give me a hand for a second?"

Him: "OMG what happened?!" <--seriously always in a panic about something.

Me: "No big deal. I just saw some warning bubbles followed by po.o face. I have a feeling something may be hiding out and I'll need you to just wipe his butt for me when I lift him up."

Him: "OMG should we give him another bath?"

Me: "No, it's contained. Just wipe his butt, GAH!"

Him: "OMG. It's a blueberry torpedo!"

Me...whisking said child away to work some bedtime magic.

About 30 minutes later I enter the bathroom to find a tub still filled with water and a few random half blueberries floating about. The husband, in all fairness, did throw the largest turd away, but apparently left me with the job of berry picker.

Him: "Do you think we should boil the toys to sterilize them?"

Me: "Why? They're just berries...."


Because the standards of cleanliness...they fall. Apparently.


And just look at that face? How could such an angelic creature drop such fruity bombs anyway?

This. Made my day. And that face? That is the face of a Blueberry Bomber.

Awesome story. Made me laugh and think twice about feeding my kid berries.

I sooooo want to take a picture of my daughter's poop face - it's been the same since she was an infant, and it makes me laugh every time.

We just had a discussion like that this evening, right before bath time.

4yo: Remember that time I pooped in the bathtub?

Me: Yes. Don't ever do that again.

Watch out for edamame, too!

In a comment on one of my posts, you once told me that you would never write about baby poo or pee unless you could make it incredibly funny.

Mission accomplished.

kmina said...

Thanks for the warning. ;-))
And I agree with Jen, that IS the face of the Blueberry Bomber.

OMW you had me in stiches, although, having been there myselef, I found it to be no laughing matter. Lessons I have learnt, he who gives child enema in bath is bound to be scooping out some "torpedos".

Dried cranberries even retain their color.

Blueberries AND corn. Good to know! I really should mail you a little fish net:)

That is pretty much exactly the reaction my husband would have, too. Everything's an emergency, everything requires sterilization. Isn't is maddening? I mean it's sweet and all, but maddening.

LMAO on this post. Sorry...but there is no way around po.o talk once you have kids. Baby po.o is like a 2nd language...it can tell you so much about what is going on with them....so therefore...it must be analyzed, discussed and pondered just like everything else about your kid. But poo.p in the tub...that is just funny and gross all at the same time. We have had one episode like this and I actually did bleach the tub and wash all the toys....I just couldn't help myself....and apparently...all men leave the poo.p for mom to clean up....eewww!

And...I must say...that photo...Dang your kid is super dooper cute!!!

How is it possible this child manages to get more beautiful each time I see him?

How, I ask?

I've never seen G look so much like you.
