Joshua and Beth were playing their traditional round of Sunday games in the living room while I was making dinner. They start laughing hysterically. So I come over to see what is so funny. They are playing Connect Four. I am attaching a picture here for those who don't know the game.
I know better than to ask what is funny so I just watch and wait. Joshua then calls out to Beth "Hey Beth look it's poop!" Then making as realistic sounds as he knew how Joshua slowly drops checkers (yes for mothers of boys who know...the black ones) into the base of the game. With each dropping came the "plop" sound effect. Then after all the "poop" was loaded into the base of the game, the "toilet" flushes and all the "poop" is released out of the base of the game. I couldn't help but laugh at his imagination and be horrified that he (who learned this type of behavior from his older brothers) is teaching this behavior to my baby girl. What is a mother to do?
