"I'm poopin'!!"
October 26th 2006 01:11
Sometimes I wish I could be a kid again. The things kids can get away with is so awesome.
Today, Jonny and I went to the mall. We walked around, and the last place we went to was a clothing store selling the latest slut wear for 6 yr olds. Even though 98% of the stuff I would never let a 15 yr old wear much less my 6 yr old, sometimes I go in just to see what they have for the kids whose mothers aren't trying to relive their glory days through their girls.
We were in there, and I found some things appropriate for my daughter. While we were checking out, Jonny was being his adorable self. The cashier, who was the modern day version of Tammy Faye Baker, said "Awww you're so cute!! How old are you little guy?" And Jonny looked right at her and announced....
"I'm pooooopin'"
Of course, she giggled and thought it was the CUTEST thing ever. Oh my God!
Damn, I can not think of any adult situation where you can tell a stranger "I'm poooopin'" and they think it's cool. Or pick your nose willy nilly, or yell incoherent sing song messages when the notion hits. Or spin around until you fall down in the middle of the mall.
Being a kid is amazing. They take that shit for granted. It's just life to them. But, what adult wouldn't love to have that much freeedom and the confidence to use it? I know I would love it!
Next time, I'm going to go to a public restroom, and if a stranger knocks, I'll just say "I'm pooopin'!" just to see if it's as cool as I think it would be.
Edited to add.... I LOVE the new ads at the top of my page!! I'm cracking up!
