Dana has been pot\u00adty train\u00ading late\u00adly and she\u2019s get\u00adting quite good at it. She\u2019ll be play\u00ading with her toys, mind\u00ading her own busi\u00adness, when all of a sud\u00adden she will leap to her feet and sneak\/bolt towards the bath\u00adroom. After suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly deposit\u00ading sol\u00adid mat\u00adter she will emit a tri\u00adumphant cry: \u201cI went poop!\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s quite charm\u00ading, real\u00adly.<\/p>\n
Yes\u00adter\u00adday one of our friends, Jen, vol\u00adun\u00adteered to take Dana in for the day while Paula was on bedrest. Things were going just fine until Dana pooped in her pants with\u00adout show\u00ading the slight\u00adest inter\u00adest in Jen\u2019s bath\u00adroom.<\/p>\n
Dana need\u00aded some clean\u00ading to pre\u00advent a rash, and when Jen brought Dana to the bath\u00adroom Dana stared at the toi\u00adlet and then said slow\u00adly to Jen, \u201cOh, you have one of those.\u201d \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Assump\u00adtions. As my friend Fras\u00ader used to tell me in high school, the word assume makes an ass out of you and me.<\/p>\n
For the record, I am assum\u00ading the ety\u00admol\u00ado\u00adgy of that com\u00adment traces back to don\u00adkeys and not to sphinc\u00adters, oth\u00ader\u00adwise it might be con\u00adstrued as a vul\u00adgar\u00adi\u00adty. My thoughts on curs\u00ading, vul\u00adgar\u00adi\u00adties, and exple\u00adtives<\/a> are a lit\u00adtle com\u00adpli\u00adcat\u00aded, but the bot\u00adtom line is that I try to avoid offend\u00ading peo\u00adple with the words I choose with\u00adout becom\u00ading bound up in sil\u00adly rules (such as eras\u00ading the word ass from the dic\u00adtio\u00adnary because one of its uses is a syn\u00adonym for pos\u00adte\u00adri\u00ador). Plus the ensu\u00ading pun (result\u00ading from the jux\u00adta\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion of poop and hiney) would be too awful even for me.<\/p>\n Back to assump\u00adtions: Dana assumes Jen has no pot\u00adty and so she excretes wher\u00adev\u00ader she hap\u00adpens to be. I assume God has no opin\u00adion about my deci\u00adsions and so I don\u2019t pray to receive guid\u00adance.<\/p>\n Bad assump\u00adtions lead to stinky sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dana has been pot\u00adty train\u00ading late\u00adly and she\u2019s get\u00adting quite good at it.
