Poop can be funny. The word- not the actual noun. Here's my logic:
- Say it to most 6-12 year olds and they'll laugh.
- That's why that Poopsmith character in the Home Star Runner cartoons existed.
- My husband and his sisters made up their own "word" growing up, which, at a mere mention, would break them into hysterical laughter. This word was the lightning-speed-stringing-together of alliterative body humor- "boogerbuttbumbarfboob." Now, "poop" isn't in there, but if it started with "b" we all know it would've made the cut, right along with "fart."
All that to say- poop can be funny.
Poop can also NOT be funny. Baby poop all over Mama's clothes for the fifth time today? Potentially not funny. Poop on the bottom of your shoe? Not funny. Poop from the sky, landing on you while standing on the train platform, on the way to your first grad class? Definitely not funny. Mostly just gross. Really gross.
Due to their congregating in MacDonald's parking lots, I assume seagulls survive off of old french fries. However, their poo does not resemble french fries in any way. I'm sure the French would have plenty of words for being POOPED on by the foul birds too.
Luckily, I decided last minute to grab a light jacket. Otherwise, the gift from above would've landed directly on my shirt sleeve. Foul! Here's how my jacket experienced grad school yesterday:
haha coming from the weigands today and you made me laugh ... love your style of writing!
ReplyDeleteWe love talking about poop around here. Not sure why, we just find it hilarious! One of our favorite sayings is "I love you and your poop." :)
ReplyDelete@Alana: that's a great saying! because that's true- we love each other, poopiness and all. Look at that- poo can even be philosophical. :)
