Direct All Pool Pooping Concerns To Me

Apparently there is a major epidemic of kids pooping in pools and bathtubs. My Google search results told me so. I have become the Internets premier authority of pool/bath pooping. Every single day, I get visitors looking for answers to many pool-pooping related questions.

To ease your searching, I've compiled your questions into one handy post and answered them each with my vast poop knowledge.

1. What to do when a kid poops in pool

Scream "Doody in the pool!!!!!" and get Carl to come retrieve the turd.

2. Toddler poops in pool

Hmmm, I wonder if this could have been avoided with, I don't know, a swim diaper! I'm just sayin'.

3. Why kids poop in pool

Because they're all full of shit

4. Toddler poop stories

Well, I hear they sometimes poop in pools...

5. Children pooping in the bathtub

Yes, it happens. I have proof. No need to be alarmed. It's a rite of passage for all Moms. Welcome to the club!

6. Kids poop pool

I'm no medical doctor, nor do I play one on the Internet, but pooping a pool sounds serious. Forget Googling this and get your asses to the Emergency Room.

I hope I have been of help to all of you who wound up here in your poop-related time of need. You can always count on me to be your go-to girl for any further water-born poop concerns.

Doctor, I have this poop...

Nah. only kidding...Tee hee...

This is weird. What to people do on the internet anyway????

Don't you love google searches? They are so funny!

I'm hear to attest though that swim diapers do NOT hold in the poop. It may keep a turd from floating off but poop particles will seep out. They totally suck.

Some day I am going to figure out how to do the google search thing... how funny!!!

Oh thank goodness I have a direct contact to all things poop/pool/tub related! The thought has haunted me for years on who to turn to on all things poop in the tub related. So do you scoop it out and keep bathing or is the child removed from the tub and a new one started? :)

I understand their concern, but I can't imagine their worry being big enough to google it. Kid poops in the pool? CLEAN IT UP.

Unless you live in Caddyshack, and then you empty the pool, discover it was only a candy bar, and eat it.

Poop in the tub was one of those fun surprises they never mentioned in any of the parenting books. I'm on my second kid and I still have to admit it leads to a little pandemonium.

*snort*

too funny...

My hubs is the chief pooper scooper in our house when it comes to bathtub incidents. I can't do it - maybe I'll google how to overcome my aversion to scoopin' the poop and see where it leads me ;)

Well thank you so much. My daughter hasn't pooped in the tub for months and NOW, today, AFTER READING THIS she did it. (After I read it...not after SHE read it.)

You were right - we so are the same person. Who knew I had a double in Alabama?

Oh, and your commentary on # 6 - I am still wiping away the tears. Hysterical.

Slackermommy said...

#3 and #6 had me laughing out loud. I love potty talk.

Karen said...

Yes, "poop" is the #1 way people find my blog too. Thanks to dh (pediatrician) who used to own the blog and so lovingly gave it to me.

Of course, "what is death by poison like" has come up too many times for my comfort! ;)

Son son keeps pooping in his swim diaper at preschool so they have to bag his bathing suit and send it home. Yuck!

Maybe I should stop giving him Metamucil right before school :)

You are indeed the Almighty Poop Expert. At our house, we went through a long PIT phase (Pooping In Tub).

One night when Super B was 2, I was capturing lovely memories on video while he played in the tub. He giggled as he threw a bathtoy at me. Only it wasn't a bath toy. It was a big fat turd.

I have been affected by that recent epidemic.

Cate said...

I haven't had my first poop-in-pool experience yet, but I'm sure it will be any day now!

I gotta tell ya, though...when it DOES happen, I'm not sure I will feel the need to turn to google!
