Dirty Nephew
My 2-year old nephew, Joey, is starting become a real talker. His favorite word of the moment is "poop." While this is helpful in requesting a fresh diaper and making his aunties laugh, his fondness for fecal-related conversation is proving to be a bit over the top.
At lunch in the Basque restaurant the other day we were asking him what he wanted to eat. The waitress came up, looked at Joey and charmingly inquired, "How are you little man?" Joey swung around smiling, looked her straight in the eye and yelled, "EAT POOP!"

















Well, Joey's in good company. His "god-sister" Madeleine was just yesterday earnestly pretending to change her doll's poopy diaper in the pew at mass yesterday. She chose the quietest moment of mass to wipe her doll as she shouted to the entire congregation "POOP! WIPE!"
